There are extremely scary parts of this bill that few here or on CGN are talking about.

There are several references to the privacy act, the freedom of information act and the end of the long gun registry act.

In a nut shell, RCMP again have access to the existing gun registry as does the Province of Quebec. They can at will and without warrant access this private information and in theory hold you responsible for a firearm you had registered years ago. At best it is a starting data base for the new registry.

I know, I know, you are just going to say you sold it when the RCMP knock on the door and explain how a gun you once had was used in a crime. However, if they are convinced you sold it to a criminal or mentally deranged person your license may be suspended pending further investigation. IT IS CLEARLY STATED THAT CONFISCATED FIREARMS NOW IMMEDIATELY BECOME PROPERTY OF THE CROWN so you better have your lawyer ready and your cheque book open.

Because the privacy act does not apply to many parts of this new legislation, the records kept by store owners can also be accessed without warrant. In spite of what Goodale says, there is no mention of a court order being mandatory to accessing this private information.

The RCMP have been given authorization to create law under this new legislation. We elect politicians to create law and we employ the RCMP to enforce law. Empowering the police to create law is the beginning of a police state. Empowering the police to create law, giving them immunity over the privacy act and giving them the ability to confiscate private property is the definition of Police State.

Back door registry? There is more potential for abuse of power in this legislation than the registry backers could have imagined.
