Thank you Mr. Hipwell,

I don,t believe for a minute this has anything to do with "public safety" or even an attack against pistol mag owners/retailers.

Seems pretty clear to me that this is designed to influence the upcoming federal election.

The RCMP is pitting gun owners against the Cons. As much as I hate to admit it, pretty crafty move on their part.

The stakes have never been higher for gun owners in Canada. This should be shouted out from the highest rooftops.

I do not own any of the affected items but I lost enough treasure during the nineties due the influence of this organization, to recognize these actions for what they are.

I am forced to also agree with your conclusion, it is very sad when so called members of the RCMP attempt to influence politics. The RCMP SFSS should be disciplined and held accountable for their actions, their changes of opinion help no one.

Your absolutely right. We should sit on our collective asses and be reactive instead of proactive. It has worked well for us in the past.:rolleyes:

My point being we look foolish when we freak out over nothing. Wolverine seems to think that there's more to this than what was said in that post, so I'll wait to see more information.

As a young shooter its pretty discouraging how hard the "fun police" are working. <Sarcasm>I guess it is a proven fact that limiting magazines to 5 rounds will end all violence everywhere forever though.<Sarcasm/>

nope, it's restricting mag capacities and altering classifications and equipping the entire rcmp force with Ar15 type carbines, so they are equipped and trained to disarm everyone when that day eventually comes, if this behavior is allowed to continue.

I want the elected government to make the laws and govern the land and I want a police force that is there to uphold those laws in their serve and protect role. I don't need them to tell me what I can and can't do in their skewed and maliscious interpretation of said laws.
 
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
 
We need show the RCMP that we see through their BS plot like a 50cal bullet through plywood.
they want to pit us against the con, we should organize a enough is enough donation campaign for the con, show them we will not be taking it laying down this time, and their bs plot won't work.
wolverine would you take the lead and make a donation site? many of us will donate right away.

we should make it that all donations will go the conservetive party of Canada, ONLY if the RCMP is restrained from making laws as they please.

I think we need to set up the auto mailer that we had running back during the swiss arms debacle.
 
I used to hold the RCMP in high regard but as time passes I think less and less of them as they lurch along from crisis to crisis and the ever and on going efforts by them to target the law abiding and responsible firearms owners as criminals.
 
I sent the following letter:

The Honourable Steven Blaney,

I think we can all agree that holders of Canadian firearms licenses are among the most trusted citizens in our society. The RCMP themselves have made the determination that these people are trustworthy enough to own firearms, and act responsibly with this privilege. As licensed firearms owners, we have proven the RCMP correct in this determination.

The rules set forth, and continually changed by the RCMP only affect us, the above mentioned responsible citizens. Those in our society who wish to cause harm with a firearm are not licensed, nor will they follow the rules set forth by the RCMP. For example, any further restrictions placed on magazine size will only act to inconvenience law abiding licensed sport shooters. Criminals that manage to get their hands on firearms are easily able to circumvent these magazine size restrictions by buying unrestricted magazines, or by illegally modifying previously size restricted magazines.

Further restrictions on magazine size will not affect these criminals, only law abiding citizens. This leads me to two questions: first, why does the RCMP continually act to inconvenience those that they have determined to be the most upstanding and trusted citizens in society? Shouldn't these people have less restrictions put on them, not more?

Second, it has been proven in the US by statistics and various studies during, and after the 'Assault Weapons Ban' that magazine size restrictions made absolutely no difference to the prevalence of gun crime, so why does the RCMP seem to think it will make a difference here?

I have always turned to the conservative government for logic regarding issues such as these, and yet the RCMP seems to be acting in this manner under your watch. Before the next election, please prove to myself and the rest of your constituents that you can govern using logic and not emotion.
 
My letter.

Good day Mr. Blaney.

You may remember me from the conversations we had together at your announcement at the Rock Cut Shooting Club regarding the prohibition of the CZ 858 and Swiss Arms. While we wait for that mess to be cleaned up I have recently came across information that the RCMP is now planning on deciding the law regarding magazine capacity for certain firearms.

Something needs to be done about this. The law is the law in the way that it is written, it can not be left up to a police force to decide and modify at their will. This is the job of the government. While I continue to wait to legally use my CZ 858 again, I sincerely hope that something can be done about these constant instances of the RCMP bypassing parliamentary process.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Sincerely, ###.
 
I took a look at the web page for special bulletin no. 72 and they have modified the wording in there already. I compared it to a copy I had printed, and they have removed the wording regarding LAR-15 under section 4. Previously it was mentioned specifically under the Marlin model 45 using 1911 mags, but now it's gone.
 
im not much of a comma guy but other then that am i missing anything big in my letter?

Dear Honourable Steven Blaney

It has come to my attention many times that the RCMP have been targeting law abiding firearms owners and disrespecting the laws honourable politicians have spent so much time and effort to create.

There is no transparency in their method of classifying firearms or parts and it is affecting many honest people and businesses in canada.
While some firearms are tested and passed in a matter of months the RCMP have had many firearms in their testing labs for years with no reason why or when they will finish classifying them.
If you would like me to expand on the above statement i will gladly list a number of firearms that they currently have and have had in their possession for a number of years.

As well I'm sure you are aware that they have reclassified many rifles simply by adding a new FRT# to change the status of once legally owned firearms to prohibited items.

I have been in dismay for a while over the lack of transparency in the RCMP classification system but today i have been informed that they are once again targeting legal owners of pistol magazines known as LAR15 and Beowulf magazines.

[quote 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. [end quote]

It is clearly obvious that criminals do NOT care to follow the laws of the firearms act and the current magazine restrictions only negatively effect the law abiding firearms owners of Canada.
When will the honourable members of parliament rein in these wild horses we call "public servants" (RCMP).
They have been re-interpreting laws over and over again as if they are the powers that make law rather then the powers that enforce law.

As a member of the voting community I can not choose who becomes the bureaucratic upper management of the RCMP.
I can however vote for the party I think will better all of Canada.

Please prove to me that you are a party I should continue to support by giving us transparency in the classification system and removing the useless laws such as magazine restrictions which have no effect on public safety and only effect the law abiding citizens of Canada.

Sincerely with my greatest respect

The RCMP have been getting away with crime after crime, and overreach after overreach for years. And this is under a CPC majority. If they won't reel them in, no one will. Get these bureaucrat tyrants on a leash already. And charge the ones who were complicit in High River.

I like it and its certainly true, we are the ones with the cleanest records and the self control to maintain ourselves in even difficult situations, hence no criminal code convictions.

They quietly changed it May 11th... after they issued the original LAR15 ruling back in 2008...
 
Why are we letter writing about them going after 10 round LAR magazines and .50 Beowulf magazines and not letter writing about magazine capacity in general? Why are we not using our time to try to get the stupid 5 round and 10 round limit eliminated as opposed to trying to keep these particular magazines?

Why don't we say "we've had 10 round LAR magazines and 15 round .50 Beowulf magazines for years and not one of us has massacred a bunch of babies at the mall. Can we all not agree magazine capacities like 5 rounds for rifle and 10 rounds for pistol do absolutely NOTHING to enhance public safety? As evidenced by the aforementioned magazines why don't we use logic and allow full manufacturer capacity magazines for rifles and pistols that are already severely restricted to where/when we can use them in our Country".

Just saying I'd rather buy a $25 full 30 round PMag than a $75 .50 Beowulf magazine.
