I'm sorry, but this is whackjob nonsense and doesn't reflect what's happening here at all. In the last year we have just ELIMINATED the long gun registry... restrictions are exactly the same as before, you just don't need to register a rifle or shotgun with a long barrel anymore.
I'm both relieved and disappointed at the same time. This car is practically bipolar.. when it's great, it's *great*... when it's bad, it's very bad indeed. Too bad there has been enough of the latter lately.. hopefully will clear up soon enough with a bit (more) attention.
