We certainly don't see the kind of mass shootings that we see in the US. So it works
Mass shootings no, but we see lots of gang shootings.
Did you know that Miami has less gang affiliated murders than Toronto, despite being similar in size

Pick a similar sized city as Toronto which would be Chicago which is considered a sister city.
Chicago has 5 times the number of shootings than Toronto.

You really think the guns gangs use are legally obtained, and would have been stopped by doing mental health checks?? :D

A lot of illegal weapons start off as legal weapons. Tracking will help reduce those numbers.
We also do know there are far more non-gang related mass shootings in the US and those are predominantly conducted using legal weapons.

Do you see the Canadian requirement to register all restricted and prohibited firearms as a problem?
Yes.

It clearly hasn't prevented any criminals from getting their hands on pistols. At best, it's a shallow, feel-good piece of legislation. At worst, it will serve as the framework for future reclassification, prohibition and confiscation.

LOL, I keep seeing this, as if it's a strong argument or something.

All criminals start out as law abiding citizens, but I bet you don't like the idea of tracking people before they've actually committed a crime.

No we don't. Do a deep dive into any of those "mass shooting" statistics and you'll see the majority are criminals with illegal guns. They're just don't lead the news cycle and they don't spend weeks obsessing over why a bunch of criminals shot a bunch of other criminals.

You'd think a claim like that could be proven with statistics, or something....

BTW, thanks for inadverently admitting it has nothing to do safety, but political spite.
Nothing to do with political spite.
But since you have been so wrong and illogical in your posts, anything that you hate is automatically logically sound.

We do track people. All of our IDs, addresses, phone numbers, bank account info etc are with the government.
