This is one of those topics that I really hate because it always pits hunters against hunters.I'm not trying to say this is a govn't conspiracy but tschaef is right,look at Australia,they started with registration then went to banning guns.Think it won't happen here??Check out the CFC website,find the page with banned firearms,and see how many weapons are already banned.Do we need AK's for deer hunting....no,but look how many shotguns are on that list.These may be ugly guns(eg.Franchi Spas12)but they are no more dangerous than a Rem.870!Could a Rem.700,.308,with a 3-9 scope on it,also be labelled as a "sniper rifle"!!Also,for those of us who own restricted or pre-ban firearms,they do not have to book an appointment to come and inspect them,they can show up at any reasonable time and request to see them(without warrent).When they are in your house they may inspect any room they wish if there is "just cause"(which has yet to be defined!).Will I registar....yes,will I be first in line.....NO!
