Lies, Damn Lies, and Liberals

Well.

One day into my effort to take up the hobby of target shooting and already I'm seeing a hubbub on my blog about my choice being "childish".  About not understanding that there are "obviously good reasons for the gun registry".

Really.

Like how the gun registry helped save lives at Dawson College.

Like how it prevents guns from getting into the wrong hands (like the shooter at Dawson College, at l'ecole Polytechnique).

If people like Michael Ignatieff and his GTA friends had simply been honest - that gun registration makes it easier, in a very few cases, to investigate crimes, but won't obviously prevent anyone with a registered gun or who refuses to register their gun from using it to commit a crime - well, I would have perhaps felt less offended by the wishes of the "important" cities of Toronto and Montreal.

This minion from the unimportant hamlet of Lethbridge might have just chalked it up to yet another expensive effort for a very minor positive return - nothing new in Ottawa.

But when so much time was spent trying to support a cause with the use of lies and more lies, well, that offends.

When Michael Ignatieff puts the families and victims of the Dawson College shooting on display and talks about how the registry saved lives - without making it clear that Kimveer Gil HAD registered his weapon - well, that offends.

The Liberal Party of Canada. 

Do not forget the theft of Canadian taxpayer dollars to sprinkle around their pals in Quebec.

Do not forget the lies told to support their effort at propping up their failed gun registry.

Remember this:  there are lies, damn lies, and Liberals.

P.S.:

The message seems to be getting out there -

Toronto Star today: McGuinty sinking, poll shows: 76% want new party in power
