Official reactions
We've talked a lot about this recent incident but haven't said much about the political side of things, not that I think thats a bad thing. I think Harper is right in saying that now isnt a time to talk policies, still I think its worth bringing this up.

I think Charet has a good point, if this a gun registry can save SOME lives than it may be worth keeping. But the registry was useless here. Also I'd like to say that I saw most of Harper's adress on TV this afternoon and I was really impressed, he was really classy and didn't use the spot to thump his chest and tell everyone that he is right and people should rally around him or something like that. He was quiet and respectfull and said quite clearly that now was a time for grieving and not politics.
