Canada has a gun registry. All the honest people I know registered their firearms. Estimates from the RCMP state that 1 in 4 households have a firearm. They also estimate that there are 16,000,000 rifles in Canada.

"FOR THE 548 MURDERS IN 2003, STATISTICS CANADA REPORTS SHOW:

71% of murders were committed with something other than a gun.
29% of the 548 murders were committed with a firearm (6% of the guns used were registered, 26% were unregistered and the government didn't know the registration status of the other 68%). Makes a sane person ask: "What good is the gun registry?"
68% of the 161 firearms homicides were committed with handguns (that the government has been registering since 1934).
Between 1997 and 2003, the registration status was known for 46% of firearm-related homicides. Of these, 86% were not registered and 80% of the accused persons did not possess a valid FAC or Firearms Licence. Why? Because 69% of murderers were already known criminals including five that had previously been convicted for homicide. Why were these murderers back on the street? "
