I don't have a strong opinion. All other guns are registered (ie handguns). All gun owners are licensed. Many types of guns are restricted or prohibited. There is no concealed carry for self-defence. I'm not any type of expert, so I stand to be corrected on those details.
Against that backdrop, I do think guns should be registered, but that rifles and shotguns probably aren't the biggest issue we have here. I think that the long gun registry was badly implemented, and cost too much. But the police (including the RCMP) did support it. Cancelling the long gun registry ended up being purely a political decision, IMO.
