I got did of my handguns about 22 years a go. The reason? The paperwork and rules (too easy to get in trouble inadvertently) Also, Crétin was in power, and I was convinced he was coming after our black guns and handguns. Well, I could still be enjoying them if I hadn't. I would even be grandfathered for prohib.

Offer up nothing and be prepared for them to legislate something you have a problem with. It’ll take a while to change back and on this topic, it won’t be completely reversed if it ever is dealt with again.
I’m already restricted to 2 in my magazine for Waterfowl. By permanently restricting a shotgun to 3 shots from 5, capacity is reduced by 40% and retains 100% of what is regulated for Waterfowling. Maybe deer hunters can’t get by with 3 shots, maybe they can.
I’ve only been shooting for just over 50 years, sorry that Fudds like me are screwing eveything up....
"Offer?"
Why are you so eager to implement more restrictions that will accomplish nothing?
Nothing better than getting the citizens to turn on themselves right? They fall right in line with hardly an effort at all. A few of them even posted in this thread....
Clark,
“offer up” can be any solution, not just gun restrictions.
It was mentioned here semi shotguns could be included in any legislation, an argument to not to have them included is better made before it happens.
I’ll take loading my firearm more often over losing it any day....if that’s what it comes down to.

Yah, me too.
The crime stats on duck hunters and skeet shooters going ape sh!t and committing mass shootings are pretty scary.
At least "I wouldn't object to" is a change from the quintessential compromised phrase "I'm OK with".
A silly thought: How about locking the bangers that are actually doing the shootings up in jail?

The less the government, it's agencies and bureaucrats know about your business and personal possessions the better.
They're going to be trying every scam, intimidation, bait and switch tactic imaginable to flush out privately owned guns in the near future.
Central storage = registration = confiscation

That’s the mentality that’s the problem in the firearms community, people like you are willing to throw the rest of us under the bus because it won’t affect you that much. It’s ####ing sad that some guys with years in the game would say who cares about the rest of us when it’s the younger crowd that would stand up for your rights to own and shoot anything you would want, it’s pathetic really.
The title of the thread was if semi auto shotguns would be included in any legislation.
All I said was hunting shotguns could be exempt by making them capacity limited to what they are already regulated. Will tactical type guns get restricted to ranges as the original poster queried? I don’t know. I don’t shoot them. My original post was aimed at hunting semi shotguns as that is how I read the post. Wasn’t intending to “throw anyone under the bus”, was suggesting a way to keep them out of legislation.
I’ve been to many council meetings and spoke to keep areas open to shooting and hunting, even if not in my personal shooting area. Areas where guys shoot up tv’s, refrigerators, toilets...., left big messes out there. And we’ve had success keeping them open . But I’ll also tell you politicians want to do something, anything good or bad if it makes them look like they are doing something that’s favourable to them. They want votes!
We’re all under the bus, politicians aren’t going to pull us out without some sort of compromise. Liberals are in trouble and think any gun legislation will get them votes so they’ll push it through. If we are fortunate enough to elect a government that will repeal the legislation, be prepared for compromise....

The original poster queried if semi auto shotguns would be included in "assault rifle" legislation. Semi shotguns included in AR legislation would be like (in your terms), getting thrown under the bus too. And that would really effect me!
I'm not pathetic, no need to be sad. I do stand up for everyones rights, we all shoot different disciplines but have the same passion for whatever area of shooting we are into. I've spoken at meetings to keep areas open to shooting as mentioned in my other post. I totally understand the anti's divide and conquer strategy.
Having more guns included in any legislation will make it complicated to work out. The gov't will use compromises on some issues to get others through, or at least get user groups to sell out other groups (as you stated) to keep some things they want left in.

In a year or so they’ll be lined up at the cop shops turning in their guns just like in the UK.
Same serf stock.
That is quite a statement. Not sure what it is based on however
Too bad it is not the younger guys that own 75% of the firearms in canada , been in this fight for many years already and support the gun orgs. At least here it is the old guys with the 100's each to lose not the young guys
I wonder who really stands up when the wall comes. Those that have the most to lose or ???
Lets see in Nova Scotia the average age of a hunter buying a big game licence is now over 50 and we will lose 1/3 of theses hunter when the baby boomers turn 65 in 10 years it is said
I am not seeing these young guys back filling here that is for sure or gobbling up the guns when we die or can no longer use them
Few seem to like bluing and wood and sadly NONE have a prohib licence
Cheers

I know both young and old shooters that would gladly throw everyone under the bus, as long as their firearms are left alone. I know several younger firearms owners that have no issue with a long gun registry. I personally don't own any of the tactical style firearms, but I will fight for everyone being able to own and use them, because I realize, that once this style of firearms are banned, the anti gun crowd will go after the hunting firearms next.
