Jaws,
You are 100% right.
The RCMP is a "law enforcemnt force" employed by the government ( ulitimately us the taxpayers ) to enforce the laws made by elected officials in legislation.
The RCMP is not a body that is permitted to MAKE LAWS and this has to be taken to supreme court of Canada to stop these bully tactics so often employed by the RCMP and by extension the Canadian Firearms Center.

@Wolverine - Would you be interested in starting an online petition (change.org) type thing.
Maybe not specifically about the 10/22 but certainly regarding the fascist way that the RCMP are allowed to alter the law as they see fit in a very concerning conflict of interest for the Canadian public.

Thanks John, wish we had more stand up dealers like you!

So much for fairness, justice, due process, rule of law and that crap. It appears the our national police force are not only tasked to enforce the law but also make it up as they go along. Someone in Ottawa needs a quick hard kick in the ass.
As a retailer of this product, could Wolverine contact the manufacturers and get them involved legally. They have deeper pockets and probably have legal counsel on payroll.
RCMP pulls this crap because they know that the average owner has neither the means, nor inclination to fight. The manufacturers have a financial vested interest. This change is arbitrary at best. The rcmp will use our own tax dollars to fight us. We pay twice.
While this change by the rcmp holds no legal merit since they haven't actually changed the law (since they cannot), they would no doubt be called as expert witnesses who's opinion carries weight. Having said this, their change in opinion may indeed result in harassment of people in legal possession. There will be officers towing the company line that will do the bidding of their politically charged superiors.
