Police Minister Stuart Nash blamed the government’s inability to enforce its buyback scheme on a lack of gun registration. “The problem is we just don’t know exactly how many guns are out in the community, this is why we need a register, to enable Police to better track firearms,”

Which is why you should NEVER register your guns.
100% CORRECT. = The ONLY reason that the government wants guns registered is to have a easy method to CONTROL peaceful CITIZENS’ behavior & to confiscate the guns, should that ever become politically possible.
The LEFTIST LOONS will NEVER go after the firearms in the hands of the CRIMINAL ELEMENT, as they (with reason) fear the violent gangs/drug cartels/career criminals. = Disarming the criminal underground would get government agents injured in that attempt AND such an attempt would ANGER parts of the “leftist political coalition”.

What guns, did someone say guns?
Or on other words, he let the cat out of the bag. Gun registration is solely for the purpose of eliminating them. Step one do it softly with a buy back program. Step two confiscate by force.
It will be interesting to see how Virginia turns out over the next few months.
In the US it’s called Form 4470. To now it’s been mostly an unrealized ‘resource’ by our govt. re registration. When an FFL ceases business all accumulated 4470s are supposed to be given to the ATF. Sometimes that happens but not always....for various reasons. If the ATF winds up in possession of the businesses 4470s you can bet they make a list. Barring that the best they can do is visit the business under the guise of compliance checking and copy 4470s. However wholesale copying is forbidden. During the Clinton years they did this targeting buyers of so called assault weapons. All of that info goes into The List. In the end though what’s been compiled is only very rough and subject to the incompetence of the the ATF which is legend. (They can’t ever rightly keep a good list of highly regulated Class 3 et al weapons.)
That said the other resource is NICS. However all transactions are supposed to be purged after a short period. In light of current behaviors (or rather misbehaviors) of the FBI it’s hard to imagine they’re in compliance. I suspect a proper investigation would reveal a registry based on NICS data. That leaves only the state data. I’m sure most have or aspire to have registry’s.
