Hi to all of you.  I know most of you personnally, except for the posts =
to 
mailing lists and public organisms.

------------------ beginning of letter ---------------
Yesterday night, around 2am, I was unable to sleep and surfing the TV 
channels up until I fell on a movie on the ShowCase channel.  This chann=
el 
is devoted to repertoire cinema and less mainstream movies.

As I flick to this channel, I see something I can't take my eyes off for=
 
it's overwhelming revolting topic:  a bunch of corpses are on a dolly, e=
ach 
of one being tied by the feet to a crane cable and quickly, efficiently =

taken away to a big heap of corpses.

Then, a lineup of peoples, waiting in line to pass before some officer. =
 
They are promplty urged to take off their clothes, aligned to face a wal=
l 
and shot in the back of the head.  And this continues like an dis-assemb=
ly 
chain.  

I did not bear more than a few minutes of the thing.  During thoses few =

minutes, maybe five or six rows of five peoples were slaughtered.  Peopl=
es 
of all walk of life, of all ages, young and olds, male and females, 
beautiful and ugly, strugling or resigned were executed by an indifferen=
t 
row of unintelligent and/or psychotic thugs that simply "executed orders=
".  
There was the firing squad captain that did not shoot but that gave the =

firing orders, so that the thugs could sleep without remorse.  There was=
 
their superior supervising the whole slaughterhouse operation and finall=
y, 
there was the political supervisor, dressed in the "de rigueur" grey wit=
h 
grey hat.  This operation was clearly in the context of some political 
purge.

I did not comprehend the full details of the context, but it appeared th=
at 
it was happening during the russian revolution, or more possibly in East=
 
Germany after WW-II.

The executed peoples were helpless, at the mercy of thoses thugs because=
 
they had no way to respond to death threat by death threat.  Most of the=
m 
had accepted their fate and walked to their death attempting to defend 
themselves with calm reason, useless in this context since the firing sq=
uad 
was composed of idiots and psychotics.  One girls pleaded for her life a=
nd 
her great beauty made the animals of the firing squad hesitate, but was =

promptly shot in the head from a distance by the political supervisor.

And it dawned on me that it could never had happened in a society where =
gun 
ownership was unregulated, and it also dawned on me that it is the essen=
ce 
of the natural outcome of all gun regulation/registration schemes.  That=
 to 
provide that kind of power  to the ruling political class is the ultimat=
e 
goal of gun registration and regulation, notwithstanding that they chose=
 to 
exert it or not.

Very soon (in principle on october 1st 1998), under the new bill C-68 , =
you 
will be declared a criminal in the full sense of the law, just as if you=
 had 
killed somebody, if you don't register your guns (or don't plan to do so=
 
before the limit date comes up in a few years).

Putting aside for a moment the tremendous costs associated with that C-6=
8 
nonsense (around 2 billions $ wasted money) we must realize that private=
 
law-abiding firearm owners account for 0.08% of all homicides commited w=
ith 
a firearms.

So, I ask because I consider it of extreme importance, what's the ULTIMA=
TE 
purpose of declaring criminal seven millions of individuals who wants 
nothing more than lead peacefull lifes?

Hitler, Stalin, Pinochet, PolPot and every other notorious psychotic
