As he said. Everyone is a collector. Now with this. I honestly do not have a problem with a collectors back ground check. It would not limit rights, but could limit mass buy for harm.

Seemingly gun collectors would be subject to inspections, to confirm the validity of their claims.
Nope, once they are deemed collectors, no more. That is another form of control.

If somone has not registered their handgun, they clearly didn't buy it from a legal source. Since 1934 all handguns acquired from a legal source like a gunshop are registered.
I have only one hand gun registered. That is because to get my CCW while in the Corps. I have to register it on base so the command will sign off on the paperwork required by the LEO for my CCW. Technically I am supposed to register all firearms with base. Not going to happen.

The existing guns which are not registered are overwelmingly shotguns and rifles because the shotgun and rifle registry only came in a few years ago. There are several reasons for this. People are lazy and it takes time for them to register. People don't agree with it and won't register no matter what. The government introduced an amnesty which lasts until May 2008 where you can keep your guns unregistered. And the Conservative government introduced legislation to scrap the shotgun and rifle registry, which means gun-owners are just going to wait to see if they can get a majority government and abolish the registry.
Good for them. Cause that regestery is just stupid.

That is a possibility. Its also a possibility without a registry. Either way, the Canadian gun movement is well informed about the nonsense pulled in Britain and Australia and is not going to roll over like those two countries did in giving up its handguns.
Not really. If they do not know who has them. Then they can not target people.

Luckily Canada is a Parliamentary democracy where such an event is impossible.
Right now they are. Maybe not so much tomorrow.

You're equipping them to become violent killers.
