Hmmm! What about nail guns and hiltis? Must be no housing construction.
If you've ever lived in Fredericton, this wouldn't surprise you one bit. The amount of extreme left wingers that live there is unimaginable. None of whom have a grain of sense about how things actually work in the real world.
I feel bad for Gunnuts who live there. They are like small Islands of rational thought in an endless Sea of stupid.

Yup. There's a core of radical leftists in Freddy, centered at University of NB. Wish there was an export market for them...

I doubt this would hold any water though, I know for sure that municipal bylaws prohibiting discharge of firearms hold zero weight, so I bet an airgun registry wouldn't either.
The isn't the first thread I've seen with people dumping on NB. Really uncalled for, we have things ok here. Over 10% of NBers have PALs. Lot's of work to do though growing shooting sports here, but things are looking up here I'd say.

That is a Fredericton City regulation only , not a Provinical regulation . It is ironic because a few years ago , a Fredericton City Police Officer was shot and killed by another City Police Officer in the Police Station while they were playing quick draw with a loaded side arm.......and now they are worried about BB guns . On the postive side , N.B. has the second highest rate of firearm ownership per capita in Canada.......only NFLD has a higher rate per capita of firearm ownership .
What is with these quickdraw cops? A good US Navy friend of mine was stationed aboard an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War. He told me the Marines that policed the decks at night were playing quickdraw with loaded firearms and one got shot. After that the Marines were still allowed to patrol the decks with their sidearms, but were not allowed to have ammunition.
The airgun registry is actually too ridiculous to bug me anymore, but what does bother me about New Brunswick are the very restrictive hunting and shooting laws.
As just one example, how about the Moose hunt? Its done on a lottery basis (with many people never winning), it lasts for only one weekend in the fall(no lie!!), but during that time you can shoot any moose, bull, cow or calf. Yet the local Micmac and Malechite natives legally shoot moose all year round and I have met several who brag about how many moose they shoot each year. I've lived all across Canada and this is the worst game management I have ever seen. Just one example.

Reminds me of that old late 60s , early 70s television show " Andy of Mayberry " where Andy , a small town Police Chief would only give his Deputy , Barney Fife , one bullet for his side arm , and he could only carry that bullet in the front pocket of his uniform shirt for emergencies , the rest of the time , Barney had to carry an empty revolver......lol
It is interesting to read the posts regarding the registration of air guns in Fredericton. It seems (on the surface) to be the kind of bylaw enacted by impotent political forces who want to appear to have done something significant to improve life in the local area. Usually these rules do not appear out of thin air. The usual problem is that some parents consider an airgun to be a toy, and they buy them for their kids in lieu of a baby sitter. Kids (usually boys) have their very own and creative ways of using their new "toys". They shoot at dogs, cats, birds, other youngsters they don't like, car windows etc. Some parents fail to supervise their children, and this is one of the results. It happened in the town where I live some years ago. Then the local powers step in and create by-laws that ban pellet guns (which is the case in many communities in Canada). That means that you cannot shoot one out of doors within the town or city limits. The same is true in many cities in the USA. Just try walking out with one in public, and count the number of minutes it takes the police (usually a SWAT team) to respond to calls when someone sees you with one. The big problem is the cheap pellet guns. If they all cost $1000 on up, the owners would be a lot more careful about what happens with them, and registering them would not be necessary. It is too bad that this situation has come to pass, but it has happened as a reaction to behavior rather than a proaction to one.
You sound like every anti I know. People can't be trusted blah blah blah.....One doesn't hear about the waves of air gun crime in cities without such nonsense. Sheesh give me a break .
After reading some of the posts in the politics section by certain members from NS, nothing surprises me.
You're forgetting the Yukon which tops the list at 19,453.

My memory may not be the best as I was quite young watching that show, but I believe it was Barney's choice saying that he only needed one bullet.
