As most Canadians, I don't fear government confiscating my firearms. Under our parliamentary system, when they cross the line into unwarranted authoritarianism we always throw them out, as we did the registry and government with it.
You may not fear it. Most Canadian's may not fear it (as they don't own firearms). But most firearms owners do fear it. Why? Two reasons.
First our sham Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which has allowed our Supreme Court, nine appointed people, to overrule our elected Parliament, says nothing about property rights. That wasn't an oversight, it was deliberate.
Second, the RCMP, the organization that decides what is prohibited and what is restricted, has numerous times, arbitrarily and with no public consultation, ruled previously legal firearms to be prohibited. And those who bought and owned perfectly legal guns, then had to turn them in. No compensation.
