Not much need to worry about amendments at this point, none of the Conservative recommendations for amendments were passed, not one. They will probably reconvene on Wed, to finish up this farce. They haven't passed anything the Libs presented, to make it any worse than it is---yet. It strikes me as some items the Libs have presented may be brought up after C71, in which case, things like background check criteria expansion may be included in a different bill, down the road. Basically the CZ/SA owners are screwed if they don't register them before June 30th. After that, they will not be grandfathered even if C71 comes into effect, is the way they are talking. It will have to be registered by then, in order to be grandfathered, period. The discussion about criteria for the background checks is open to interpretation, there are reps from the RCMP and DOJ present as witnesses to explain some of it to the MP'S on the committee. There are some interesting discussions here.
