begins the 21st century, so too does Vox
Populi begin it's third year in
publication, and this time, no more
mister nice guy. After all, how can one
even begin to show sympathy for the
establishment fools who are ruining
Canada? Purposefully. So, to sing their
praises...
Let us raise up a temple To the cult

OUT WITH THE
OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
Now that the January 1st deadline has
passed for the Liberal's new gun
registration, we can all let out a
collective sigh of relief - and relax.
From this day forward there shall be no
more home invasion robberies, drive-by
shootings or ethnic family massacres
caused by an insufficient quantity of
goats being exchanged for the bride.
Now I don't think anybody still
believes this Liberal lie that the new
gun control registry will reduce crime.
After all, handguns have had to have
been registered since 1936 and rifles
and shotguns since the late seventies.
The Liberals have admitted that crime
prevention is not the reason for the new
gun registry. What then is?
If history has taught us nothing else
it is that the tiger can't change his
stripes, anymore than a Liberal tyrant
can change his ways. Britain and
Australia have already been down this
road and it eventually led to the nation
wide confiscation of hunting rifles from
normal law-abiding citizens - a fact
seldom mentioned by a compliant media
here in Canada. In both Britain, and
later Australia, violent crime against
an unarmed citizenry grew almost
overnight, as did the use of guns in the
commission of crimes. The criminals,
apparently, hadn't bothered to register
their guns, and knowing that homeowners
are guaranteed by the government to be
unarmed, took advantage of the
situation.
Another hard pill to swallow is the
way in which this boondoggle was sold to
Canadians. Early on in its inception,
the idea was to scare Canadians with
statistics showing a high rate of gun
deaths in Canada. The actual numbers,
however, didn't jive with the
government's intent so the figures were
falsely inflated by including police
shootings in the statistics. In this
way, a self-defense action by police
against armed criminals was hidden
within the figures to appear as a gun
related crime. This certainly lends
credence to the old adage that 'figures
cannot lie, but liars sure can figure.' |
