Minister @marcomendicino was referring the commercial sales ledgers that were in force from 1977 to 2012: Police went from store to store to consult ledgers to confirm identify of killer who had shot himself in face. The registry was passed in 1995 ... but in force as of 2003...
#GunLobby who accused gun control advocates of not knowing the law are unable to distinguish between long-gun-registry (all guns registered) and sales records (sales recorded by stores). The #Polytechnique shooter was identified through the sales ... ledger of store that sold him gun
The minister was referring to the commercial sales records that existed from 1977 to 2012 (until Harper eliminated them). That's how police were able to identify gunman in 1989. Great news that this important investigative tool is back in effect via ... #C71 and regs announced today
When police found gunman at #Polytechnique, they couldn't identify him as he shot himself in the face & carried no ID. They searched sales ledgers around #Montreal until they found the gun's serial no, and that's how they identified him. A useful... investigative tool, to be sure...
