Thread: Firearms Registry Consultation Open

I have no issues with the Registry in its self
It’s no Different than Rego on a car you buy a new car you put it in your name….
It also means you have a record of your firearms incase of theft

Things I am worried about are what if the Registry is hacked or leaked
It could be used as a shopping list for the criminals

Is there any catches ie are they going to start asking you to justify everything you own etc etc


The registry it’s self is probably a good thing imo….. as long as the access to the information isn’t abused by the powers that be

Of course there are catches and of course they will start to ask for justification for everything that you own
And of course the registry will be abused by the powers that be, why would you think otherwise?

It's not a shopping list for crims and I wish people would stop using this as an argument against the register. If crims knew you had a FAL they would just figure out what they want to steal once they get there, there is no selectivity to it.

It is however a CONFISCATION list for the police/government.
They'll start with some unusual and low volume firearms because "it only impacts a small number of people"
Then some more
Then some more
And so on

The police continue to argue that it will stop the "flow'" of firearms from licensed owners to unlicensed but again, that is only after the fact and I'd warrant you could go a long time between audits and have purchased a lot of firearms in the meantime. That's your gang initiation passed, a spell inside, a patch and a meth dealership awaits you once you are out.
Or of course, just add a couple of crates of guns to your drug importation order.

A clusterfuck it will be

I don’t think otherwise that’s why I said what I said
I don’t mind the idea of the Registry
If it was used as such

But I know it will be abused if they decide to ban more guns which they probably will and sadly I don’t think there’s much we can do about it you can bitch moan and protest all you want but they don’t give two fucks about what we think… so yes they will know exactly who’s got what
But what is the other option keep the gun Illegally and risk your license
Maybe just me but no firearm no matter how cool or nice is worth loosing your license over

@rambo-6mmrem I think we are in vigorous agreement!

What if they want to take all of them? Then your licence is worth nothing anyway.

It isn't if the Registry is hacked or leaked - it is when it is leaked or stolen.
When the criminals get their copy of the registry - and they will - it becomes their shopping list with the what where and how details.

Whatever security you have is meaningless when several large criminals threaten to beat the proverbial out of you our your family if you open your safe(s) for them. Registry might help to subsequently recover or identify your stolen firearms. It won't protect you.

That should read if you don't open your safe(s)
