Is a form of registration. See page 185 in 2017 federal budget.
CONFIRMED...SEND IT!
If you are at the range, or hunting or driving with some commonly already imported firearm such as an SKS, and you are stopped by RCMP, dnr or whoever will you have to provide proof that you owned it before the date this foolishness comes into effect. Also, if you import a firearm that is determined to be too rare or valuable to deface, won't some form of paperwork and registration have to be tied to that firearm, to prove that it was exempt? Can see this being a bigger issue than just a minor inconvenience, but why should I be skeptical of something the selfie queen approves of..
Hmmmm, wondering what this will do for the firearm sales here in Canada. To my understanding, all firearms presently owned prior to June 2017 will not have to be marked. The firearms that WILL be marked will have a higher price tag due to the costs of marking. However, the pre-marked firearms will have a much higher demand as they will not be marked or defaced, and therefore will also have a higher resale value. I am planning on buying a few more before this nonsense starts, and then my gun purchasing will be over . Maybe this is the intention, as I cannot see how this nonsense can possibly prevent crime, the intention is clear to cripple the firearm industry.
That means buy lots of guns. I heard the date effect is july 1st not june 1st. Can someone check out if i am right?
