I would just like to add that there is no comprehensive public safety measure, or any measure for that matter, which has unanimous support. Just because a minority is opposed to it does not mean we should not go ahead or retain a system like gun registration. As I see it, opposition to the registry is ideologically motivated. I think the facts, the experts, the numbers and the comments of police officers everywhere all support maintaining the registry. If there is opposition, it is mainly ideologically motivated. Police officers may also share that ideology and be opposed to the registry for the same reasons.
