The NFA is somewhat the Canadian counterpart to the National Rifle Association of America, where I am presently employed.
Anyone who thinks that registration of firearms and elimination of certain classes of weapons from law-abiding citizens should have a look at the raw facts:
Canadian customs estimates that of all the bulk shipping (sea containers, etc.) that come into Canada via seaports, only 2-5% of the cargo is inspected.
This leaves a huge area for organized crime elements to smuggle in firearms to sell to criminal elements on the black market, which they do so with vigor.
Thus the registration and elmination of weapons under C-17 and C-68 does not provide an effective means of controlling illegal weapons. The cost of maintaining a National Firearms Registry takes millions of taxpayer dollars away from methods of effective crime control.
See the NRA's website for more info www.nra.org, and in particular their Institute for Legislative Action www.nraila.org
If you care about your the status of your individual freedomes, I strongly suggest that you join the Canadian NFA and exercise your democratic rights while you still have them!
One who bears arms is a citizen. One who is prohibited from doing so is a subject.
