The federal gun registry was and is a debacle. It was implemented extremely poorly.

A friend of mine worked on the registry v2.0 or v3.0 -- multiple revisions before it even became operational. Under the terms of the law, they need a computer network that is secure, nation-wide, and independant of every other network, and present in every police office. This is expensive, difficult and error-prone.

As an aside, the program seems to have run out of funding. Under the current minority government, it probably won't be getting more.

I remember reading vaguely that Canada has more guns per capita than the USA.

I find your comment about 'lots of wilderness' funny. =)
