Canada moves away from gun control
Some years ago, a registry was put into place to have records of all Canadian long gun owners and their weapons. Today the Conservative government was getting rid of the registry and destroying all the existing records. As you can imagine, the pinkos are not happy about this.
Other weapons permits, etc stay in place.

Good news, in my opinion.

Really, if you are a peaceful law abiding owner what is wrong with registering, you put a license on your car and it can be a deadly weapon.

I wonder what this means to Americans travelling north to hunt? When this law went into effect, lots of Americans weren't willing to go through the registration and pay the fee ($75?) to bring their hunting rifle across the border (count me as one of these). I think Canada lost a lot of hunting/tourist revenue as a result.

The quintessential leftist view. The government (in the US) has no right to know how many legal guns a legal gun owners has. Study how they did it in GB. They didn't just come out one day and say ok boys, give the guns over, and hunting shotguns too. They do it in little pieces. A freedom here, in the name of safety, a right there, just because honest folks shouldn't care if they have nothing to hide. Things are not always what they appear to be on their face, especially where governments are involved. Just my 2 cents on gun control.
