"At the same time, there is strong support in Canada — at both a popular and a judicial level — for collateral consequences that are targeted to the crime,
including lifetime bans on the possession of firearms for many violent crimes or serious drug offenses."
"While it should be noted that support for the registry is weaker in rural areas and a bill currently before Parliament proposes its repeal, there is no serious opposition to the idea of banning guns from individuals convicted of violent offenses."
