In reply to the discussion: The shooting: How many more of these "things" are we going to put up with? [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)78. Canada's registration program was obviously designed to frustrate and piss off
gun owners, and cost millions to maintain. It's bad design should serve in a template fashion for us only in how NOT to do it.
