timbr, while I agree with your statement and message. You do know that the other guns won't ever get the same treatment as the sporting or long guns! I have nothing against any gun owner or hunter myself, either. I would like to see the pie in the sky bandaid/political solutions dropped and implementation of proper punishment for all crimes (not just firearm related ones). We all know guns don't kill or commit crimes... We all know the registry has , nor will it ever do anything to prevent crime across our country. Current systems is a joketo sum it up lightly!

I believe we'll never see no form of legislation when it comes to firearms in canada. We have been operating under it for years priorfor the dreadful PAL, soat best we'll go back to an FAC type system. You'll still need police agency approval to obtain firearm related items and little piece of paper. As far as hanguns, auto's, etc they have beensubject to a different code and set of rules for many years...that will never change IMHO.

I hope harper is allowed to revamp it and remove the registry as we know it now..but am not sure it will fly with a minority to many veggie burger eating opposition members to say ney to the repeal vote.......we'll see!
