Oh no Adrian. You have it wrong. We have seen this brfore. Now that the Liberals are back in, it's simply a matter of time before they bring back the transfer fee. This time, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they double the fee, "for the benifit of all Canadian taxpayers, to take pressure off the systems, and to further increase public safety". And give them enough time, my prediction is an annual fee to keep the guns registered. It's not going to stop there. My boss figures the registry is done in six months. I figure in six months they will perform an overhaul. But not for the better of Canadian gun owners. I'm a bit pesimystic I guess, but after seeing first hand how the registry works on a daily basis, I'm allowed to be paranoid.[:@]
