Unlike Beef and Lumber, firearms do make it across the border to Canada leading to 12 year old girls being shot in the face while riding the bus (she survived btw, Jane bus) as well as many murders.
As a result, out of touch politicians enact legislature that punishe those who do possess firearms (primarily farmers in Rural areas) and does nothing to stop the flow of firearms from the US.
I realize the 4 mounties that were killed last month actually would have fallen under the registry act had it still been in place. Would it have made a difference? Possibly?
Regardless, the registy was scrapped at the tune of just over $2 Billion due to the fact it is difficult to maintain a database of firearms that will never be used on other human beings.
Canada is (for the most part) not interested in joining the 'missle defence' program and as a result the lowlife ambassador and arrogant puppet called the 'president' have decided to ban beef and lumber in an attempt to UNDERMINE Canadian sovereignty.
