It has been the experience of gun owners in Great Britain, Canada and Australia that the anti gun forces move quickly when an opportunity presents itself. Once legislation is enacted it is VERY hard to make go away.
Gun control legislation got enacted in these countries because the gun owners were divided (military collectors, hand guns, old shotguns, modern hunters etc) and so had little lobbying impact, and most believed it wouldn't really happen.
The US is different. You have the 2cd Amendment and you have the NRA. But I know there are 100,000 members on the main Canadian forum, Gunnutz, who would advise you stay vigilant.
Once a right it lost, it is almost impossible for it to be regained. Canada has the situation now, despite our victory earlier in the year, where it is a felony to own a gun. Any gun!
Only by the issuance of a state authorized permit, good only for a 5 year term, to the individual makes it legal. And there is nothing to stop the next government, nothing at all, from refusing to issue new or renewal permits.
Because the antis will not give up and will not go away.
