Confused and conflicting
statements on gun registry
You would hope that a wanna-be prime
minister has clear thoughts on an issue as significant as the gun registry, but
that might be asking too much of Justin Trudeau.
First, Trudeau said he always
supported the gun registry. Then he said it would be too "divisive"
to re-introduce it. Followed quickly by a statement supporting Quebec's efforts
to bring it back in that province. He finally said the gun registry was an
example of failed public policy.
READ: Trudeau targeted over gun registry flip-flop
"I voted to keep the firearms
registry a few months ago and if we had a vote tomorrow I would vote once again
to keep the long-gun registry. However, the definition of a failed public policy
is the fact that the long-gun registry is no more. . . . The fact is, because
it was so deeply divisive for far too many people, it no longer exists." -

Is anyone able to follow Trudeau's
logic on this?
