Quebec's long-gun registry will go into effect Jan. 29, on the two-year anniversary of the mosque shooting. The National Firearms Association is encouraging people to delay registering as a form of protest.https://www.cbc.ca/1.4963232

NFA, CSSA, and CCFR actually get no American funding, but they do use a lot of NRA rhetoric and a lot of their supporters are Canadians who wish we had US style gun laws. Sadly although small in number, there is a vocal minority who want US style gun laws here too.
-
@NRA’s US-style propaganda is funnelled thru the NFA & those who support their aims. There is expertise & strategy being passed along from the US side. Rempel was all over social media posing with her gifts from NFA & Andrew Scheer is already on record wanting to weaken gun laws. -
Not sure how much money they get from the NRA, but sure copy them in rhetoric alright. Unfortunately there is a small but noisy minority who actually favour concealed carry, a 2nd amendment like right in our charter, and ending restrictions on assault weapons.

795,000 RPAL holders is hardly small
-
That is how many restricted weapons there are not how many RPAL holders as many hold multiple weapons. About 1% of the electorate are RPAL holders, only enough to make a dent in a super close election and advocating US style gun laws will scare many more.

Please tell me one time when a registered gun user in Canada went on a murderous rampage, and then tell me how the registry would have helped. I don’t own guns I think they are stupid...but even I know criminals get them on the BM and don’t license or register ...waste of money
-
Had there been no eyewitness and Quebec City mosque shooter hadn't turned himself in, ballistics would have shown what gun it came from and then the registry would be useful to track down owner.

If if if


but 2 billion dollars well spent right? Caught one guy after AFTER he killed what 11 people? Good use of funds right there
