i was reading about this and maybe i just don't know enought about this but is it really a good idea to get rid of the long gun registry? Is it really an inconvienence to register the gun (being as mine was registered for me when i bought it). Maybe someone could enlighten me but i seen adds from the government saying that its an inconvienence for hunters and people that live in rural areas. Well i am a hunter and i live in a rural area and it didn't really bother me to have to register my shotgun. So is it really a good idea? In 2007 the RCMP accessed the gun register database 2.5 million times so obviously its worth having.
