Last month Toronto, Ontario police "seized" over 600 firearms from legal owners because they've let their firearms ownership licenses lapse and/or had their firearms hidden "under beds or in closets".
Notice it was not mentioned that those owners were "bad" people or that those firearms were illegal. The govt' are using the "Gun Registry".....which originally was supposed to only let them know who owns firearms......to track down legal gun owners. So now a few hundred citizens in Toronto will have no firearms to hunt, enjoy shooting and to protect themselves if there is an home invasion. No firearms were taken from "bad people" in that raid.
