The MPX 9mm Now In 4.5"-8"-16"

It's isn't the rcmp's fault the firearms act was written with so much room for interpretation. The blame lay with the authors who gladly sure back and smile while the rcmp take the hit. The rcmp are bound by duty and law to enforce the law, even if it is bad law.

Change comes with changing the law. Not yelling at the mounties. Change the law, and the problems coming out of the lab opinions of the law go away.

This. And further more, the problem won't go away as long we have a majority Liberal gov't. The laws are written in way that they allow for interpretation. As long as the current gov't pushes an anti-gun agenda, don't expect anyone at the lab to "interpret" anything in our favour. They care about their job as much as anyone else, and if they rule in our favour enough times, they'll just get replaced with someone who will fall in line with the Liberal's anti-gun agenda. Either we wait until we get another majority PC gov't, or until enough interested parties get together, put in enough money to pursue litigation and hopefully get a favourable court decision.
 
Seems rhetorical but I think you're really asking me this...and in all fairness, I think I answered above.
But yes, I understand how a bill becomes a law and how the judiciary works, and who authors what. This is not the issue.
Again, the fact that the government of Canada introduced the legislation, in no way, absolves the RCMP in this fiasco. The RCMP are not simply following orders or the "letter of the law" here. They are "interpreting"...inconsistently over time, I might add...to help effect a particular outcome. And those interpretations may very well lead to actions like arrests, charges being laid and Canadians having their liberty taken from them. And for what? Where is the demonstrable harm? As such, I say that the RCMP is an active and willing participant in the assault on lawful Canadian firearms owners.
And they now have allies in Ottawa. Whereas previously, although far from perfect, at least the CPC tried to keep them in check. Case in point: without the CPC, the RCMP would be rounding up our SKS's and M305's.

But let me be clear: I do not lay the blame solely at the feet of the RCMP (and my anecdotal experience with the Mounties I compete with/against is that they think this is all complete bullsh1t too). I lay it at the feet of our government AND the RCMP, who has taken the baton and is running it down the track with gusto.

Well said.
 
I was pretty clear, I think. It's the apathy that bothers me. And the "crying" bit. My point was not to demand some specific action from him. Not my point...

Oh, I agree... apathy is one of the biggest hurdles we face. Sometimes I think we actually need a major hit against us, something far worse than the Swiss Green fiasco for this Ruger 25-round mag nonsense, some kind of major limitation on ownership and usage or a massive gun grab, to finally polarize this community into action. Right after apathy, all the bickering and in-fighting among us is a major drag as well. We need change, desperately. Until then, all we can do is continue to encourage people to get RPALs, tell them to encourage their friends and families to get RPALs as well, encourage everyone to join associations like the CSSA and CCFR and, of course, strongly encourage everyone to vote Conservative the next time around. In the meantime, hopefully we can finally get some litigation in our favour.

Yes, there is polling data. QMI was one, I believe. Ipsos too.

Link(s)...?
 
I don't disagree. My comment to the other poster was not made casually. I think it's important.

It seemed, to me at least, that you were jumping on the guy just for being happy that he was able to get a gun he wanted. But, that's just my perception of it, and perception can often be subjective.

Come on, man. I didn't do research before engaging in the back&forth. This is from memory. But I doubt you disagree that public confidence has been greatly shaken in recent history. It's been in the news. And I like I said, polls. There've been some ups and downs, I'll concede that.

Well, when people post supposedly fact-based comments, it's nice to see that they are actually supported by, well... facts. That was reason why I asked.

I also admit that I don't have positive vibes for the Mounties at the moment...

It seems that very few on this site have any positive vibes for them these days, but I think some of it is misdirected.
 
Can you confirm the MPX pistol version we will be getting in Canada from MDC will be the newer GEN2 model with keymod rail, interchangeable capable barrels, ambi charging handle and proper GEN2 magazines.

The MPX in the demo video looks like a GEN 1?

Does anyone know if the MPX comes with sights? The pictures posted don't show sights on them and Sig's website has a blank spot for sights under their specifications.
 
Really? I think for that kind of price tag sights should be included. If CZ can include what looks to be top notch sights on their Scorpion EVO for a way cheaper price, there is no reason why Sig can't.

I'm not knocking CZ, but they don't make Sig Quality firearms so its hard to compare. You aren't even comparing apples to apples here, one is Plastic/Nylon, the other is machined Aluminum. If Sig wanted to add sights, they would make Sig quality sights and add another $200 to the price.

I rather CZ remove the plastic sights and take $50 off the price.

Sights are a personal preference. Not everyone likes the same style. Why force someone to pay for them, then have them in your parts bin.
 
No sights

The US Versions come with sights, why not these? Also it would be nice if MDC would confirm that these are Gen2, and not Gen1. I figure they are Gen2 latest production, but SIG are still unloading some older Gen1's in the US at reduced prices and I hope they don't try and pass off Gen1's to Canada?
