Where hunters should aim in discussing Bill C-21 on gun control

[mosquito]

Anyone who says pumps, semis and lever actions are banned in Australia is either grossly misinformed and can't do a Google search or a flat-out liar.

And we require police approval in Canada to acquire a restricted firearm. Perhaps you don't own one and didn't know.

Oh really, since when, in Canada you have to qualify to get it, not

the applicant is required to satisfy the Commissioner that a firearm of category A would be inadequate or unsuitable for the purpose for which the firearm is required.

You seem uninformed about the RPAL requirements, first you take a course and exam, then you fill out the form and they do a background check and if you qualify you get it, no explaining the justifications unless the Liberal's added that to their sh** list.

He will if the government tells him to. But the government hasn't banned his kind, thats why he's doesn't care about the ban. He likes heavy hitters, check it out
Attachment 41670
He keeps saying his are not on the list....lol

Better check if that isn't prohibited if you go to Australia, you can check out the prohibited list above and on the Prohibited page it says:

"Sling shot
a device consisting of an elasticised band secured to the forks of a Y shaped frame other than a home made sling shot for use by a child in the course of play."

Looks more than a child's play one.

Fudds and Tru-Anon, both a curse on Canada's hope for a better future and better laws.

When you apply to acquire a restricted firearm in Canada you are asked by the Firearms Centre (operated by the RCMP) to provide a reason for having it. If your answer is not acceptable your application is not approved. It is not much different than in Australia.

Until about 20 years ago, you had to visit the local police station two, perhaps three times, to obtain ATTs and justify your purchase to the area firearms officer.

I was the provincial firearms officer then, there was no such requirement during my tenure .....

I've been away from this site for awhile - and the gun debate continues. Here is some more stuff to chew on.
We all agree that no matter what politician gets in power there are two things that make them tick: MONEY and VOTES. We, as an outdoors forum group, make up a fairly small number of votes compared to the urban dwellers in Ontario that cannot tell the difference between a chickadee and a grouse or a cedar tree and a white pine.
BUT - we spend a lot of money. https://oodmag.com/13-2-billion-spen...port-shooting/
From this big ole chunk of fudge is 6.5 billion just in Ontario alone. I would not want to lose those tax revenues or votes. Even Lord Emporer Justinius Trudough knows that. He will try to get rid of "scary" guns but he won't want to lose all that revenue.
Just my opinion, but I have never seen a politician last very long who would eliminate 6.5 BILLION worth of tax dollars.

When I was a provincial local firearms officer you needed a reason to acquire a restricted firearms or even be approved for a license to aquire one. If you said you wanted a handgun for protection you were automatically gonged. For a restricted weapon you needed to belong to a range as a member or a collector. Security guards got their licenses for possession of the gun at work but they were left at the place of business after work hours.

The process was:

Step #1: Buy restricted firearm

Step #2: Go to police station and see Firearms Officer. Present receipt with gun details, explain the reason for buying the gun, wait for him/her to type out short-term ATT.

Step #3: Go back to store. Show paperwork, sign book, go back to police station, present restricted firearm to Firearms Officer for examination.

Step #4: If he was an accommodating sort the Firearms Officer typed out a short-term ATT and you could take the firearm home after a warning not to take it to the range until the registration certificate arrived.

(Less accommodating Firearms Officers (e.g. Halton) would keep the firearm until the registration certificate arrived meaning another trip back to the police station to acquire a short-term ATT, pick it your firearm and take it home.)

Step #5: Registration certificate arrived in the mail and you could take your new firearm shooting.

Each registration certificate listed the reason for owning the firearm as shown here.

So what's the big fuss about ?

Take guns from law abiding citizens ?
These are good people who mostly respect the firearm . They are not being taken away from criminals so why take them from the good guys. Good people with good intentions not intentions to go on a killing spree.


We already know this ban does little to save lives. We are taking them away from law abiding citizens who have background checks .


This is all silly nonsense that does nothing to stop the st crime .

Anyone who thinks these guns need to be banned is a fool.

Only an overhaul in the media will change things.
As long as they're allowed to continue to brainwash characters like Gilroy and Banananoc, there'll be division and mistrust throughout all of our communities.

[fishfood]

Criminal checks , mentally ill checks background checks. All from law abiding citizens . Clean records to even own one legally this is not the answer this is another fear mongering scam.

One of the ironies of Bill C-68 was it made acquiring a restricted firearm much easier and a long gun more complicated.
