If you check the database with search terms like dewat, deactivated, or wallhanger, I think you will find a few have been registered as well. There are even a few flare pistols and smoke dischargers in there.
The registry is recorded as having a 75% error rate.

My letters have already gone out.
I know we have a few members on MLU who work at the Cdn Firearms Center.....What were your co-workers thinking when they released this data?

As a research tool, I find this databank fascinating. Serial numbers would have made it even more so. If they had left out things like the postal code and the ability to select business/individual, I think it would have been much less controversial.
