Bye Bye semi automatic rifles

[chesapeake]

I have another one for you. This should clear up the whole issue.


"Murray Smith, a technical specialist for the RCMP’s Canadian firearms program, explained the list is not an exhaustive one, as sections of the criminal code already prohibit firearms — whether on the list or not — of certain characteristics, like being fully automatic or a sawed-off barrel.

When asked by committee member Taleeb Noormohamed if, for example, the inclusion of the Ruger No. 1 rifle meant all Ruger 1s were prohibited, Smith said only those rifles chambered for calibres capable of producing muzzle energy greater than 10,000 joules.

“Other Ruger No. 1 rifles, which are chambered for different cables that do not produce that level of energy will remain in the existing category, which broadly speaking, is non-restricted,” Smith said"

Similar to the Ruger 1s, I have been saving for a Mark V Deluxe maybe continue to save for a Lasermark.


Im thankful I hadn't purchased already. The lists I have seen speak nothing to calibre only brand and model.

This whole thing is a mess!

Spend the time and money on the border and enforcement in the cities.

The whole thing is a mess because somebody decided to make Murray Smith GOD.

Why is this guy deciding what comes and goes, they definitely need to get back to the drawing board or just leave things alone.

I wonder if Justine realises that if the Conservatives get back into power especially with a majority ALL THIS WILL GET REVERSED. Everybody will still have their guns, as there in not the police resources to find these guns.

You know when Harper finally got a majority government, I thought what you say might be the case, but instead of repealing the liberal 'Firearm Act.' His government merely added a few modifications . So don't expect that anything is likely to change much, with a change in government. The only radicals out there appear to be the CPP, that is if Max can be trusted, which I highly doubt.

You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.

The disbanding of the long gun registry was more than a "modification." By doing so Harper ended Liberal fantasies of civilian disarmament. If they can't find them and don't know who has them then they can't take them.

That's only if you believe that registry was actually deleted...
According to standard government data retention policies data is kept for 7 years, so those databases are still around. Won't be surprised, if they resurface just when moment is right

Even if there are illegal copies of the registry in existence the data in them is now over ten years old. Hardly enough to qualify for an investigation much less a search warrant.

Data was also down loaded into many databases by individual detachments where they had IT dept's. Not very hard would not take very long

Well a funny paragraph appears at section 16 of the affidavit


"Notice to the public about the Regulation
16. Between May 22 to June 5, 2020, a generic one-page information sheet titled,
“Announcement of a Firearms Prohibition” was mailed to 2.2 million individuals with a
valid firearms license. The information sheet provided information about the changes that
came about as a result of the Regulation, and where license holders could obtain more
information. Owners of firearms that were classified as restricted prior to May 1 2020,
and were prohibited by the Regulation, were also provided with individualized letters
advising them of the change.

To some degree it would still be quite useful. I doubt many people trade, sell their guns very often.
