Not trying to be political here but I think one aspect needs to be exposed. The legislation has driven a wide gap between legitimate firearms owners and the police. This is undisputed by most and whether the distrust will ever be repaired is doubtful.
I honestly am not trying to be political, just pointing out something that has occured with a law that is unjust and should never have been introduced. There have been too many "witch hunts" by the police on honest citizens who have made minor mistakes in ownership. Prime examples are elderly owners some in their 80's who were unaware their license to posess expired and have had their firearms seized. Some of these people were Military Veterans and have not and would not every be a problem in Canada.
If this is too political I apologize and hope Badger will remove my post.
