Default Then what?

Apparently The Minister of Nothing will only be doing a few round tables on the handgun ban, anti crime, whatever it is he is doing round tables on, and has yet to publish a schedule, but;

Here comes the new Lib platform, grandfathering and central storage.

No where in that article was any mention of grandfather or central storage... why are you starting fake news about fake news.

Think about it, how else will they get this done? You going to walk down there and turn it in if they pass a straight up ban? They have to grandfather them and take them out of the citizens hands bit by bit. Slowly phase out out RPAL's by non issuance. Central storage was mentioned by Goodale and crew already, they are looking at it. Nobody said it had to be practical.
Great campaign platform for them, they know they won't get gun owners votes.

Central storage is the stupidest idea on the planet.

I live in blackfalds, and have 2 ranges I belong to. Rocky and CDTSA in Calgary.

If I were going to take my AR15 to Calgary, but I had it stored in Rocky think about how far I would have to drive. Or vice versa.

Not to mention the expensive storage and security system. Or the fact that criminals will target ranges as there will be a gold mine there.

I wouldn't worry to much about C-71 or bans, when the PC get in they are just going to get rid of it all like they did last time.

Not stupid if your trying to inconvenience gun owners. They want to turn owning a restricted gun into an expensive financial and bureaucratic nuisance. Over time people will get tired of all the hoops they have to jump through, eventually legal gun owners will just give up buying and using them.

central storage ?

The Libs are banning guns not because restricted owners can't be trusted but because thieves will steal them. The plan is build storage at gun ranges and our range is 16 kms out of town with a few scattered farms around perfect location for a break in. The intension must be to gather all the guns for the gangs to plunder in one place.

This is exactly correct^^^the path forward is to bleed us dry. They may not inflict fullout bans if they think it will actually hurt their campaign, but will bring on rules and restrictions to make it such a complete waste of time for the average Joe to own a firearm. Once we lose our rights good luck getting them back. I could really care less about a long gun registry other than it’s a waste of money, it really didn’t effect us all that much. It’s the fact that they may move towards things like calibre restrictions like 7.62 or .223, possibly 9mm and .45. Seems like they’ve already achieved this once before
