Conservative attack ads and the Gun Registry Debate

Conservative MP, Shelly Glover sent off an attack ad flyer in the mail trying to promote herself and her government as the only option for keeping Canadians safe.  It reads "our Conservative Government is taking action to get tough on crime and keep Canadian families safe by proposing legislation that will..."

Someone needs to tell Glover and the Conservative Government that "proposing legislation" is the same thing as empty promises.  This is the same government that prorogued government not once, but twice, and in doing so twice killed several crime bills that were going through parliament.  These are the same proposed legislation that are continually being resent through the process...  

Unfortunately, the Conservatives like to talk about crime and keeping Canadian families safe more than they like to actually take any action on the issue.  

I find it hard to believe that Shelly Glover, as she said in a recent news conference, became a Conservative MP so that she can change the laws to make it safer for her when she goes back to work as a police officer.  I don't see any of the proposed legislations outlined in the flyer that would make her position as a police officer any safer than it was before she left the Winnipeg Police Service.  Glover, a former police officer,s is backing the party line against the gun registry while many police chiefs across Canada have come forward in support of the gun registry as a valuable tool that save Canadian lives.  

Excuse me if I find it hard to believe that the Conservatives are serious about keeping Canadian families safe.  

Long gun registration has polarized Canadians on whether or not it violates privacy issues to the cost.  I really can not buy into the cost issue.  If you want to own a gun then I don't see why you should be exempt from the cost of registration of your firearm.  We're all expected to register our vehicles and you don't see anyone in an uproar about that.  Heck, in this province you can't serve alcohol unless you pass a responsible server program.  Get with the program Conservatives and long gun owners... no one is attacking or picking on you.  This is not a rural versus urban issue... it is about expecting everyone to behave like a responsible Canadian.  Suck it up!  You don't see the drivers and servers crying about being a responsible Canadian and doing their small part to keep our country safe.
