That's great - sad to say, for the collector the introduction of new gun control laws can be a great time. I started collecting right around the time the former long gun registry came into force up here. I remember walking into SIR (now taken over by Cabelas) and finding the racks full of all sorts of great old military rifles for under $200. I just wish I'd had a real job back then! Now I basically run the used guns in the Winnipeg store we rarely get anything that interests me. Lots of Remington 770s though...
Interestingly we're just starting to feel the squeeze of the panic buying up here. When there's that much buying going on in the US, Canada is always at the bottom of the list to receive stock. Small rifle primers are already getting scarce, and I suspect it's about to get a whole lot worse.
