Once they get their hands on your guns, you ain't getting them back. Even if you are not guilty of anything
17 Subsection 115(1) of the Act is replaced by the following:
Forfeiture
115 (1) Unless a prohibition order against a person specifies otherwise, every thing the possession of which is prohibited by the order is forfeited to Her Majesty if, on the commencement of the order, the thing is in the person’s possession or has been seized and detained by, or surrendered to, a peace officer.
That applies only when you are under a prohibition order, e.g. if you are convicted of a violent crime and prohibited from owning guns.
It clarifies that if you are convicted of a crime, the Canadian taxpayer does not have to compensate you when your guns are taken away.

I foresee there will be little compliance ( ignored) in second hand/private sales market. There doesn't appear to be any requirement for you to keep records of the 'ref#' for a valid PAL, so as soon as you done your due diligence..next. Pretty hard for the RCMP to track your sales transactions when there are no records kept.Quote:

I guess they don't care if you have a valid PAL when buying ammo...no mention of making vendors like CT call for a ref# before they sell it to you...why they bother with that charade is beyond me.
Worthless piece of legislation in purpose or application...of course it will fail as it has no benchmark to achieve.
The seller has to call at the time of sale. I doubt the “prescribed time” will be very long. You will have to complete the sale fairly quickly.Quote:

Incidentally, was going through the press kit on this & the intent is not to keep any firearms details (make, model, serial no) on an NR transfer. The Liberals seem to be trying hard to avoid the backdoor registry angle.

I did not read anything on make or model either, you are simply calling to verify that the license is valid, you do not even need to tell them if there was a gun sold or if there was 50 guns sold, at least not how it reads now.Quote:

As for ammo sales, businesses have been required to take address, PAL #, amount and type of ammo in record in Ontario for a very long time, we essentially have had an ammunition registry in Ontario.
Mostly it is a pain in the a** that will get little regard, Cuckoo is going on a rant as usual and Justlied Trudeau is living up to his name again...

The fact is, gun violence has risen in this country, and is a clear threat to public safety. We’re acting on our campaign commitment to crack down on gangs & illegal handguns, and put tighter controls on assault weapons.

We’re also introducing stronger and more rigorous background checks on gun sales. And if you want to buy a gun, by law you’ll have to show a license at the point of purchase. Right now that’s not a requirement.

But as soon as they start talking assault weapons I stop believing what they are saying anyway .... Assault rifle .... has ONE ever been used in a crime in Canada, I have never heard of it..... and wouldn't a baseball bat also be an assault weapon if used that way???? Knife ban??
The call to make sure the card is still valid, no different from what is done now when I recently sold a firearm so as long as they don't go idiotic I see no issue. The lifetime check,that may be a problem for some, what are their cutoff offenses, if you had antidepressants 20 years ago or a woman after birth a decade ago wants to take up shooting .... not allowed based on, someones discretion????
A registry of a consumable product...makes sense.Quote:
