Firearms Legislation
 

Well I can't wait to see what common sense is going to come out of this illustrious government.

https://www.hilltimes.com/2018/03/12...rns-put/137000

I wouldn't count on any common sense being used to draft new regulations. The new regulations will be no more than an attempt to appease some people's emotions.

Lots of Questions
 

I have alot of questions. Does this mean a semi auto nor handgun ban? Does this mean a return of the gun registry? Does it mean a gun system like the UK or Austrialia? This could mean many different things, sounds like none of them are good.

Hard to say.

Will be interesting to see what changes there are, and how they plan to implement the changes.

The fact that some of the MPs don't agree , gives me the impression that it may involves some extreme changes.

Exactly, like 99% of our governments Prov/Fed useless decisions!

Amazing what politicians will do to get votes!! Such FLAKES!!

That has me quite concerned as well.

Yep.

Buy or sell?

Some funny reading on the subject. Or is it. More pathetic than funny.

Its a Ruger Precision Rimfire. :rolleye2:

I wish we had a 2nd Amendment
 

I wish we had something like the american 2nd Amendment. I hate having to fear for my favorite hobby every time there is a change of government. It makes being a firearms owner difficult. There are alot of firearms I would own if I wasnt fearful of changes in legislation.

I just wish we had some base line that we could count on and know that things beyond a certain point wouldnt change.

Lol. Always buy. After the last go around I don't think people are going to be as complacent this time. I don't think the feds got the balls to come into anyone's home to çonfiscate a firearm just because someone owns one.

I can see the sales of cosmoline going up shortly after the liberals make some poor decisions

From what Goodale has said I fear a return of the registry and somethink like England where you can have a handgun..if you are a target shooter and the firearm is stored at your range.
I would imagine that many MP's are against this strictly on the stupid expense of the last registry...that did absolutely nothing to curb gun violence.
Even voters who aren't pro gun don't want to waste tax money on something that is meaningless.

I had to Google cosmoline but seeing the search results I would agree with you.

Long Guns too?
 

Dont you have to store your long guns at the range as well and sign them out with a specific time to return? I am also curious if the new legislation has limits on how much ammo and or gun powder reloaders can have.
times to be a firearms owner.

Just like last time. As long as it’s not me and my guns I don’t care if they take those guns away from those people.
Well I hope “Me People” are ready cause they are about to give you what we got decades ago.

Nra
 

It will give the NRA something to point to in Canada as the slippery slope of encroaching gun bans.

If you have the proper licensing, and you can show that you do hunt you can have bolt action, single shot, martini action and lever actions as long as they are stored properly. At least that's what I read from their regs...I had a relative who was a hunter and considering moving there with his wife a couple years ago.

This BS has to end. It's not just an attack on our freedoms, it's an attack on a way of life. Simply banning something from law abiding citizens will not change a single thing with regards to gang activity or crime as a whole. You don't even have to be very bright to look at the data and come up with that conclusion.

You might want to brush-up on your UK gun laws, or at least be more specific instead of generalizing "handguns"...
"Handguns" (AKA small firearms) have been almost completely banned* since '97.
*Unless it has a 12" barrel, is .22 rimfire if semi-auto, and is longer than 24" overall and cannot be shortened by any means.
Even the British Olympic team has to train outside the UK... :rolleye2:
But I agree, it sounds like we're headed back to a Long-gun Registry.

This is the mentality of idiots today,let’s fix things that ain’t broke, why worry about the the real problems ie. opioid crisis? Knives kill more people than guns, let’s ban knives as well! We as society have to put our foot down and stop electing, useless, delusional, incompetent, halfwits! This whole thing is about people jumping on the band wagon, we don’t have leaders, we have mindless sheep, that are incapable of thinking for themselves, sure do miss the glory days of Ralph Klein:cry:

The way I look at it witch is probably crazy, let them ban every firearm in Canada for ten years, keep everyone’s turned-in firearms in-cases and stored properly, government sould pay me top dollar for my firearms and accessories for the opertunity to hold them and for reassurance they will return in the same condition after 5 years. I mean every firearm cops, military,security guards they all need to be confiscated.

I will hunt with a archery tackle those five years.

If that was implemented the amount of firearm violence in this country would explode with all the gangs and such morons that will always have firearms. The anti gun people will be begging for anyone to come to there rescue. Maybe we should come to the rescue survival of the fittest.

But if the antis got rid of firearms they would be board and start on something else probably bow and arrows and gasoline vehicles

I don’t know just a goofy idea I had what do you think?

I will be keeping my guns in my possession and no one else's. They can get stuffed if they think any different.

That’s exactly how I feel but we have to do something to prove to all the stupids of the world gun laws or lack of gun totally will end up not helping or being worse.

If you think that once firearms are banned, that they would ever be legalized again, you are dreaming. As far as the government compensating firearms owns with replacent cost if firearms are banned, good luck with that. They might be okay when some people turn in firearms worth a thousand dollars or less, but some of us have firearms/ammunition that total well into six figures. I don't see the government handing over six figures in compensation.

My concern - having central storage for restricted firearms. They will become worthless.

Very bad idea. It took 20 years to get rid of the long gun registry...and we knew with a couple of years of it's implementation that it wasn't going to work and was costing millions more than they thought.

It's tough because we've got gun owners that believe no one should own a ar. These guys pizz me off more than anyone. Shat for brains comes to mind. All it takes is for most of us to say no you're not taking my guns but people are afraid to stand up and would rather lay down and take it right up their keysters. I don't like spineless people.

Liberals can't help but be liberals; they just can't. That means that there is a complete lack of common sense- such as believing that taking away rights and freedoms from non-criminals will stop criminals from being criminals. It just doesn't work that way. In Europe, men are criminally charged for whistling at women under new misogyny laws, but not one person has been charged in over 5000 cases of female genital mutilation crimes. The liberals sweat the small stuff while massive injustices are ignored out of convenience. I hate to say it, but I don't know if the firearms community will stick together as a group in order to stop government over-reach. If the firearm's owner who has one bolt action rifle and a pump shotgun is willing to accept any new laws that don't affect him because he doesn't own any semi auto shotguns or any rimfires that are capable of holding more than 5 rounds, then firearms owners will lose all of their rights and freedoms and lose their property; it's just a matter of time.

This is exactly the problem. With so many issues.

People have no idea what individual freedoms are. They refuse to put in any effort to protect other peoples freedoms so long as what they are doing is not touched. This goes so much further than firearms.
