DON’T BE RIDICULOUS — IT’S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE TO CELEBRATE A HUMAN-RIGHTS VICTORY OF THIS MAGNITUDE: Quebec outrage as Tories celebrate long-gun registry vote with cocktail party. “The bill passed easily, by a margin of 159 to 130, as the Conservatives used their majority in the House secure passage of the bill, which now goes to the Senate where the Conservatives also have a majority.. . . But supporters of the long-gun registry, many of whom are from Quebec, said they were appalled by the festive attitude of the Conservatives, who attended a cocktail reception with pro-gun lobbyists on Parliament Hill to mark the historic change.”

Usually politicians celebrate reducing people’s freedom. This is a pleasant change.
