I said this earlier and someone else mentioned it as well, since it's the "intel" forum - some sort of "Top Secret" stamp motif would be better suited.
In Canada, they have introduced new controls where you obtain a special license that allows you to buy ammunition which I think is a good idea - but I think the government having too much info about the owners can lead to trouble. For example, if the police are called to a domestic dispute and they look up that one of the people have a gun - and they going to come with guns drawn?
I think the license is good - but we got to do more keeping illegal guns off the streets - that will make a bigger difference.

I just plain don't trust the Canadian government to know that kind of information, remember the big brother scandel, ug!
While I agree that this forum has been twisted a bit by "liberal gun grabbers" I don't think a flame was nessisary... Besides there is a voting forum for thiss issue making this preticular topic a mute point.
