And there are several examples where registration has not lead to
confiscation - for example the 2 in Canada (1934 hand gun registry; late
90's long-gun registry). So registration != confiscation.

Want to bet? I'd be willing to bet that, even back in 1934, there were
confiscations during and after the registration period that would not have
happened if the registration hadn't. As for the 1990s long gun registry,
it's normally considered one of the most expensive failures in the history
of attempted gun control. Not a real good example.

Those that pushed for registration of your guns were the same people that
believe you should not have them. Were they given the choice,
registration would be followed, immediately, by confiscation. That didn't
happen is not because they didn't want it but because saner minds
intervened. Why should anyone voluntarily register anything at the
request of those that see registration only as a means to facilitate
confiscation, and then pay for the right to do so. Use your head man.
It's a conspiracy, one of the most obvious and openly admitted
conspiracies there's ever been, and you're supporting it.

"In January 2006, the RCMP were asked to probe a Liberal Party consultant
over a $380,000 contract: Kim Doran was awarded to lobby the federal
government for funds for the ailing firearms registry At the time, Doran was
representing the Coalition for Gun Control. The group, which receives both
government and private funding, claims to represent anti-firearm groups and
municipalities. It is a strong supporter of the gun registry.'

"Tony Bernardo, director of the 12,000-member Canadian Shooting Sports
Association, opined that the gun registry program funds would be better used
for Canadian law and justice purposes. He said his Canadian organization,
should also 'get government funding for a consultant to lobby on behalf of
law abiding gun owners'. The group asked the RCMP to probe into the matter.
"Isn't it inappropriate for the Federal Government to hire a private
lobbyist with taxpayers' dollars to lobby itself?" the organization
complained to the RCMP. "Isn't it inappropriate for an employee of the
Liberal Party to profit from funds granted by the government of Canada?"
Doran is listed as Vice-President of Federal Affairs for the Liberals'
Ontario Women's Commission and is also the party's Deputy National Director
of Organization and Policy."
