Other way around. They know OP has this because it's restricted.

It sounds like OP is arguing they know either way. Presumably they’re talking about the “backdoor” registry that came about a few years ago requiring mandatory records from retailers and PAL verifications (through RCMP) for private sales.

There is no "backdoor registry" for private sales, verifying a PAL doesn't require you to complete the sale. All the info the Horse gets is that your PAL was verified and you purchased somewhere between 0 and infinite firearms

Ya the backdoor comment applied more to the retailer records. Between the abolishment of the long gun registry and the new rules circa 2022 there were no formal requirements for record keeping by retailers, but now there are tighter rules and a 20 year minimum retention period for those records.
