Bye Bye semi automatic rifles

What’s all the hoopla about? Why get all worked up over something the next government in power will tear down and reverse. Nothing ever really gets accomplished.

The problem these day's is the next government in power won't be able to tear down and reverse this as the Liberal media won't let them. If they reverse any gun laws when the next shooting occurs the media will be all over it saying "look what they did" and that government will be overthrown. TC

Overwhelm the public with statistics and truth. Then let the media do with it what they will. It’s high time that reality and logic start guiding law makers instead of popularity and image.

Never had a CO ask to see my PAL. Was never asked if mine were registered.
Asked once and he said he didn't care. Only cared about my license.

Well GW we aint in NS and even under a Conservative Provincial Government we now have this requirement to carry out firearms license that we did not have to do under the past Liberal Provincial Governments and that would be the same Provincial Government that re instated the Spring bear Hunt after the previous Conservative Government took it away from us.

There will be many Police and CO's that will not enforce it, I know there are many in NS.

The OPP is too busy now to do things like take firearms in for destruction. I've called my local detachment about one that I would like rid of and never heard back. I know that an auction house has a few for disposal and the staff were complaining they can't get the OPP to pick them up. I wouldn't worry about the OPP dive team searching for guns dropped in lakes unless they are part of an investigation into a serious crime.

First of all they named the SKS specifically along with (apparently) 22 other firearms. Secondly according to this new definition of a "Prohibited Firearm" rimfires will definitely be included.

The definition of “Prohibited Firearm” will be legislatively expanded to include any firearm “capable of discharging a projectile with a muzzle energy exceeding 10 000 Joules”, “a firearm with a bore diameter of 20 mm or greater” as well as all semi-automatic long guns with detachable magazines. TC

Source please?

Because other than fear mongering, I haven't had anyone actually publish a definitive link to any "list". Everything is conjecture.

Beware of what you read. Originally the CCFR published that in included the GSG-15, GSG-16, SKS etc....however, that hasn't been qualified by anyone to date with actual published data.

Been checked twice by the same CO and yes she did ask all of the hunters for our firearms licenses.

Wishful thinking is not the best strategy IMHO, I remember numerous folks getting caught with their pants down when the firearms act came in and many did not think they would be asked for a license on their way up to Moose camp. Got checked and gun seized, season ruined. I remember getting stopped on Highway 28 south of Apsley in a spot check supposedly for impaired drivers but everybody asked for firearms license as it was the day before opening rifle season. Picking up a few guns from an auction house would simply not be a big priority.

The comment about the dive team was more to highlight that simply saying your gun got lost is a smart idea, its not as you have to report such to the Police and it gets recorded on CPIC. If the serial number ever pops up on a check in any manner questions will be asked.

OOD's news item (we'll be updating this regularly as more details are released):

https://oodmag.com/new-proposal-would-ban-some-semi-auto-rifles-and-shotguns/

A federal government amendment to firearms Bill C-21 proposes to ban some semi-auto shotguns and/or centrefire rifles.

Bad guys will get guns anyway possible. Crimes will be committed and the uneducated public will fuss. Government will overreact to make it look like they’re doing something. Good guys (us) will continue to complain without results. Once all the legal guns are taken away, who will be left to blame for gun crimes? Maybe then people will wake up.

Both you and I know that the gun control issue is a vote getter for the two main political parties and depending on which way the wind is blowing might help get you elected Stephen Harper played the pro gun lobby and won several elections over it. But its a risky game balancing the rural/urban voting blocks and how you will come out looking.

With 600 mass shootings in the USA this year alone, our own tragic events and the demographics, immigrants coming into Canada many from war torn countries and urban shootings which side might win is very hard to call. Now that we have the sceptre of violence and possible use of firearms in our recent
Alberta incidents I believe the Canadian public is very wary on the firearms issue.

The expansion of the list of banned guns will massively increase the compensation cost to government. It will be billions. Non-gun owners might not care about guns but they will care very much that government is pissing away billions of dollars buying guns from law-abiding citizens instead of putting it to health care.

The public couldn't care less how much tax money gets pee'd away as long as the free money keeps flowing and no one has to work. This is the Canada we've become where politicians buy off the media in favor of positive coverage no matter how corrupt they get (control the message,control the agenda) or which foreign entity influences the decision making process. There's still 3 years left in a pro-communist Liberal/NDP coalition government that's hell-bent on destroying what's left of the national fabric and most Canadians couldn't give a rat's a**. I have a lot more years behind me than I have in front of me,so,by the time this country has the Hammer & Sickle flag flying over Ottawa I'll likely be pushing daisies,but,it will fly eventually. The march to liberal totalitarianism is and has been relentless. I hold out ZERO hope for my kids and grand children. They'll pay very dearly for allowing the Liberals a free hand completely unfettered.
