The European dictatorship in Brussels has been wagging the finger and barking orders at "member states" to implement it's "European firearms directive" across Europe. The Czechs, the Hungarians, the Slovaks and the Poles have all told the E.U to POKE their "directive" where the sun don't shine.........Sadly not the Portuguese. It's a bit long winded but persevere and have a read. It is an utter travesty, stomping all over the rights of law abiding people whilst doing NOTHING to address criminality and terrorism.
This is a translation from Portuguese to Spanish and then to English by me.
DEMENTED PROPOSAL FOR THE TRANSPOSITION OF THE EUROPEAN ARMS DIRECTIVE IN PORTUGAL
A follower of ANARMA in Portugal have sent us an email with a summary of the transposition of the directive for that country. As you can read it is a direct attack on the liberties of honest Portuguese citizens. We know that in this outrage has been seen in part by Central Arms and Explosives Intervention (ICAE), since we have information on several trips to Lisbon from one of its leaders, when it was being prepared, some of them even public.
"In Portugal, new legislation on weapons is being prepared, but with it, many basic rights are being eliminated and overnight and citizens who respect the law are criminalised ...
This proposal was delivered last Friday 10th and the deadline for the response is until Wednesday 15th, which leaves us 2 business days to respond (Wednesday is a national holiday).
Attached you can find the proposal, but here for you are some important points that I think are the most crucial:
- The deactivation of a firearm means PERMANENT DESTRUCTION: if the person has obtained the weapon legally, this means that he is obliged in certain cases to allow the government to destroy a personal possession.
- Weapons (long guns) will be considered military grade (A) include weapons of any kind (semiautomatic, repetition, etc.) that have at least ONE of the following: Removable stock, Thumb hole stock, pistol grip or forward hand grip, Grenade launcher or Bipod or more than one picatinny rail.
-This means that a rifle fitted with a bipod is considered a military weapon and its possession leads to at least 2 years in prison. Normal rifles like the CZ 455 ( with a bipod ) will get you prison time!
If you have a Marlin 45-70 lever action with a picatinny rail of more than 5 cm long, YOU ARE A CRIMINAL.
- The penalty for possessing a firearm with the configuration of a military weapon is EXACTLY the same as if you possess a nuclear or biological weapon.
- All components of ammunition (such as cases and projectiles) are ALSO considered ammunition, and reloading without the prior authorization of the Police is considered a crime.
- The possession of magazines with a capacity of more than 20 cartridges for pistols and more than 10 cartridges for long guns is considered a crime punishable by imprisonment and a prohibition for the owner to have a weapon permit for any reason (including sport or hunting) FOR LIFE.
- If you have magazines with these characteristics, you have 6 months to destroy them, sell them abroad or give them away for the police to use them .....
- Hunters can only have 10 rifles and 15 shotguns: hunters who have more have to sell them, destroy them or give them to the police.
- The “inherited” license that allowed the possession of weapons at home without the possibility of buying ammunition or use disappears. But that habitually was used to maintain the arms of a deceased and that had sentimental value.
- The self-defense license is tightened and the shameful and unacceptable Spanish model is copied.
There is great concern among Portuguese users over this abuse of their freedoms, which is but one more example of the “libertarian” drift and covert dictatorship experienced by the alleged European democracies.
TOMORROW we will try from this FACEBOOK page to coordinate some civic protest action so that our Portuguese brothers can protest in an organized way.
So as an example your Remington BDL bolt action rifle if you were to attach a BIPOD it then becomes a "military weapon" and your'e going to jail for two years.
Give your magazine to the Police so they can use them ????? WHAT ?????.
Do not give the progressives, democrats, socialists, communists nor any other type do-gooder gun grabbers any concessions whatsoever on your 2nd Amendment rights.
Do not give them an inch. Or this could be you ?
Make no mistake about it ladies and gentlemen REGISTRATION LEADS TO CONFISCATION.
