Here is something you may find interesting.....Remember when the Brady Bill became law, how the Justice Dept. promised that no FBI records would be kept on gun purchases and that Brady gun purchase checks would not be collected as a method of back-door registration?

Well, I'm in law enforcement and an amazing thing recently happened in my dept. A local resident was being investigated (for placing anti-government signs in his yard, of all things) and a call was made to the FBI for an inquiry on this person. Well, what do you know, the FBI provided not only that date of each time his name was submitted for a Brady Law gun purchase, but also the name of each gun store he purchased a gun at. They are keeping records of our gun purchases, don't be fooled!

and we all trust big brother to tell us the truth hmmmm
happens all the time

The FBI was supposed to destroy the records after 120 days but the Bush administration shortened this to 90 days. However, the FBI shares the records with it's Canadian counterpart and European counterpart, Interpol. These Canadian and European institutions keep the records forever. Since they all share information, all it takes is a simple inquiry for the FBI to have access to these records.

Our government isn't trusted to know who has what guns but the English Crown is!

Yes the Brady bill with no FBI records on file after 90 days on gun purchases. This really is back door registration as Canada will store the records for you. (Canada is one of the chief UN lackey countries) So Canada will store your gun records for you and give you back the information through NCIC anytime you need it to hang someone or put the call in to BATF for a hit. NCIC can get the information stored for you via CPIC so that is how the FBI can retrieve it so fast. You are likely looking at a half hour retrieval time at the most but generally 14 mins. Canada could retrieve that information for its own use in under 1 min. As you know Canada requires total gun registration for all firearms and confiscation is likely to follow in a few years using UN troops to collect as has happened recently is Europe. This is demanded by your UN masters.

Whenever gun control is mentioned, we always hear promises like: well, the new law won't ban handguns, just restrict them, or this law won't lead to unwarranted search and seizures (on a witch hunt for firearms.) What we find in every case, however, is that gun control, unlike firearms, knows no restrictions. That is to say, gun control always involves more than they say it does.

In Canada, for example, we must now fill out an extensive survey littered with personal questions about everything from homelife to income, to the name of our last girlfriend. Strange, but I don't recall an indepth personal probe mentioned as part of the registration strategy...

Misplaced Priorities

Deaths due to firearms are negligible in Canada as the following data illustrates and yet the government insists that registration is neccessary for the safety of Canadians:

Note 1: The federal government spends roughly $3,000,000.00 per year on breast cancer research. In it's first year the federal budget for firearms registration was $118,000,000.00. That means that each person shot to death in Canada, is worth 162+ women dying of breast cancer in the eyes of our government. A yearly maintainance cost for registration is not available yet. This does not include the cost to the provinces to implement firearms registration.

Note 2: This figure excludes deaths from cancer, circulatory/ respiratory diseases, motor vehicle collisions, falls, fires, drowning, suicide and homicide that are indirectly due to drug/alcohol abuse. In 1994, an esimated 17,228 deaths, one every 32 min., were alcohol- related (Single, Eric. Canadian Profile: Alcohol, Tobacco & Other Drugs 1994. Ottawa ON; Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse, 1994, p.79)]

Note 3: Of those firearms used in homicides, how many were actually purchased legally to begin with?

Note 4: Notice that the vast majority of deaths by firearms were the result of suicide - which likely would have been accomplished by other means should a gun not have been available.

Now ask yourself, should we be spending billions on a problem which really doesn't even exist?

Gun control is about safety - in that they are correct.

BUT, it is for the safety of power hungry sell-outs, and not the people, that this type of legislation is being produced.

I read somewhere in the states that candle deaths were actually higher than firearm deaths! I'll try to find that article again - it would make for a good laugh.

Quick Quick! Register those candles! Let's limit the size and width and for goodness sakes let's keep the wick to a minimum. Candle deaths are on the rise, and only decisive government action can hope to stem the tide. - GET A GRIP!

I'm slightly too intelligent to fall for mass-hysteria campaigns I guess. Maybe someday the government will provide me with a free re-education course so that I can be a good citizen again. Gee I hope so

Yours in Truth,

The Sharpened Pen

The corrupt liberal politicians following the politically correct gun control agenda outline of the UN have been abetted by our liberal- biased media to new heights with gun control laws which are aimed at the elimination of all firearms in private hands. The registration demand is now ongoing, confiscation demands are already drafted and implementation dates set for collection. This is planned and happening in Canada right now and the U.S. is next make no mistake about it. Americans, if you don't presently have a gun, sell your coat and buy one soon.

Not only sell whatever you have and buy a gun, buy a gun private sale to stay below the radar of the registration records and the Gun Grabbers!

I just bought a few more yesterday after that NY plane crash crap, just in case they ban them in their fascist reaction.
