Thats nothing. There was a guy in Alberta whose firearm liscence expired (he neglected to renew it) so at 4 in the morning, the police tactical team came in right after the smoke grenades went through the living room window. He was a liscenced owner for the prohibited class of firearms, but immediately became a criminal, and treated as such, the moment that liscence expired.
Our firearms laws are a convoluted series of patchwork based on media perception and political whims, rather than real threat. Far easier to sieze the collectors "arsenal" than to actually attempt to fight real crime, and it looks better in the newpaper too.
