>>1436002My grandad had over 30 rifles and two pistols. He had a lee enfield and a bunch of plain and exotic rifles. Some were heirloom quality and others belonged in a museum. Many others were good hunting rifles. Lever guns, a modern semi-auto 30-06, hell he even had a muzzle loading caplock. I used to help him oil and clean them and maintain them. Needless to say he was an avid hunter.
Then Canada brought in the long gun registry. Threats to gun owners were made. Gramps gave them all away to a gun store as he was elderly and frightened. He even gave away my .22. ive spent the last 30 years lamenting the loss as he would have left most of them to me if they had stayed his. I was the only one in the family interested. Then a few years later the government scrapped the whole registry. Fuck.
