I was just taking a peek over on Gunnutz, and you should just look and see all the SOLD! guns there. Lots of stuff selling like hot cakes today. I'm almost positive non of them are now prohib status.

Yes, I expect a lot of people changed their minds about selling and want to hang on to them now too.

It'll only cost you if you're stupid enough to hand in your guns. Won't most be grandfathered??

Sit on them and wait until someone with a brain enters office and gets all this undone.

It looks like these imbeciles don’t know the difference between the actual gun and the website, they banned the websites?

So I read one report where they ban sawed off shotguns. So if you made your own defender for bear protection you are screwed. I bet next they will go after the manufactured defender shotguns. Just wait and see

I went into the Calgary Shooting Centre this morning after reading the bad news and I felt so empathetic towards them. James was packing away the now-prohibited AR-15s of all descriptions. The staff were hectic and the phone was ringing absolutely relentlessly; it was on constant mode with only the occasional rhythm blip. I had the thought and asked if they could split an AR-15 and sell me the upper so as to save them some losses but James noted that uppers are also now prohibited, which I was not yet aware of or would not have brought up. Damn shame what will happen to those Daniel Defense's and others.

Couldn't make a restricted purchase of something not even on the ban list as the CFC site was intentionally shut down for the day.

I became quite upset when I stopped to consider how many gun store staff will soon be unemployed, not just at CSC but at any gun manufacturer, gunsmith, the customizing shops like Black Box Customs, ranges, etc. People may be burning through less ammo when they can't take certain firearms to the range so that will affect retailers that can survive the initial storm. Those people were fired by the Liberals and by the Governor General.

RDSC will most likely close down.

i would bet 90% of their income is through selling AR's and AR parts.

Damn, guess I'll have to cancel that 105 mm howitzer I ordered from Amazon.

That is going to effect Law Enforcement who use the range and their services.

Just wanted to share what you’re referring to so that you don’t get raked over the coals for making something up.
This screenshot is straight from :

http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/20...cMH36A#wb-cont

Best to read the document for yourselves rather than any Facebook posts etc haha. I believe the link I used is already posted here.

I am certain the morons who made the list saw/figured out that the mini 14 is a 5.56/.223 (same as an AR-15) but the SKS is a 7.62.

Funny thing is the Mini 30 is pretty much identical to the mini14 but it's also a 7.62 .......... and ironically, was not on the banned list.

Completely ignorant morons - nonsensical BS on that list.

Anti-Tank guns? grenade launchers? unbvbl

The AR15.Com firearm is actually listed in the Firearms Reference Table.

But the locksmith they included on the list has nothing to do with firearms. I wonder if being on the list will help or hurt his business.

But it does make me wonder who the clowns were that drafted up this list.

If I was guessing he probably did an AR15 build from a 80% receiver and went through the proper procedure to have it verified and issued it's own FRT number. There are literally dozens of FRT records from single builds. Maybe he used his business name to register the build. Fairly sure the list would have been fact checked against known FRT records. If it is not in the FRT it has never been imported or attempted to be imported into Canada.

I didn’t see the Norinco m305 on that list either. Or ATR’s modern hunter.

I don’t own any of these types guns and didn’t really expect to. But this piece of virtue signalling has me angry. For the 1000th time on here, it only takes from honest, well-vetted citizens and does nothing to make an impact on the real source and causes of gangster gun homicides or domestic violence. Eliminate those two firearm death categories and there’s virtually nothing left on the spreadsheet.

I’m sure a lot of otherwise honest people will quietly be stashing some of the listed non-restricteds away.

The Norincid are under part 89 and besides the idiotic AR15.com I also noticed the RPA Quadlock?!😡
What the blazes in THAT doing on the list?!

Default Indigenous exemption for current gun ban

Can some please clarify whether there are indigenous exemptions applied to the current proposed gun bans? I have seen some vague reference to exemptions for subsistence hunting, but not sure what all this means. Are these types of exemptions just another loop hole which will facilitate more illegal gun smuggling from the USA?
Thanks Wapiti11!

Damn... I bought my very first AR last month-month and a half ago. $1500 hundred bucks and I was happy as a lark. Was waiting for the nice weather to take it to the range. Had I known I was throwing away that money anyway,I would have bought a nice pistol I had my eye on.
Oh well, it's only money. Thankfully the government is looking out for my best interests. I clearly wouldn't survive without them..Time to expedite my treaty card application. Somewhere in my lineage is a mohawk bloodline waiting to exercise his right to hunt sustenance with his traditional AR variant. Thanks government for looking after us soon to be First Nations card holders.....Lol

Might as well include all your handguns because if municipalities take care of hand gun bans then that means CENTRAL STORAGE, to take care of STRINGENT STORAGE per Turdo, and most likely at your expense with typical governs working hours.

Time to hold your MP and Premiers to account!
If nothing is said from them, why do we vote if one uneducated privileged puke and his bum buddy decide and the rest of the cattle follow.
The best is yet to come!!
