! Theses peoples refuse to register their guns, although it is ! mandatory in canada (to be registered within 7(?) years...)

There has been total firearm registration since 1968.

Absolute BS. Since the late seventies, the mandatory registration of all firearms purchased is in effect and you must hold a valid (in french) A.A.A.F. But you did not have to report firearms you already owned. But with our new law, you *have* to register them within 7 years. And apparently, you have to show proof of ownership of a registered firearm to buy ammunitions. But I must read about this aspect a little more... jfa DePompadour, Societe d'Importation Ltee; Limoges porcelain, silverware and crystal JFA Technologies, R&D consultants; physists, technologists and engineers.
