It only removes the unknown for those law abiding citizens who took the time to register. Most cops go to EVERY call expecting the worst and hoping for the best.
Franky I doubt one cop ever depends on the gun registry. It would be quite dangerous to go to a call thinking because there are no registered guns everything is safe. They would be safer without it.

Canadians don't offer their opinion. "They" tell you what you want to hear. Just my personal experience off line.
Immigrants come to this country and then whine that it isn't like their old country.

I'm not. Just don't tell me that there is "nothing more Canadian than offering an opinion". All I said was that that is bullshit, not that it is good or bad, or anything like my old country.
It is simply not a valid police tool.
It does not tell where firearms are for the following reasons:
1. At MOST 75% of the long arms in Canada are registered.
2. You can loan a firearm to any person holding a license.......then the gun is not at the address it was registered to....but somewhere else, perfectly legally.
3. The registry is so screwed up with inaccurate information that it is NOT ADMISSIBLE in court....that kinda says it all, doesn't it?
Even if EVERY long gun was legally registered, the police would have to be idiots to assume the presence of firearms based on the registry.
And everybody seems to forget; the same police would dance a jig if the Charter were burned on Parliament Hill.........
Any state where the police dictate policy is known as a Police state.....
think about that.
The gun registry is a diversion for the torys.. always will be. They keep it hot to take the heat off the real issues that need to be dealt with.

OK, here's the plan.
Step 1- Highway 2 to Calgary.
Step 2- Stop for Coffee at Krispy Kreme.
Step 3- Highway 2 to Fort MacLeod. (No coffee as I am sure you are eager to be on your way)
Step 4- Highway 3 to Lethbridge
Step 5- Highway 4 to Coutts
Step 6- Passage to Freedom.
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Fuck that.
Your bucking for an anti-Canuck medal I see.
wut! I thought I already had that.. even though I am not really anti-Canadian.
Nothing MORE Canadian that offering an opinion, stating your political views..
I may not agree with lots of your points, but I will tell you what Canada means to me.. and makes it so special.
In today's world there is so much fighting, Religion against Religion, Race against Race and tension over borders.
Canada is the one place in the world where you can set those difference aside and live in harmony with all cultures and races. A beacon to the rest of the world of how we should all live.That is my opinion of Canada..
Yet somehow, an uber Canuck such as yourself, will wander the threads, whining and preachinhg the doom and gloom of our country, whilst also saying that our country sucks ass, simply because you didn't get your way in a parliamentary vote.
Yeah, you're sure pro Canada.

I've never understood the resoning behind the necessity for the LGR when EVERYONE IN CANADA is already governed by the FAC Program. Same information. Program already in place since 1979.
OFFENSES AND PENALTIES ( under FAC)
It is currently an offence under the Criminal Code to:
- obtain a firearm without a Firearms Acquisition Certificate;
- make false statements to obtain a certificate (applicant or
reference);
- alter, deface or falsify a certificate;
- import a firearm for, or sell, barter, give, lend, transfer or
deliver a firearms to a person without a Firearms Acquisition
Certificate;
- use, carry, handle, ship, store or transport a firearm in a
careless manner; or
- fail to report a lost or stolen firearm.
Penalties for these offenses range from a fine to imprisonment
for up to two years.
It is important not to confuse the Firearms Acquisition
Certificate with a Restricted Weapon Registration Certificate. If
the firearm you plan to acquire is a restricted weapon, such as a
handgun or restricted semi-automatic military rifle, you must first
obtain a Firearms Acquisition Certificate and then apply to obtain
a Restricted Weapon Registration Certificate. If you want to use,
carry or transport such a firearm, permits are required.
The safety of all Canadians is the primary goal of the new
provisions relating to Firearms Acquisition Certificate. These
provisions will help protect both users and non-users of guns by
ensuring that only responsible individuals can acquire firearms.

Nah, just middle road.
Sure Canada's is a great country, but it has some faults.. such as.
1. Conservative minority Gov't. Should be majority to shut those wimpy Liberals up once and for all.
2. Gay's in the military, we should let them come out of the closet, that way you can be open about your sexuality.. oh sorry that's just a USA issue.
3. Infrastructure, we need more freeways, and better ones linking BC to the rest of Canada, rather than a goat path from Kamloops to the Alberta border..
4. Population and new Immigrants, open those doors.. if they agree to populate and live in the NWT. We need to populate Canada's north.
5. Move the Capital of Canada to Calgary..

Do you know how the old FAC program was handled? You went into the local police station and showed the Firearms Officer that you'd passed a gun safety course. Then he'd write your name on a card and file it in whatever cabinet your local Firearms Officer used as storage. Then he'd pull out a blank FAC paper card and type your name on it (with a ribbon type-writer) and hand it to you. There was no number on it or any way to link it to anything practical. Records were paper, no way to share between jurisdictions and once a person changes addresses, the file's obsolete. That is, if there IS a file, because, more likely, the Firearms Officer retired or transfered or lost the files completely.
