(The Québec Court of Appeal's recent gun registry decision, Canada (Procureur général) c. Québec (Procureur général), 2013 QCCA 1138, which I summarized here, is a fine example of that sort of rhetoric.)
The federal government has already destroyed the data on 5.6 million rifles and shotguns registered in other provinces following its decision last year to scrap the controversial and costly long - gunregistry.
