Ironic thing is, the gun that was used in that shooting was registered, as Quebec already had a form of firearms registration in place. The reason for getting rid of the current firearms registration is for the simple fact that something like 98% of firearms used in crimes in Canada are not registered. And I highly doubt just because their weapon is registered is going to stop those other 2%.
To Tony in Mass., you are confusing RESTRICTED and PROHIBITED. Restricted guns (handguns and certain long guns) are still allowed with the proper licenses, but cannot leave the property without a transportation permit or if they are sold. Prohibited guns are not allowed under any circumstances WHATSOEVER. You can't buy em, you can't own em, you can't sell em. Prohibited include fully automatics and certain weapons that have no use in civilian life. This ban on prohibited weapons pre-dates the current firearms registration. There is a grandfather clause but since the legislation on these firearms was brought into effect in the 1930s I believe, there would be no one left with a prohibited weapon (when the owner passed away the weapon had to be destroyed).
And as others have said, firearms laws in Canada have absolutely nothing to do with the UN.
