Now that we have a CPC majority how would one go about lobbying for this?

Non-restricted AR's, no registry, normal cap mags and C68 down the sh!tter, not necessarily in that order :D
 
I'm writing letters to the new cabinet once they are announced.

We need to constantly remind them that we are their best supporters, but our donation dollars are tied to RESULTS!
 
To my limited understanding of an OIC, the only way to overturn one is to challenge it through the Supreme Court of Canada.
 
are these things restricted due to length or the nature of the gun? if its length why hasnt someone like norinco made one thats a little longer to meet the length laws? :)
 
it sure would be nice if they weren't restricted... i'd definitely add one the the collection

just have to wait n see

and ask nicely the conservative mp's to do it...
 
Scrap Bil C-68, open full auto ownership at least, they can enforce there social engineering through the license system as is, we need it all back,I want Freedom....................................FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM
 
In regards to the AR15, it has been taken off the restricted list before.

The Liberal Bill C-51 of 1978 imposed F.A.C.s, banned full automatics which had been previously restricted like handguns and registered, and imposed the SBR rules which are still in force today.

It also put many "named" firearms on the restricted list, such as the AR15. A campaign was fought by the firearms community of the day to prevent this, but the bill went through and became law.

In the federal election of 1980, the PC Party of Joe Clark promised firearms law reform if elected. They were, but delivered on little of that. One reform that did take place was the removal of the AR15 from the restricted list.

The full 20" rifle version that is. Virtually every AR15 in the country at the time was a Colt, so while the Colt SP1 went non restricted the 16" Colt carbine stayed restricted due to barrel length.

Joe was defeated very quickly, and the Liberals under Trudeau regained power. Firearms laws were static until 1985 when some firearms reclassification took place with the FN FAL going restricted under the Mulroney Red Tories, and Kim Campbell's infamous Bill C-17 in 1992 which banned and restricted many firearms in an attempt to get the Red Tories re elected after the 1989 Montreal/Lepine atrocity.

The AR15 has been on the restricted list since 1992. The Liberals had originally intended that AR15s and all other semi autos were to be prohibited under C68 in 1995, but a last ditch plea by Dominion of Canada Rifle Association (DCRA) the governing body for service rifle competition in Canada, kept it restricted.

But it was only meant to be a delay to help get the C68 legislation passed. The Liberals prepared an OIC that would ban the AR15, Mini 14 and other military style semi autos after C68 became law and the controversy went away.

It was thankfully never imposed.

None of this is set in stone, and yes it can change. But you have to get vocal and active in defense of your firearms freedom if these ridiculous firearms classifications are to be amended.

I think if the AR is de-restricted, I will be back into the AR game - not because I really care for the AR design, but just because I would be able to - freely. It would be a statement.
