gun registry questoin

[DEER_SLAYER]

i heard that the registration for long rifle was put on hold and that if u buy or sell a rifle you dont have to transfer registration just wondering if this is true?

False.
There is a amnesty from prosecution for being in possesion of a un registered non-restricted firearm. That's all.
You wont be charged but said firearm can(and most likely) be seized until such time as the registration is completed.
You still need a valid Firearms Licence(specific to class) to be in possession of any firearm.

Any idea when we will not have to register these rifles?

Don't count on it. While I'm Tory to the bone, a politician is still a politician - and precious few ever keep their word, especially when it involves surrendering even the slightest bit of control over the population.

As much as I prefer Harper to any alternative, don't forget this is the same guy who promised to not tax income trusts - and broke his word before the echo died away.

If I was betting, I'd lay my money on the registry being here to stay...until some Liberal or ND comes along and confiscates them during some future administration.
