Well...as of a couple days ago if you own guns and live in Canada and
didn't apply for a liscence (for the guns you already own of course) you
are now a criminal subject to fines or jail time.  In 2 years if you are
still a law-abiding citizen and you haven't registered each and every
firearm that you own then you own prohibited property in Canada.

Anyone with the least bit of sense who has seriously thought about this
law realizes that it is useless in all aspects and will do absolutely
nothing AT ALL towards it's official mandate - to reduce crimes commited
with firearms.

Since when is a criminal going to register his/her gun?  What is the
weapon of choice in almost ALL crimes involving firearms?  A 30-30
hunting rifle?  A .22 single shot?  No, obviously not.  Most crimes are
committed with handguns, and in order to legally own a handgun in Canada
it must be registered anyway - this has been the case for many years.

Gun control - coming soon to a country near you!
