Another fact the Police Chief's association will ignore!
I wish the would y just admit what we already know- that the registry is a crock....

Good work Randy, and I can't wait to see how the media and the politicians are going to spin this......I'm sure they'll give the hand wringer types more air play.

Thank you Randy.
I just watched a death wish marathon. Bronson is serious old school movie magic. For those that voted against, I hope they were the cheap extras filmed in those movies.

Way to go Randy, good to see most of the other EPS members see things like you.

Thanks for the effort, but as long as the police chiefs continue to support the registry, your efforts may be in vain.

That's nice, but does it really make a difference.
I think most of us, and most politicians know that most front line officers do not support the registry.
Only some upper management and those with political ambitions support the registry.

I thought it was already decided that the people were against the long gun registry? And the only thing keeping it around, re the politicians who decided they didn't like that idea and voted against the peoples wishes anyways! Oh well, just remember to vote Harper on Monday! And maybe it will actually be rid of? But he's probably just blowing smoke up our *****es? Either way he still gets my vote!

Thank you Randy, Not only are you an inspiration to all of us but you also make us believe in the great fellows that are in the police force. Especially, with all the sh#t wrap happening with the RCMP. You got a job thats tough to do with limited resources at times. All that wasteful money could've gone into a specialized task force or even more police, better equipment, police dogs or even imagine more helicopters. Unfortunetely, we lost our chance to abolish the registery. It doesn't look like the Tories will get a majority. i predict the NDP will form a coalition government.

A Conservative majority will do it
The money should have gone back into the pockets of taxpayers. But the Libs and NDP spent it so cutting off the registry will ensure that our money wont continue to be wasted
I predict a C majority

Notice how this news has not made it to the liberal media.
It is something the liberal media just do not want to report.
