Reply #42: what is wrong with your brain?

And if Canada's registry was such a valuable and efficient tool, why again are they discontinuing it?

So I will tell you, AGAIN.

Because they are right-wing pieces of shit, running a majority government with less than 40% of the popular vote. Over 60% of Canadians who voted, voted against them.

Did you forget that somehow?

Could it be that a large cross section of Canadian gun owners refused to comply?

Nope.

Could it be the metric fuckton of money spent on it to no good effect?

Nope.

Could it be that they are liars and they lie and lie and lie and lie, and invented themselves an issue out of a tissue of lies over several years of lying, and now they are rewarding the people who shared their lie: the right-wing assholes who have been trying to destroy the firearms registry since its inception?

Yep.


How many starving kids could have been fed by the UN with those funds, mikey?

And you, sitting there in the place that is not just allowing children to starve, but kills children wholesale, think you do not look just plain sick saying that?

How many federal government programs of yours can you name that operate for, oh, under a billion a year? (We'll take an inflated estimate of the annual operating costs of the registry and multiple it by 9, the population ratio.)

The fucking thing costs under $100 million a year.

You want to know what this filthy right-wing government is going to spend on overpriced unneeded military aircraft your government is selling it, and maintenance, over the next few years?

Well, the Globe and Mail says $30 BILLION.

How many babies could that feed, Jack?

Better it should go into the pockets of your military materiel barons, I guess, neighbour.
