Gun ban talks back after a sad weekend in NS

[MikePal]

Their motto must be : Better to be seen doing something, than doing nothing at all. . Now we the Canadian public can feel so much safer???

That's it exactly..but the sad fact is, the Village Idiot doesn't care about the safety of Canadians, all he cares about is ; will it get him votes.

See CTV has published a partial list:

The ban includes guns that have been used in past Canadian shootings, including:


the M16
M4
the AR10
the AR15
the CZ scorpian EVO3
the Ruger Mini-14 which was used in the Ecole Polytechnique massacre in Montreal in 1989;
the M14 semi-automatic which was used in the 2014 Moncton shooting;
the Beretta CX4 Storm which was used in the Dawson College shooting; and
the CSA-VZ-58 which the gunman attempted to use in the Quebec Mosque shooting.
the Pistolet Sig Sauer Sig MCX
Robinson XCR

I seen that list or the short list. I’m going to try trade my 10/22 sks mini 14 .223 for a .50 Cal BMG that won’t be on the list

Remember when we used to lock up mentally ill people in asylums and we didn’t have problems with mass shootings? Those were the days....

See CTV has published a partial list:

The only two that I do not agree with are the M-16 and the M-4. Both of these were designed for military & police use only and were not available to civilians to purchase in Canada. They might as well list illegal guns as well. The AR-15 is the semi automatic version that was available to the public with a restricted license. I'm surprised the Trevor and the Swiss Arms are not on the list.

M-16 had two modes - semi auto and fully auto (big no, no in Canada)
M-4 was the replacement for the M-16 and had a semi auto mode and a 3 round burst mode (again big no, no in Canada)

I hope Billy Blair has a big fat cheque book cuz he will need it.......

They only list 4 situations that these bans would help Canadians . The last one says witch a gunman attempting to use???.
So they can only come up with 4 in the last 31 years. Its such a shame.

They talk about rapid fire I know guys who can put 5 to 7 shells through a shotgun on a flock of birds. And yes they only held 3 shots figure that out rapid fire.

What about turning a 30 30 into a semi automatic? It's been done . What does a ban do when you can change the way a firearm reacts?.

Then is all what happens over the border. What is used in the United states.


Didnt think an ar 15 was used heavily in Canada on mass murders. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politi...-1.4918623qqqq

No mass shooting with an AR - until the NS Shooter. He took the AR from a fallen police officer.

Has anyone actually seen how this so-called buy back will be paid out? Somehow,I'm having trouble envisioning a government hack writing a cheque to each owner turning in a firearm. Finance people I've been talking to are of the opinion that it will be in the form of a non-refundable tax credit. That way,no funds actually change hands and the government will never need to pay out the full amount to each owner in cash.

See CTV has published a partial list:

That looks like a carefully chosen list that very few firearms owners actually have in their collection. It's almost be design to minimize the blow back.

Yea I think this is Bill Blair's way of saving face. He knows the truth but is still required to do the task he was hired for. This is a mediocre compromise.

edit add: Not too thrilled that additions to the list will be done thru 'Order of Council' and not require Legislation

I have 3 of them!! If they are not paying cash for them they will be getting the receiver only and they can shove their buy back program. Everything else (bolt, trigger group, barrel, & sights) are not restricted and can be bought by anyone with a non-restricted license so I will be keeping them.
