So if I wanted to obtain a gun for hunting purposes, what would I do to get one?

buy one

After you obtain your PAL (possession and acquisition lisence) which is a 2 day course that costs about $160. Then wait for a month or three for the RCMP to send you the actual license after they review your background and test results. Then get a small game license, which is about $130 or something and another weekend long course if I'm not mistaken. Not sure for bigger game like deer, I know you need tags for deer but I haven't looked in to it yet. It still is a pain in the ass and a long process if you are staring from scratch.

SDM

So it's still a long process. I guess it's worth the wait.

It's not a lenghty process, and you do not have to take a two day course. I recieved my license in under two weeks of taking the test. I just read the book before taking it. Neither do you have to buy a hunting permit in order to buy a gun you just show your license at the gun store.

OK

Quick, Anti-Gun Activist Nutjobs! The Canadians are about to be free, you've gotta do something! I suggest you all run to Canada and stop this atrocity NOW before its too late. This might start some sort of ball rolling, and you can't have that.

While you're up there, how about staying a little while to see if you like it around 'dem 'der parts, and consider never coming back!

Sorry my Canadian neighbors, but we gotta get rid of these anti-gun loonies somehow, and I figured since you all are so nice you wouldn't mind looking after them for us. Careful, we are quite worried they might hurt themselves down here, so make certain you keep a close eye on them up there. Quite a few of them turned anti-gun loony when they shot their self with a gun because they were too stupid to be holding things that require an IQ above 50 to operate. You'll also notice quite a few of them missing fingers because some of us thought we could trust them with plastic butter knives (no such luck). OH! And try not to stare when you see the ones that look like old lesbian hunchbacks. All though it may look like it you'll have to trust me on this one. This strange creature came to be through no fault of their own, but simply because they were born ugly, deformed, stupid, and whiney (aka liberal).

I love your positive outlook on the 99%. Would love for this to pass but I will be 200% shocked if it actually did.

It is a HUGE WASTE OF TAX MONEY. It is a flopped UN pyramid scheme set up by the RED. Canadians have no idea how much cash has been funneled through. It makes the RED adscam look like peanuts. Although none will compare to the UN RED driven climate taxes. Bring us to our knees!

This is more about corporate control than anything. They don't want you to have a gun to shoot your food. They want to force you to buy it off them, so they can put poison in it and you have to eat it.

OTTAWA — MPs voted by a clear margin Wednesday to repeal the federal long-gun registry, signalling for the first time since the program was adopted 14 years ago that it is headed for the scrap heap, despite police assertions that it saves lives.

A private member's bill, sponsored by Manitoba Conservative backbencher Candice Hoeppner, had the backing of all the Tories, from Prime Minister Stephen Harper down, and enough opposition MPs to clear its first major hurdle of winning support in principle.

The bill passed by a surprising 164-137, winning more supporters than expected as 12 New Democrats, eight Liberals and one Independent cast their votes with the government.

No Bloc Quebecois MPs voted in favour of the bill.

The proposed legislation now moves to an all-party committee for public hearings before it returns to the House of Commons for a final vote and then heads to the Senate.

"It's Step 1, but there is still a lot of work to do," Hoeppner said after her bill passed second reading.

The bill would only end the long-gun portion of the registry, eliminating the need to register rifles and shotguns.

The requirement to register handguns would remain in place.

If the bill makes it through Parliament, it would mean the dismantling of eight million firearms records, say police.

The registry has been the source of many court battles, bitter party infighting between rural and urban MPs, political rhetoric--and a scathing 2002 report from the federal auditor general that found that final tab to implement the program would ring in at more than $1 billion, dramatically more than the $2 million original estimate.

The Harper government, which has strong rural support, has introduced legislation to kill the registry, but the bill has languished due to a lack of opposition support and government will to propel it through Parliament.

MPs are normally permitted to break ranks from the party line for private member's bills, giving Hoeppner's initiative enough support from dissident MPs to succeed, even though the three opposition parties officially support the gun registry.

Pressure was on MPs to show up and the Commons was packed, with 301 of 304 casting votes -- including a Bloc Quebecois MP who was wearing a mask because he suspects that he has the H1N1 virus.

Supporters and opponents have campaigned nationwide in recent weeks in an attempt to sway the outcome of the vote, lobbying in newspapers, on radio and in the hallways on Parliament Hill.

The Conservatives backed radio ads urging Canadians in swing ridings to call their MPs to voice their opposition to the registry.

The registry was adopted 14 years ago by the former Liberal government as part of a wider gun-control package, largely due to lobbying from the families who lost daughters in the 1989 Montreal massacre, when Marc Lepine used a semi-automatic rifle to kill 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique. Mothers of victims have campaigned relentlessly in the last week to preserve the registry as a vital component of gun control.

"I'm a mother as well and I completely sympathize," said Hoeppner. "Unfortunately, the long-gun registry didn't do anything to stop criminals from having guns. It was a huge waste of money and it targeted the wrong people."

Police, who normally side with the Harper government on law-and-order initiatives, have been at odds with the Conservatives over the program, maintaining it is an important crime-fighting tool that they use often.

The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police asserted in a news release Wednesday that the registry has saved lives.

The chiefs say that police tap into the registry more than 10,000 times a day.

"Some of the most important queries are about domestic violence calls, which every police service in Canada receives," said association president William Blair.

"This is not a regional issue. It is not an issue between big cities and small towns. It is not about hunters and sportsmen, collectors and enthusiasts. It is not about politics.

"It is about public safety. It is about giving police the information to deal with the danger posed by a firearm in the wrong hands."

Montreal police Chief Yvan Delorme said that registry proved its value following the September 2007 shooting at Dawson College in Montreal, when police heard of threats made by another individual and they were able to check him out, learn he owned several weapons, and confiscate them.
