The author's of the 2nd Amendment were referring to the hight of modern technology when they framed it.
You're right, it is a sad fact.
Instead of addressing the issue of mental illness, they'll just go after the law abiding.
No, he, like most people have a problem with people smuggling restricted weapons into Canada, with no checks or balances, as to whether or not you're bright enough to posses it.
He was pretty clear, like he has always been on this issue, he doesn't like idea of a central registry that can be breached, thus leaving him and anyone else on it open to privacy violations.

It is rather upsetting that your grandchildren can do things on the computer that you didn't even know it could do.
As I explained, it was packed into my belonging by a friend.. smuggle into Canada unwittingly.
It's a hand gun and is locked up and away until it can be safely sent back..
Nevertheless, I would prefer more open gun ownership for hand guns and hunting rifles.. semi-auto should not be legal.
A hand gun is for self defense of your home, nothing else.. and only if the other person has a gun.. equal force.
Hunting rifles, well hunting and providing food.. I don't see a need for higher power firearms being in the hands of anyone but the law.
Also, anyone owning a firearm restricted or unrestricted should be schooled how to use it properly, like a automobile license. In Alberta, the Alberta Hunter Education Instructors Association does just that.
Once you pass a course, then a shooting range class, criminal background check.. you're clear to buy and own a firearm.
Baloney. We target-shoot with ours. On a rare occasion one of us may pop a skunk or coon that's being a nuisance, so I suppose that could be called defense.
Life's a beetch. I hunt almost entirely with my .303 L-E and have brought down critters from coyotes to moose with it. I target-shoot with the .338 Lapua. The .338 Lap was specially designed for military sniping as was a couple other calibers and is vastly more powerful than the .303. Why should I lose my .338 Savage because some pinhead goes nuts with an assault rifle?
I'd trust way more shooters than drivers at either activity.
The second amendment was to protect the rights of the people from the government. If and when the government rounds up the guns they will of course have done so to facilitate rounding up the people. There will always be murdering nuts and our world is filled to the brim with weapons. I can kill you with my breath.
Public has nothing to do with it. The only people allowed to look at the chart of any patient is the doctor or nurse in charge of said patient. Not even the patient is allowed to see their charts; charts do not belong to a patient and in order to get any sort of medical record at all the patient must agree to have it signed out beforehand and in some cases pay to get their records.
If you have a registry for mentally ill that is accessible to anyone outside of a hospital environment that is a breach of their confidentiality, just like it's a breach to state if someone has AIDS, Hep B or anything else right up to a hangnail.
He will make a few changes that are on the fringe of the problems, but he will be handcuffed and
walk into brickwalls each time he tries to do something constructive, because the NRA and their
government buddies and all gun enthusiasts will block everything, and if he tries to do anything
in the area of arming any learning institutions, he will be blocked by gun haters, the middle
ground is business as usual, do nothing.
