Gun registries have proved extremely useful for burglars and genocidal war criminals...
To answer the poll question, many gun control advocates "own" guns, as the entire International Criminals Union supports "gun control" (making victims defenseless to keep criminals alive and prosperous). Why would a criminal choose to be as defenseless as his victims are legally required to be?

Only the long gun (rifles, shotguns, etc.) registry is gone. handguns and stuff still need to be registered and licensed, which I fully agree with.
The long gun registry was nothing but a money burning boondoggle and never would have made any difference to anything. Exactly how often do you hear about a murder or robbery involving a rifle?
Pitching the long gun registry out is the ONLY thing I agree with the Conservatives on.
The fuss is mainly with the destruction of the data. We paid for it, why is he destroying everything? If Canadians don't want to manage the registry, fine, we can do it ourself. Maybe the RCMP doesn't use it, but our own national police force is interested in keeping the data. We consider the gun registry as a useful tool and we want to keep using it.
Don't wonder why half the Quebec wants to get out. We always get forced decisions like that down our throat, and we need to sue the country for something that our own provincial government could easily manage. Give us the data and stop messing around.
A little story...
In Canada, we made the gun registry a decade ago (a real big mess that cost 5 times the initial price). But at least, it been completed. Now, Harper(our crazy PM) decided that he wanted to destroy the gun registry with all the data in it because he want to relax the gun controls laws. You know who protested the most against it? Yeah, our police services.
Why? Because it made their job easier.
I know policemans who were proud of saying that they never used their gun in their career (after 20-25 years of service).
If I pay high taxes, it's to be able to pay professionals who can handle guns in a responsible way to protect my ass.

Am I the only one who counted "restrict them from kids" as gun control? Even without laws against it I'd want to stop anyone who knowingly gave guns to children.
I don't know this for a fact, but I bet almost all gun owners would agree with restrictions on children. That is the the law now in the U.S. If you are a child you can go hunting with a grown-up but can't carry a gun. Having said that, I got my first real gun when I was 10 and took it to the woods all the time.

I know my answer is long and off-topic, but I wanted to explain clearly my position on your question. Even if you don't agree, I hope it helps you understand the socialists. 
Thanks. I opted to continue this conversation here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ancap-vs-socialism-98114 rather than derail this thread.

You're probably right, it was a cop/ex-cop.
So do I. A policeman who never has to fire his weapon is a very happy one indeed. (well, if he's a "good" cop)

That's interesting. Someone voted yes. I'd be very interested in hearing the story there.
Because it's a policeman.

In my years of selling weapons, I have yet to figure this out.
