Trudeau is trying to milk the two recent shootings in the US. I'm sure he is trying to advance his socialist agenda before getting booted from office.
Give that man a cigar!!
Did something happen recently in Canada to trigger such legislation?
Not specifically beyond what John said above...it's Monday or Tuesday...or whatever.
I can't adequately express in words what I feel these days. With all the personal/family stuff going on I don't have much headspace for that nitwit of an excuse for a piece of skin. To anyone without their own small minds shoved firmly up their backsides it's obvious what's happening. To the rest of us it's just another day of being publicly flogged for the sport of elitist nincompoops with delusions of dictatorship.
Handgun transfers, sales and imports to be halted
on the passing of this latest piece of crap that's supposed to resemble legislation. (Essentially a ban by attrition. They won't have to "buy back" a single gun they will have to be surrendered on death...they are registered, so they know where they are.) Along with a
permanent magazine cap at 5rds max for ALL long guns...does it mean having to alter fixed internal mags as well you ask...that's a question we don't have the answer too but I wouldn't doubt they expect guys to butcher their classics......just cuz they are a-holes of the highest magnitude. There's also red flag BS in there, new penalties for altering mag capacity, etc. Just more "new" laws to confuse the ones already in existence. But, "
you can't pose somberly and take credit for old laws" (credit to a reddit/canadaguns user for that one)
As with Obama...Turdo is the greatest gun salesman in Canada's history. Gun stores are out of stock everywhere, hardly a pistol to be found anywhere....and so it should be....screw you JT.
Compliance will be hard to avoid for the registered owners of restricted firearms (handguns, AR's & others)...if the horse-cops come knocking they don't need a warrant. For those with legal, unregistered, non-restricted arms (long guns) compliance with the coming "buy back" is guaranteed to be abysmal. Compliance during the last long gun registry was also a failure by any measure and it will only be worse this time around. They have recently enacted a shadow registry (which they said they wouldn't...wow they lied...whodathunkit?), requiring dealers to keep records of all non-restricted gun sales for 20 years and all sales and transfers have to be run through the CFP to verify the license of the buyer. Apparently, no firearm info is collected. However, we have already heard reports of questions being asked by the call takers regarding make and model of the firearm being transferred. Guys are just hanging up and calling back and getting the approval without extra questions most of the time. Apparently, the online license verification portal does not collect firearm data at this time. Most of us expect that will change shortly.
Private transfers of non-restricted firearms (long guns) still require the seller to verify the buyer's license with the CFP, exposing the seller's information to potential identity theft. Completing a private sale (transfer) without verifying the license of the buyer is now an offense under the criminal code. So, you give up your license info to a stranger and trust they are a straight shooter or just don't purchase. I'm sure they're counting on a reduction in private sales by folks that are cautious or like me, have been through identity theft. I won't divulge my license info to a stranger period rather than have some gangbanger attempt to use my info to purchase guns illegally? Nope.
So in short, for gun owners things in Canuckistan are pretty sucky right now.
