I spoke to a friend who saw the inside of a gunsafe at his 83 year old uncle’s house. Two Heym drills, one Rigby, and three Holland and Hollands (drills and side by sides). The H&H’s are still in the original velvet cases with tools, etc. They are all big African calibers like 540 nitro, 416 Rigby. One of the H&h’s ( 1920s man. Date) alone is appraised at $263,000 USD !!!!!! What is this guy able to do legally with these if the proposed changes go through ? This stuff is priceless art.
Since i am not impacted with this newest proposal......... do not really know the law if it can still be sold!Quote:

Pretty much agree, I know back in the day, the auction houses on Queen Street in Toronto like Waddington's could sell these types of rifles all day long. Most of the big bore buyers were from places like Germany and bid's done online or over the phone. Prices fetched were always high and guns used for safari's I would imagine there would also be South African Buyers.Quote:

And therein lies the problem with the current bill as written. These rifles have only one purpose - hunting big and dangerous game. And you can be sure that is all they would every by used for. Yet, legal today, banned tomorrow. I'm sure this guy isn't the only one with guns of this value.Quote:

Not vacillating,putting limits and roadblocks ,then waiting for the value of the legally purchased item to lose much of its value-then cough up some money few years "after" the law is made.
The legal owner should be able to sell to the same Governement -again ,for fair price(see above)all impacted AMMO for the "confiscated"item,with ALL acessories, which were legally bought to be used"exclusively "for the item.
Then-maybe then-they would think twice to expand the inventory of banned items.
Wait-maybe i am dreaming.
The feathers of the usual group were ruffled. When he posted on Instagram, it was as a private citizen. He wasn't wearing his uniform, or being interviewed during a game. Plus, being an aboriginal definitely stirs the pot. I see that the Montreal hockey club quickly went into damage control, making a donation and issuing an apology for Price's comments. And, since Price isn't playing and winning games for the team, the Montreal media has turned on him too.Quote:

When the Montreal Gazette reporter can tell the difference between a shotgun and a rifle maybe we can take the article seriously.Quote:

Lol you got me cracking up Gilroy
Heck even a Liberal like me can tell the difference, but even at that it was black and scary. LOLQuote:
