Anyone else notice that this announcement came into effect on International Communism's long time annual Day of Celebration, the 1st. of May?
And henceforth and forever more we should refer to the LPC, Liberal Party of Canada, as the PLPC, the Peoplekind's Liberal Party of Canada.
This is a ####ing tragedy. I won’t one of the most expensive on the list. They can blow me though, short of paying me every last cent, I won’t give it up. I’ll grandfather it or id rather donate to a museum as a FU
You would give your firearm if they paid you every last cent for it, with your own money taxed from you by force, or taxed from your decendants and their inheritants?
You won't give it up, except if you give it up to a museum where it can be neutered and put in a glass coffin where it will never be shot again, where it can act as a scarecrow to anyone considering buying interesting firearms in the future.
The only appropriate FU to the government is to keep your gun. No matter what. Until such time that you no longer wish to own it, free from government interference.
I didn't see the Tavor listed. Did I miss it? Yes, I know it's not a milsurp.
What about the Garand?
There hasn't been a mass shooting committed with the Tavor in Canada, so he doesn't get any votes for banning it.
Alternatively, maybe Trudeau doesn't consider palestinians as people, and therefore the Tavor wasn't designed to kill the greatest number of people in the shortest period of time possible.
As for the garand, there are lots of M1s on the list, and the designation is irrespective of chambering.
The garand predates the M14, and so shouldn't be considered a variant of the M14, but it wouldn't be the first time that the spineless coward drones at the SFSS deemed parent firearm to be a descendant of a child.
What about Mas36/51 or Yugo SKS's? Do those fall under the 20mm ban due to the addition of the grenade launchers? I'm not sure if I'm reading it right.
Do you want them to be prohibited? Would you do something differently if they were?
If you have a grenade launcher mounted to the side of a rifle, the launcher is prohibited while the rifle is not.
"The legislation has been directly linked in multiple threads."
Yep, comments about just turning AR-15 lowers the last few weeks and bingo now uppers have to be turned in also. Coincidence I think not!
Uppers do not need to be turned in. There is an amnesty. Further, uppers are not registered, never have been.
The prohibition of uppers is an admission that the liberal idiots who wrote this law don't even know existing laws, or the technical features of a firearm.
It is also a legally expedient way of correcting what should have been the case all along. The upper is a part of the whole receiver. Logically, the definition of a receiver should have included uppers and lowers together. After all, it is the upper which holds the barrel, it is the upper from which the shot is fired, and it is the upper which contains the BCG and gas system which makes auto loading possible.
The lower simple makes the feeding of ammunition and activation of the firing pin convenient.
But in truth, the receiver should never have been considered important at all, because at the end of the day, to fire a bullet, which is the part that actually hurts people, all you really need is the barrel and a hammer.
Is the grenade attachment on the list for the NO 1 enfield? I didn't see it but may have been looking at the wrong numbers/description.
Wouldn't matter if it was or not. If it is a standalone firearm, with a bore diameter greater than 20mm, it is prohib. The list is just a non-exclusive list of examples.
SAM’s (Surface to Air Missiles) are on the list for ####s sakes.
Which probably don't even meet the definition of firearm. HOwever, the inclusion of these 'firearms' can be used in legal arguments to show the arbitraryness of the law.
The Rate of fire of a MILAN anti-tank missile system is clearly not designed to kill a great number of people quickly. It is designed to destroy a tank with a typical crew of three to five people from long range with a rate of fire measured in the single digit rounds per minute.
M1A is the civilian version of the M14... still sh*tty though
Which M1A are you talking about.
The M1A garand is very much a rifle designed for military use. The M14 replaced it. The current production run of Springfield M1A are used by both civilians and the US military.
So maybe instead of protests, and letters, and hand wringing, we should organize a go-fund-me to pay a smart pro-gun lawyer to tie this up in court for a few years?
Not being sarcastic or facetious, I'm genuinely curious about how much support there would be for a court challenge, and whether it's a viable course of action.
Be careful of go fund mes. A lot of them are scams. The big four gun orgs are already launching court challenges, with or without your help. But they need your help. It is a very viable course of action as there are some fairly grave technical and substantive issues with these bans. But they need your help.
This morning I checked to make sure all my gun org memberships were up to date, and made additional donations.
If every affected owner donated the cost of a case of ammo, our gun orgs would have a legal fund of more than 80,000,000.
Given the range closures, most of us have been saving money on ammo anyways.
Ask Burlew. More productive than b!tching and whining on CGN. I'm in for a retainer donation.
I am certain he would already have been engaged by the gun orgs.
