I don't think any of this process is about saving firearms owners money; it's about wearing us down until we just give up. After unlocking the gun room, unlocking the ammo, placing the firearms, trigger locked, into boxes, I have to make sure I have my liscence, my ATT , and the registration certificates, after which I can head to the range, by a direct route. And how many times do you think I've gone through all that and forgotten either the magazines or the trigger lock keys or both.
The $10 thing was just an inducement to get guys into the system, where they now have you trapped. Now they can squeeze you like one of those katsup bottles until you have nothing left, and just give up.
I don't know about Ontario, but I meet many, many guys here who just didn't get involved with either the liscencing or registration thing, period. If 2 million of us had the same attitude, this whole system would have collapsed years ago.
