ALL of the referenced material presented says otherwise. If you can provide
ANY material which proves your statement, and is referenced, then most of
the people in this forum (can.talk.guns) would like to see it.

The principle is: You may do whatever you please, as long as it does not
infringe on the rights or safety of others. C-68 goes way beyond that.
Firearms owners have been made to compromise too far, too often.

That statement is hypocritical, unless you are also willing to do the same
with automobiles, knives, cleaning products, gasoline, etc. All of those
things are used to kill or can kill more people than firearms do. Firearms
owners are among an elite group who can prove the fact that they are not
criminal, and are very trustworthy compared to the rest of the population,
by the fact that they must pass a number of checks in order to get their
FAC. I doubt that you could say the same, yet you are implying that firearms
owners cannot be trusted.

You are either ignorant of C-68, or you are ignoring it.
