Handguns being registered does not prevent them from being stolen. I'd like to throw this out there, According to the RCMP the registry data has been hacked 480 times, those are the ones they know about. With it being hacked maybe the registry is telling criminals where the guns are so they can be stolen. There is a good possibility the registry helps create crime. The RCMP are never going to admit finding evidence from a theft that the registry was used. That would kill their golden goose.
