I am looking for a verifier

[Stevo]

sdh, all legally owned firearms must be registered in Canada. For initial registrations or where a problem arises the firearm must be "verified". There is/was a network of private citizens who act as verifiers.

OK call me stupid, but, I have to ask, What the heck is a Verifier? I've never heard the expression before. Is this a registration or something like that?-SDH

Think unwarranted government interference coupled with civilian conspirators/sympathizers trying to regulate private property and you'll have a good idea.

ALOT of us became verifyers because it cost the gov't alot of money to train us and once accredited we can refuse to work. Since the registration system relied on these unpaid volunteers and almost nobody was actually out verifying, they've since changed tactics to allow "over-the-phone verification". So much for accuracy for the vaunted registry database...

But I digress, this is really a topic all to itself and outside the mandate of this site

As bad as it may be (and it is bad), think of the poor fellows in the U.K. where private ownership is near impossible. We have background checks at the time of purchase and in my home state they have a running registration system that begins at the time of purchase, really bites, but still better than the U.K.-SDH
