    Angry Stop the RCMP!

    Let's get onto our MP's and Minister Blaney directly and let them know that this is not acceptable and the RCMP do not make laws or policy!!

    We are almost there with the Common Sense reforms. Do not let the RCMP move us two steps back again!

    From Calibre facebook page

    In attending the CSSA annual general meeting we had the opportunity to follow up on the changes to Bulletin 72 with both the CSSA and Minister Blaney's office. Unfortunately we learned that Murray Smith (Manager, Specialized Firearms Support Services, Firearms Investigative and Enforcement Services Directorate, Canadian Firearms Program, RCMP) was heard referring to this as "The Year of the Magazine" at CANSEC just days ago. Allegedly this is a reference to an ongoing effort by the RCMP to limit LAR-15, Beowulf, and similar magazines' use. It is expected that whatever changes they intend to implement in order to obtain the goal of sidelining these magazines' use will be rolled out mere weeks ahead of the upcoming election. Minister Blaneys' office and the CSSA both overheard these comments at CANSEC, are aware of the RCMP's intentions, and are working towards preventing it. We will also be filing further Access to Information requests and following up with both the CSSA and the government as the situation develops over the summer.

    In short, it appears that the RCMP are working towards placing restrictions on magazine use that would prevent the use of LAR-15 and Beowulf magazines, either completely or by legally requiring those magazines only be used with LAR-15 and Beowulf rifles. When we asked "Does this mean we may not be able to use our ten round magazines in out regular AR-15" we were told that indeed, this effort by the Firearms Program would prevent us from doing that, if it comes to fruition.

    Send letters:

    Letters should be addressed to:

    The Right Honourable Stephen Harper MP, Prime Minister of Canada
    The Honourable Steven Blaney MP, Minister of Public Safety

    Blaney's FAX is 1-613-995-6856
    Harper's FAX is 1-613-941-6900

    Whatever you write, you can:
    1) email it
    2) Print it and FAX it
    3) then put it in the mail

    Ok. Murray Smith:

    How many people have died and been injured by the use of the LAR-15 Mags?
    How many crimes were comitted using these mags?
    How many lives could have been sparred if a person was forced into using a 5 round mag to commit a crime?


    This is a rapid errosion of our freedom. The bureaucrats who appiont themselves to the highest ranks of the RCMP are ensuring that we are a disarrmed country.
    This is no longer a "tinfoil hat" topic. We are being systematically demonized by Ottawa and sociopaths who enjoy armed protection but demand we be disarmed.

    not that I agree with it, but I figured there would come when the RCMP would shut down that loop hole. I don't think that its a coincidence that it has magically become an issue now when we are months away from an election.
    If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

    But it's not a loophole.

    It was the RCMP that made the determination about the magazines and published their findings. Now a few years later, they simple are changing their minds.

    They did the same thing on the Swiss Arms and the CZ 858. They made a determination, published it, then after the fact, changed their minds.

    Murray Smith can discuss firearm-magazine classifications after he's released a genuine, complete, non-redacted, and brutally honest report as to who did what at High River, and what repercussions have since befallen those involved in wrongdoing. Not a moment before that, though.
    But there is only one person that I see on CGN as being truly despicable by every ethical and moral standards and worse: to be dangerous to the community itself, and that's Cyclone the subversive.

    When the police tell you something is legal, then change their minds and attempt to prosecute you for doing what they told you was legal... that is the definition of entrapment. Just saying.

    They are opening themselves up to a few lawsuits with this one. Keep your old copies of the bulletin as reference.
