On a more positive note, the gGun Registry so was so screwed up and unworkable that after spending one billion Canadian dollars on the thing without it ever working, the Canadian Government scrapped the whole registry.

There is hope for us yet.

Actually, I think quite the reverse. If the Federal Government ever tries to implement a similar comprehensive data base and fails in that, they will unilaterally demand that the only alternative action is to confiscate the weapons they deem problematic.

gGun Registry?? Depends on what kind of typo that is.
Handgun plus a few other "restricted" and "prohibited" weapons must still be registered. And you need have a license to purchase firearms as well as ammo of any type. I just bought a box of Federal .22 LR a couple of hours ago. 555 for $26, and there aren't that many available in my area.

The long gun registry was repealed by the conservative government but not because of its failure to work. It did work sufficiently enough to trouble its opponents and such people who consider long guns to be tools, such as farmers and Aboriginals.

The Conservative party had campaigned against the gun registry before it took power. It was unable to carry out its intent during a series of parliaments in which it was a minority government, It finally achieved majority government status which gave it the votes to repeal the long gun registry.

Some Provinces are still resisting and attempting to get the information which the repeal statute had required to be destroyed so as to give them a start on maintaining their own registries.

BTW speaking of Aboriginals, my favourite tale of the debate was of an aboriginal Member of Parliament whose response to the "safe storage" requirement in the original Liberal legislation was "my mother lives in a tent".
