To address the part of your question that I believe I understood, Ma'am, these very brave ladies to my right provided some statistical information that included the years 1991 to 2001. The FAC system, which was the previous system for screening potential gun owners, was in place until it was replaced by legislation associated with this long-gun registry and replaced with the current firearms licence, possession, and acquisition licence.
Statistically, I believe the numbers are sort of melded together. However, currently I'm aware of 1.7 million registered gun owners in Canada. The current system recently had 500 refusals--that's people who applied for firearms and were refused a licence--and 1,500 revocations. I believe most of those resulted from spousal incidents.
