I was stating that as a result of the long gun registry there are probably more Canadians who possess restricted firearms. That, no doubt, was not the intent of those who pushed for the law.

I am personally opposed to the registry. It provides little benefit and is intrusive on law abiding Canadians. Its benefits aren't worth the costs.

Firearn ownership and hunting has long been part of the culture of rural Canadians. It was insulting of the Liberals to pretend that it had no place in Canadian history. They seem more than willing to protect and fund cultural diversity when it comes to immigrants but, somehow they think all Canadians should fit into their cookie cutter of what a Canadian is and values.
