Now that the registry is gone, firearms, ammunition, and hunting equipment sales have greatly increased right across the country (Except Quebec) and the sales taxes on these items are flowing into the government coffers. Prior to the misguided Liberal Firearms Act., Hunting and shooting sports added hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy. A LARGE majority of that was lost, it's now starting to rise again. The economic impact in getting rid of at least a portion of this liberal farce goes far beyond what is currently being saved by it's demise. Now, converting the PAL back to the FAC will save millions more by removing 'default' the criminal status of anyone that peacefully owns a firearm, thereby bringing even more people into and 'back' into the Canadian heritage of hunting.
