I hear you on this one. Our provincial government here in Manitoba has thankfully taken the stance that they will not actively enforce the rules of Bill 68. Of course if someone is caught breaking the law and is also breaking gun laws also, they get charged with the gun offences also. Those gun laws were designed for people living in a large metropolitan center. As one poster below stated, everyone has a personal line as to what controls are in place. I have no problem with a lisence to buy a gun, with a background check to screen out the loonies, but it should not need approval by a ton of beurocrats (SP?). I hope our new government, who has more of a rural origin and support base, will interject some logic into this issue. They made an election promise to do away with the registry.

For our friends to the south, one more sneaky aspect to our current legislation. You need that firearm liscence to purchase ammunition. Kind of hard to quietly keep and use your guns without shells.

One last thing that we see in our area. There used to be a lot of hunters from the US every fall. Since the new laws that number has dropped off significantly. The lost income from small rural businesses is a hidden cost of our bloated gun resistry costs.

Looking back, think this turned into a rant. Sorry folks.
