So for our American friends that aren't aware, we introduced a new licensing and registration program for firearms some time ago. It turned into a massive money sinkhole for taxpayers. It's a very controversial subject because on one side you have the group that says the program is expensive and ineffective and on the other you have people who say it's imperative to get a handle on gun crime. I belong to the former group.
So, to try and appease the anti-control group they have waived the fee for renewing the license. To appease all Canadian taxpayers they are trying to reduce the massive cost of this program. So now the renewal comes with a request for a current picture. The criteria for the picture is expressly outlined as to size and content. For instance, you are allowed to smile but can't wear a hat. The face in the picture must be current, not cropped from another photograph, conforms to a certain size, etc, etc.
I feel the program is a complete waste of money but I have to comply in order to keep my firearms. So comply I did. They made no mention of clothing (other than the hat) or jewelery. This is the result.
Please note the poofy pink boa. I think it accents the little spiky hair tufts very nicely. Too bad you can't see all the little multicolored beads at the end of every one of those spikes. At least the dangly earring in my right ear is clearly visible. Unfortunately we forgot the lipstick and eyeliner and had to settle on the goofy facial expression.
I feel this picture is very suitable considering the nature of the gun control program. A goofy, ridiculous picture is perfect for a goofy, ridiculous program.
