Update
It has been a very long time since I have had the opportunity to blog anything here at my own site. Having to tend a very hectic day job designing Telecommunications networks in a venture capital start up has kept me from putting the same attention a writer would have, say, on a blog they were funded by special interest parties to develop. Sorry. No funding from the 'powerful Canadian gun lobby' here. Nor from Mr. Suffleupagus, or any other contrived entity 
But I came across this excellent article in my lunch hour and wanted to share it with you as well.
It bears note that the Canadian long gun registry is dying (if not dead already) despite the best efforts of organizations with a financial interest in preserving the enterprise of regulating social behavior. And it is encouraging to see our Global neighbors making the same recognition that this ill conceived social experiment is a complete sham.
Enjoy.
Registration, the big lie.

[ Reads: 177 / Comments:3 ]The Firearms Control Act has not only alienated the police from the public - in particular firearm owners - but also brought the South African Police and Safety and Security into disrepute.
The police in acting as custodians, promoters and enforcers of this Act as their duty and responsibility to the citizens of South Africa have become the object of public doubt and mistrust in their ability and willingness to uphold public safety and security. The Firearms Control Act undermines the very foundations upon which public trust is built in seeking to disarm citizens who daily have to face violent criminals intent on inflicting trauma and depriving them of life, assets and dignity.
“Social philosophers and statesmen over the centuries have agreed that the first duty of government is to protect its citizens. Unless this is done, all else is futile. If the state does not guarantee the safety of its citizens, anarchy ensues.” -- Stephen Mulholland, Another Voice, Sunday Times, Aug 6, 2000.
