In the 80 years of handgun registration in Canada, there hasn't been public push-back or agitation from our fraternity to pack in public places. Reversal of long-gun registration that turned citizens into criminals was won by a carefully measured appeal to common sense. What remains is shaking out the peculiar anomalies canvasback related above and replacing them with improvements. Militating against it is dying-off of an increasingly older population who wants it and sharply decreasing interest in the shooting sports. Hope rests on a sense of fairness that a majority of citizens provided for the long-gun registration reversal.
