Proposal for Canadian gun laws
Posted by David Hardy · 27 May 2008 09:27 AM
Letter here. Interesting, since if the letter is correct, present Canadian law (1) does not require marking of a gun with its importer (US law since 1968, I believe) and (2) its definition of firearm only includes a complete and operable gun, not any one part such as the receiver (which has been US law since 1938, I think).

I thought pretty much all guns have serial numbers and that the Canadians have a gun registry. Surely the importers must report the guns to the registry upon import. So what's the point of having the importer stamp the gun? How does that give the Canadians any extra or faster info over just the serial number? Is this just a little defacing of firearms for petty revenge against bad people who would dare to bring a gun into the country?
