The thing is they are breaking the law by having copies.
Ignoring the wish of the people who make and enact the laws will eventually come back and bite them.

Yes, we live in a time where the government continuously breaks the law and violates our Charter ... unfortunately.

I think I will start making a list of things like this to ask during the next election open house in our area to make a few candidates squirm.

Yeah, I see that another was started this morning after I started mine last night.

I don't see too many advantages for LEO's to use the old registry, since the info would be virtually useless to prove who owns what and how many and what the owner potentially did with the firearm?

I read somewhere,maybe even here,that the average Canadian firearm owner has three guns.........a shotgun,a rimfire and a medium caliber deer/moose rifle that they bought/inherited once and intend to keep forever. Most have owned them since before the LGR was enacted,dutifully registered them and,since then,have never changed even after the LGR was quashed. If that's accurate,it necessarily follows that data for most owners hasn't changed a lot,therefore,remaining LGR data would still be fairly accurate.

LOL it sure was not me, in fact after the registry was gone I posted that Peel Region knew I had guns to my home address.

You could have sold or given them all away, there is no way for them to prove anything from the long gun registry.

The long gun registry is garbage no matter where the copy sits, if you ask me or many other shooters all of those guns from back in the day have been moved to a new home, if they want to start up a new registry then have to start from scratch.

A lot of old timers and farmers most likely never registered them.

If the RCMP were to ever call you about a specific firearm, I would ask where and how they got that information.

Sorry Delmer..I swear I checked first, but obviously not..

I'll flag the Mods..maybe they can merge them .
