The reason it is in place is because the majority of Canadians are in favour of strong gun control laws. It is a small, fringe minority of Canadians that are in favour of anything close to what the Americans have. That is why handguns have been banned in Canada since 1934, with the exception of collectors.
It is interesting that the Police are the strongest supporters of the Firearm registry. One assumes that this is because the police consult CFIS
10,300 times a day. But, what the heck do the police know about crime prevention....
