Federal ministers played down notions Tuesday that Senate committee amendments to the Liberals' gun bill would hobble the legislation.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale suggested the government's intentions for Bill C-71 will be reflected in the final version of the legislation, despite efforts by Conservative senators to cut provisions they say penalize law-abiding gun owners.

The bill would also force gun retailers to keep records of firearms inventory and sales, and require the purchaser of a hunting rifle or shotgun to present a firearms licence, while the seller would have to ensure its validity. "While this legislation remains weak and needlessly penalizes some lawful firearms owners, Conservative senators believe that these amendments provide some measure of improvement," said Tory Sen. Don Plett.

And the last time I purchased a firearm, Cabelas check that my PAL was valid and thus they have my address!

What a bunch of crap. Already have to present a valid PAL to purchase a firearm, restricted and non restricted! But gang bangers and drug dealers just laugh at this as they could careless about legalities of purchasing, storing and transporting firearms!!!!

Lifetime background checks? What about new Canadian citizens applying from countries that have poor or no background check records?

Leave my HONKS alone!
