Well, I think that was his point. Sammie said the Gun Registry did _nothing_, Flames Addiction was pointing out that it could do _something_, like bust any crook using a registered weapon.
You say yourself in your post, organized crime maybe. Is every shot fired faulted to organized crime? I bet there are a whole lot of domestic crimes, crimes of passion, etc. that are used with legitimately bought and registered weapons.
Not that I care, I'm just really into debating semantics :P
Anyway, again, it totally sucks that these guys were killed. What a frigging nightmare.

well yea, I structured my post the way I did on purpose. I personally think the gun registry penalizes legitimate gun users, but if it catches people who commit crimes, that's a good thing - it's unfortunate the money pit it has become....but that's another thread.
I noticed on the news tonight that the guy has a pretty detailed criminal record with violent crimes (pointing a fire arm multiple times, sexual assault), so the guy was well known to police and the community as a lunatic - very unfortunate and tragic that this guy couldn't be kept in check.
