they make deals with each other to suit there personal needs. just like north sylva refusing to sell restricted tavor barrels without them putting them on the rifle and registering it as restricted. theres no law saying you cant posses a restricted barrel if its not on a gun. definitely a back door deal.
That's just NS being NS. Has nothing to do with back door deals with the lab. Just controlling for what they consider to be the "better good" for the community.
Not saying I agree.

Agreed.
I never meant "just RPD owners", but reality is unless it's personal many will leave it to the passionate. Others don't want to stir the pot and put their name to paper. It's typical of human behavior.
I deal with the same crap in the off road 4wd world trying to promote Tread Lightly, fight the tactics of demonization by the organizations that want to close trails. I spent the last few days dealing with protecting our truck club and members from being associated with a group that trespasses and destroys property. One single pic of our members trucks on the said groups page , has debistating consiquences for our reputation and gives ammo to the anti wheelers. Being a club forum moderator, I choose to be active. For many it's just a hobby where they build and wheel, the politics are boring or they don't have time.
Same applies here.
Totally agree 110%.All gun owners should be jumping on this issue whether they have skin in the game or not. The outcome will be positive for us all.
Because this isn't the case maybe a different strategy to add to the paper blitz is needed. What? I'm not sure. Maybe dealers, industry, lobby groups and gun owners banding together in one large campaign to challange ALL of these classification and CFO issues together, in one great push. It seems the gun world here in Canada is fractioned into sub cultures. We see this in our local gun club, for crying out loud.
Because they don't want the media crap storm coming back on them if someone takes a non-restricted, rebarrels it to restricted then fails to register it as such.
It is a stupid philosophy, but one that several dealers have decided to go with. Has nothing to do with the lab, it has to do with certain dealers trying to minimize something that MIGHT happen if they sell the shorter barrels.

It isn't typical human behaviour, unless you count laziness and uninvolved "typical".
That is an individual trait, not human nature as a whole.
Lobby groups? What do you think lobby groups are? They are invested people pushing for a goal related to a cause. If you are a gun owner, gun dealer, gun seller, you aren't automatically in the gun lobby.
The gun lobby IS members of those parties banding together. The rest are just people who have guns.

Well an RPD made it into a mad post-apocalyptic future before we ever saw one. (Mad Max Fury Road)
Listen, and understand. That Liberal is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse- only fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your guns are gone.
Well, I put together a basic letter regarding the RPD, CZ858 / Swiss Arms, C-42 and a couple more issues. I'll send them this coming week.
I don't have accurate details other than what was posted in this thread, so the details are more basic than I'd like. I modified and added to the letter I put together for the CZ858 / Swiss Arms.
It's a weak letter IMO, hopefully it won't be filed in the shredder.
One thing for sure, the classification system is broken. By that I mean that back a couple of decades ago a person named Michel Lotito ate a Cessna 150 Airplane in about 2 years. So if a plane can be eaten, why can't they check this firearm to see if its a machine gun or not? Someone is playing games and that someone gets a government pay check! Someone needs to bring the hammer down on whoever is not doing their jobs and terminate their employment.....find someone who can do the job!
