    Badenoch;1206296]Every time I see a new ban list I'm grateful to Stephen Harper for disbanding the gun registry. It's harder to for governments to confiscate guns when it doesn't know where they are and who owns them.[/QUOTE]

    A bit shortsighted if you plan to be afield with any of your guns, on the other hand if you keep them in a safe and never take them out you might be OK.
    Mind you ex wife's and nasty BIL's or neighbours could still screw you up.

    They don’t have to be on the “list”. They fit into the general definition of a prohibited weapon…..

    Is this your interpretation Rick, or is this officially from the government?

    The definition includes basically a semi that can “accept” a mag of over 5 rounds. It’s a broad interpretation, but basically anything with a mag well, could “accept” an over cap. mag. I watched a vid from Ian Runkle, firearms lawyer, who said the same thing… you can find his vid on the CCFR site…..some firearms don’t fit into the “detachable magazine” part such as the SKS, so they specifically mentioned those firearms….

    Just a thought. Instead of the on going banter aimed at each other, why not use the energy to brainstorm ideas on how to educate the general public on firearms. We are our own worst enemy.

    My idea is to go right to the heart of gun crime areas (Jane & finch, Scarborough, etc.) and some how setup a kiosk for residents in that area to participate in a hunter education program. We could get hunters ed. teachers to volunteer and go over the same things we all learned. Maybe ofah could get involved and highlight the values of hunting and conservation. Maybe get some farmers out there to explain how much crop damage can occur without population controls. We must have some olympians that could express the sporting aspect of firearms. Get some historians in the mix to highlight the use of firearms for domestic purposes. Have a few statisticians on hand to make clear the likeliness of a ban working to prevent gun crime. Bring in some border agents to do seminars on how illegal guns get into our country.

    We can’t win this fight without swaying public opinion. And we can’t sway public opinion from our high horses. Sure we can complain to each other and complain and lobby the government, but public sentiment carry’s weight.

    Gilroy,
    Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I respect your right to express yours. I’m curious though, are you not concerned about the latest round of prohibition? Do you think that the government will stop their agenda with semi-autos or will they continue until all firearms are banned? At what point do you say enough?

    Bang on birdbuff. Some adds explaining the Canadian firearms program, storage laws, and how every firearm owner is checked for criminal records and mental health.
