EXCERPT: If the government were to ban them they would either have to “grandfather” current owners and allow them to keep the rifles or buy them out.

QUESTION: Which policy would have the best chance of improving public and police safety: (1) Banning legally owned guns owned by Canadians licensed by the RCMP and tracked every day on CPIC, or (2) Tracking the whereabouts of 443,043 convicted criminals prohibited from owning firearms by the courts? 

QUOTE: On November 24, 2004, Firearms Commissioner Bill Baker testified before the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights: “On the change of address, if someone is prohibited from having a firearm in the country they are no longer effectively covered by the Firearms Act.”
