I hate thieves.
Maybee their NDP thieves, everthing given to them, why work like everyone else!!!
Um, ok. Thanks for coming out.
3 firearms stolen?
Where they properly licensed per the long gun registry?
Where they properly stored per the long gun legislation?

So much for our MP's spending all that time to make it safe for us to possess long guns.

By March 2005 the net cost of the firearms program was $946 million and by summer of 2006, costs had exceeded $1 billion.

Neither the costs incurred by provincial and territorial agencies in enforcing the legislation, nor the costs borne by Firearms owners and businesses to comply with the legislation have been calculated. (Auditor General's Report 2002, Chapter 10).

Two Library of Parliament studies estimate that the enforcement and compliance costs are substantial, running into hundreds of millions of dollars. (Compliance Costs of Firearms Registration, 10 October 2003; and, Estimates of Some of the Costs of Enforcing the Firearms Act, 20 March 2003).

There are nearly 7 million registered long-guns in Canada. Yet of 2,441 homicides recorded in Canada since mandatory long-gun registration was introduced in 2003, fewer than 2 percent (47) were committed with rifles and shotguns known to have been registered. (Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics).

Still firearms are stolen.
Still not able to be traced.
