Having a government keep tabs on who owns what guns helps solve crime? maybe...
16 year olds should not be allowed own a fully automatic guns? maybe...

Registration, like one does with their cars, is another matter. Helping to make people responsible for the guns they buy.
You are perhaps a Canadian like I am and disagree with the neocon Harper killing the gun registry.

but still, [ come on ]... "drugs, guns, and gambling for anyone and everyone!" is this our new slogan?

No, but something like "Its your money. Do what you want with it" would work for me.

If someone commits an illegal act... murder or assault etc. then charge them for 'that'.

The fact that someone owns this or that type of currency shouldn't be cause to assume
they will commit an illegal or immoral act.

Dont want to steer this too far off topic but why would anyone disagree with killing the bloated, inefficient, and ineffective Canadian long-gun registry? Handguns are still registered and still are subject to a different license and other authorizations to transport.

The long gun registry did nothing to prevent crime. Some say that police would know if someone has a gun before they show up. There are two issues with that. 1). many people never registered their guns and 2). criminals don't register their illegally owned guns SO police need to go in expecting to see a gun regardless.

It was a total waste of tax-payer's dollars. I'm glad it's gone.
