Kuntz, a 22-year EPS veteran, says 2,410 of the 2,631 officers from across the country he surveyed in Blue Line magazine since last spring believe "inaccurate" data from the registry is affecting police safety in every province and territory.
The firearms database shows registered firearms and their owners, but Kuntz says the data doesn't tell police officers where the firearms are actually located.
There's nothing that says a firearm has to be in possession of the person who the gun is registered to as guns are never linked to an address in the system, says Kuntz who is an avid hunter
