 I am having a little trouble with your use of the word 
 "potential"....does it mean the same as "guilty until proven 
 innocent?"

 15, 000 out of 2 million people were denied. Seems to me that it 
 penalizes a lot more honest people than catch the illegal ones that 
 would never register anyway. It was a very, very bad move....what I 
 wanted and could not find Penny was which province had the most 
 registered people/groups????After all, Alberta is mainly a farming 
 province so there are any number of farmers that have weapons...can 
 you see where I am going with this train of thought?
