Downside to no long gun registry...

New design semi-automatics. Based off the AR180B.
You should get your facts straight before going off. The firearms program cost ~$2 Billion (or more, depending on how you calculate it and what you include) over a number of years and now costs on the order of $80 million per year to operate. This is all of the program, not just the LGR. It certainly does not cost $2 Billion per year. That is twice as much as is dumped into CBC every year.
Other than that, I agree with you. There is certainly no downside to the elimination of the LGR that I can see. It is an onerous, dangerous, very expensive white elephant of a program that deserves the death it will get.

I have one more issue concerning not just on the LGR , but on classification on all restricted long arms (non concealable firearms)...all non-concealable long firearms should not be class as restricted, base on the fact that it is only has a 5rds capacity mag and it is only a semiautomatic sporting rifle. To classified few types of (they so called black/red rifles) semi-long arms as a restricted... is just senseless as the LGR.
SO. If this senseless classification and the useless LGR can be garbage bin all together...the problems will be solve...really...we all knew that the restricted long arms are for political agenda instead of using logic.

All of C-68 was for a political agenda. None of it has anything to do with public safety. There should be no such thing as classifications of anything, a gun is a gun, period.

Ya, sure. just like operating an automobile, no class 1 or 2 or 5 should be necessary, automobile is a automobile. LOL
Unless we can passed a law for us to aloud to conceal or open carry. A sensible classification is a good idea, It should just class between pistols and rifles.

Should only be two classifications = hand held & non hand held...
Hand held = all small arms
Non-hand held = if you can't pick it up because it is to heavy or the recoil is to much for shooting from the shoulder
But what about barrel shrouds? You know, the barrel thing that goes up. It's not hand held and doesn't fit the non-hand held description.

Operator's license is not the same as a possession licence. As far as I know I can buy a dumptruck and park it in my backyard with no paperwork required.
You can drive a dump truck without a license and completely unregistered all you want on your private property.

Guns, and artillery?
There is no such thing as a sensible classification.
How is being trustworthy to own rifles different than being trustworthy to own handguns?
Since it was your idea, what should be different about handguns and rifles in terms of ownership or use?

No ####e!
You guys cringing about the demise of the gun registry know that we got along just fine for decades without it right?
I remember taking my semi-auto AK out in the bush to shoot puddles and rocks back in the day. We bought and sold all kinds of guns without there ever being a long-gun registry just fine.
I am sure we will be able to manage to find away to live without a gun registry again. Unless of course you just have to have a government jack-boot firmly on your throat in order to feel comfortable owning a gun?
Yep, $10 says this guy doesn't own a handgun. It is soooo easy to give away someone else's rights and freedoms though isn't it?
How can anyone justify with a straight face controlling handguns differently from any other kind of gun. A gun is a gun. Either you are OK to own one or you are not. All the rest of it is BS statist nonsense.
So how do you GUARANTEE that you will never be the victim of an ignorant cop? You can't. If he feels like screwing you over, you will get screwed over. You can always go to his supervisor, or the courts for redress after the fact, but at that moment you are out of luck regardless of what you think you have covered.

There is no defense against ignorance, save education.
The confusion with respect to classification of firearms comes from the fact that essentially 2 identical firearms can be One of them Prohibited and the other unrestricted, despite the fact that they may fire exactly the same ammunition and have essentially the same dimensions.
this problem is exacerbated by the fact that the regime of prohibiting by type has been essentially abandoned due to the lack of political will,
The one act that would bring clarity to the classification of firearms is to have them classified by their properties alone.
Dump the prohibited by type and variant BS.. it's confusing and useless
If a rifle has a barrel over 470mm it should be unrestricted regardless of what is looks like.
this way all police need is a tape measure to classify firearms on the scene.
