So. We are paranoid to worry about them confiscating our guns, are we?

That doesn't match the evidence around here - "normally law-abiding people" do not buy, sell, or trade firearms illegally despite the expense of becoming and remaining licensed to do so legally in Canada.

"The evidence around here" 
Why would you depend on "the evidence around here" when you are in Canada? 

Please don't take that as disrespect to Canada, but as you know, Americans and Canadians - despite many similarities - are markedly different cultures. And none more so than on a subject like this. Perhaps Northeastern states of the US are closer to your POV. Which might give you a false impression. 

I won't presume to speak for other parts of the country, but rest assured, Texans like myself will NOT stand for this sort of thing. Note also that Gov Perry is actively promoting Texas as a place for Gun Manufacturers to move to since many are moving out of states that are enacting these restrictive laws. 

And Virginia and West Virginia are busy wooing Beretta since they're moving out of Maryland. 

Other gun manufacturers are refusing to sell guns anymore to law enforcement in those areas. 

There are at least 44 gun manufacturers that now refuse to do business with police agencies in anti-second amendment states. This is definitely a growing trend. 

As for gun control laws being difficult to enforce, I'm certainly not alone in that opinion. Apparently some in law enforcement won't even bother trying.
