Game on over the gun registry…

How wonderful for Quebec! They want the data for free because if they imposed similar barriers to the freedoms of their own citizens, “it would cost them a fortune”.
If they find value in it, let them offer value for it.
But this is data which should not be sold at any price, and the Feds are right to destroy it.
