[QUOTE="AC016, post: 77161, member: 9619"] Well, they are certainly not lax. We have had quite a few re-vamps of our gun laws due to certain incidents up here, namely the Polytechnique shooting. We just had the gun registry ordered to be scrapped - though some provinces are have fought to save info pertaining to their territory. The gun registry was essentially a way of tracking every long-gun that a person possessed. This was a way to give law enforcement a heads up to what, if any, long-gun someone may own when answering a call. This lack of knowledge was not more evident then in the Mayerthorpe shooting, where 4 RCMP officers were killed by James Roszko with a H&K 91 - this rifle was not legally registered to him. Anyhow, needless to say, the laws are pretty strict up here. But, they will never be able to stop the constant use of firearms in criminal acts.
