They are breaking the law, yes but I see a bit of distinction here between
these people and common criminals. The criminal actively commits an illegal
act. These people retaining their firearms did not commit any act. They were
declared criminals without any action of their own.

Canadians Resisting Tough New Gun Law
By Colin Nickerson, The Boston Globe,
Published Wednesday, January 10, 2001, in the Miami Herald

"But even the (Canadian) federal government concedes that a minimum
of 400,000 of the country's estimated 2.2 million gun owners have
refused to comply -- a shocking figure in a society where respect
for the law is second nature. And the real tally of noncompliers
may be much higher: Gun groups count six million privately owned
rifles and shotguns in Canada, meaning that millions of citizens
may be defying the law."

If millions of citizens choosing to become criminals is not
a skyrocketing crime rate, I don't know what is.
