OK, a "less inflamatory" response.....

Couple of years ago the gun registry went into effect in Canada. It's purpose was to register all weapons so police would know if they are responding to a house with weapons or not. Then it morphed into what was and wasn't allowed and what wasn't grew.
Here's what happen to my cousin in N.B.;
My cousin had probably a dozen rifles for hunting. Two of them were single or semi auto or whatever rifles based on the ar-15. He lives in the "back woods" and was never in trouble with the law. He hunts for probably half his meat if not more.
Police showed up one day and asked his wife to see his weapons (these two in particular). She wouldn't let them in and called John who was only 10 minutes away. He came home, produced the legally obtained/owned/registered rifles. They said they were now considered illegal weapons and confiscated them. If he resisted, they would arrest him. THIS WAS REPEATED MANY TIMES. This was the RCMP who confiscated his rifles which were 4-5 years old and cost him a couple thousand bucks. It was outside Hampton N.B. not exactly a "hotbed of crime" No he was not compensated, nobody he called would listen. If he has an ar-15 (I'm pretty sure that's what it was) then it's on the illegal list and he has no recourse, period.

The gun registry was abolished by the conservatives but don't ever expect anybody who knows my cousin or his story to ever register a weapon again. (if the registry was ever brought back again!)

Again, what people on here are concerned with, HAS happened in other western countries that are mirrors of the US. (Canada,Australia,etc) Don't be so arrogant to think "but we're Americans, WE wouldn't do this or that"
NOBODY foresaw hardworking entreprenuial Americans to be happy to lay around and collect a free cheque from the gov either...but what is the % who don't pay taxes? How many are givers and how many are takers? Which direction is it trending?

It's called social engineering and yes the gov does it all the time on various things. (what's the tax rate on alcohol and tobacco and why)?
