semi auto firearms

[pgavey]

Just on CBC the idiot who shot the Mounties in NB has told the RCMP how to convert semi auto firearms to full auto. Wow it did not take long eh?
You can be sure they have a plan for our semi's

[Lefty-Canuck]

So as to not anger firearm owners by sticking to no new registry....the Liberals will move to all out bans instead.

Yup I could see the libs going after the semi's. Get ready to dig our heels in.

Yep there's trouble brewing the timing of this "discovery" is very suspicious

Ignorance is the enemy of gun control activists.

A Fully Auto is exactly the weapon you want to give a terrorist - he will end up with and empty magazine and 17 holes in the ceiling in 2 1/2 seconds and nobody will get shot.

The surprised look on his face will be followed by promptly being tackled to the ground by the unscathed victims.

Funny they only gave half the story with Bourque...
Reports have it that the cops he went after had killed his buddy and they got off on the charges. That's what set him off.
Funny the media never said much after what his motives were.
Not saying he's right...

The writing is on the wall folks. I don't know how this is even news other than a story to tell us of things to come. The killer mentioned what could (maybe) have been done to his rifle to make it fire on auto vs semi-auto. He didn't carry out the modification, if it were possible without machining tools, The rifle is a Springfield M1 Garand knock off. A WW2 rifle. It is already illegal to modify any firearm to make it fire on full auto. So what is really the story other than to get us ready for confiscating our semi-auto rifles and shotguns. Your Ruger 10-22 will become a prohibited weapon as will your Browning A5 duck gun.

We all need to stick together and say "No" to more stupid gun laws.

That will never happen, as even some AO members have posted their approval for the asinine firearms laws. These people do more damage to our cause than the people that admit to being anti firearms.

We are in big trouble and my speculation is WW3 IS on the horizon. With Trudeau at the helm we have no hope of skirting it.

First bring in a bunch of leeches to totally thrash the economy more so, then get infiltrated by significant amounts of terrorists. Attacks begin on a regular basis. Take away our guns so we cannot even consider defending ourselves if some form of mobilization happens. Cancel much needed growth of the military. Have zero ability to defend our own borders. Rely on the states for help. Either way we will be infiltrated by another countries military, wether it be Russia or USA. If we give the north over to the Russians we have lost and it's only a matter of time..... Somebody better tell Trudeau you don't were boxing gloves to a street fight.



It's not as far fetch as some will say.

Anyone with military training knows this but the media and steeple learned everything they know about firearms from hollywood.

There are reports that the Mini 14 used in Montreal by MLP was bubba modified to fire full auto, but malfunctioned after every shot and required manual cycling.

The gun was naturally examined thoroughly by the RCMP firearms crime lab, but the report has never been released and remains confidential. There is speculation that it may fall under a 25 yr rule and soon be available under FOI, I hope Dennis Young is working on this.

This does raise uncomfortable questions about why the rampage was allowed to go on so long without the shooter being rushed by some or all of the victims or those previously separated. We can speculate that none of those involved had sufficient firearms knowledge, training or experience to recognize the firearm's condition and the opportunities that it presented for self action while the police waited around outside for the shooting to stop. As always, "when seconds count, the police are just minutes away".

Most of us know that (in addition to have been illegal for ~80 years) a semi bubba'd to slam fire full auto is unreliable and unpredictable and often outright uncontrollable in addition to being inaccurate to the point of ineffectiveness for anything other than noise and fear. We understand why many current military (and police) assault weapons have selective burst fire rather than full auto.

Only in Hollywood can Arnold, Chuck or Rambo fire accurate or effective full auto with a single hand hold, even an Uzi is problematic as the Arizona firearms 'instructor' discovered.

This issue has all the earmarks of intentional disinformation and being part of a well planned exercise in Hegelian dialectic, (created problem, > reaction, > desired solution).

Good Luck to us all, YMMV.

I had two military semi auto's firearms that were converted easily to automatics. I bought them they were restricted. Few years later they were prohibited, then I sold em and lost my 12.6. or is it a 12.5? Don't remember but I got neither now. Army guy bought them.
