That is fine you can do whatever you want......but my integrity cannot be bought. Plus the money will not make a difference - I already have my name on Tavor waiting list.Quote:

I expect they will move to have all the non restricted banned guns registered so they'll know where and how many there are. I'm sure there are a pile Ruger Mini's out there. Blows me away that they'll let you keep these banned guns if you promise not to use them. Shows how completely ridiculous this entire dog and pony has become.!!
I hope your right and he does get turfed but I'm afraid he'll be calling an election as soon as covid is resolved while all the CERB money he handed out is still fresh in the voter's minds.Quote:

If you do not agree on the value you can always say no and keep it as a collector. If this was not allowed there would have been a mandatory confiscation of all the guns on their list. The point is my property is NOT for sale. You can restrict my usage but you cannot have it - hell I'd turn it into a deact before I hand it in to the Government. I'm on the Tavor waiting list $2,650 - non restricted. The price of shooting just went up boys.Quote:

I don’t think the OIC list is done. I suspect there are several models being looked at right now, including the Tavor. All it will take is a shooting in the news.Quote:
