Canada parts

[wterrell]

Gentlemen,

This post has two questions:

1. When the Canadian government declares that all handguns, not previously registered, must have the frame destroyed, why did the Canadians surrender the pistols? Why lay down to the government? What makes people comply with outrageous laws?
My question is sincere and not rhetorical. I do not understand the compliance to these laws. These pistols cannot be 'undestroyed' if the subjects should later decide that this was a bad law.

2. Should we be concerned with the Canadian restrictions on handguns forcing the salvaging of Luger parts?

It seems that the abundance of replacement parts will compromise the integrity of collectible Lugers. Authentication will be much more difficult. Shooters will become 'all matching'.

Too bad that we do not have a database containing a list is known matching Lugers and known boosted and faked pistols.
