This.
I've gone off the deep end several times on long winded rants about how much I think the 10/22 is an over-rated gun. Mine is a safe queen, due to the fact I have other more accurate, more reliable, semi-auto .22s (and even have 25 round sticks for them).
Still went and bought a couple extra Butler Creek mags on Tuesday when all this started to break, took them, the mags I laready have (including a couple of the GSG drums) to the range, and used it all to burn through 500 rounds.
Because screw this RCMP decision. They're the ones unclear on the law.
In a free and democratic country, the Police don't get to write the law of the land.
Over the past 5 years, we've seen increasing flexing by the RCMP - Tatla Lake, High River, 858/Swiss Arms reclassification, bullying retailers and CBSA over Beowulf and LAR mags. This is a police force who's leadership is out of control and on a power trip. If we don't start exercising a bit of polite non-compliance, they're just going to keep flexing.
The RCMP has become an organisation dangerous to the fundamental freedoms of all Canadians.
You are right! With most things if you are caught with a prohibited device will get you charged.
Just take a look at Airborneboi69 post that says it all. They do not want a big uproar so that is why (if caught) they placed a 30 day window for the public to pin their mags or forward to officers for disposal.
We operate Wolverine Supplies with in the law, we have far to much at stake to operate any other way. If I operated Wolverine Supplies in accordance with internet rumours and policy dictated by some officials we would have to have stopped selling Mini 14 rifles, AR 15 rifles and all "Fifty BMG" rifles years ago, that is not the case. Sadly we are sold out of the mags in question and the importer is waiting for the smoke to clear before placing another order.
Right now this is a rumour but stay vigilant there is a saying "There is no smoke with out fire." so we need to show a strong united front, not run scared because of rumours and ideal speculation.
The increasingly tyrannical RCMP and regressive-leftists of the Trudeau Liberals must be concerned about mass non-compliance.
The compliance with the long gun registry was what? 50%? 60%?
There are literally millions of these 25 round mags out there...most owned by those holding non-res licenses.
And before I get attacked, no, I'm not promoting "illegal" acts. I've always complied with the law of the land re: firearms. I'm simply stating an obvious issue.

Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
