It is still incrementally death by a thousand cuts over the course of 70 years since 1934. Would you not call $2 Billion Canadian to be punishment for everyone? Especially the gun owners burdened by it?
What happens to a historic Bren "grandfathered in"? Is it destroyed when the owner passes on or is it able to be transferred to another owner? What about a WWI era Lewis Gun? What about an L1A1?
I don't know any canadians who feel punished by the gun laws.
Perhaps I talk to different people on different forums. But I get the distinct impression from the Chaps on the Maple Leaf Up Forum (http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?s=9af520c4178a7d5cb9a9f98d464c53b0&threadid=5822&highlight=gun+control) that the Gun Control in Canada has made their life harder.
This old thread from 2003 (http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?s=a9f8ab6b04a37462e2a766e290f0541d&threadid=5044&perpage=40&highlight=gun%20AND%20control&pagenumber=2) sure seems to have a bunch of Canadians hopping mad.
As far as comparing a driving license and a gun license, I feel the comparison is disingenuous. Apples and oranges and all that.
Yeah, exactly, no-one comes and hauls all your cars, car parts, car accessories and other accouterments away if you happen to let your driver's license expire and try to renew it the next day. Gun Control advocates have stated that guns should be licensed like cars, but when you press them on it, that's not what they actually want.
