It has little to do with the US. It's all about the police' never-ending desire for control and authority.
The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police also lobbied extremely hard against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms back in the day, predicting streets running red with blood and complete inability on their part to do anything about it if it ever came to pass. Reality has proven to be much different.
The CACP is nothing but yet another lobby group looking for it's own benefit, accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of "gifts" from the prime contractor of the long gun registry to lobby Government to keep said registry, all disguised in unprovable "public safety" emotional arguments.
