    Kinda like having 2 license plates on a vehicle will prevent accidents, impaired driving or cars being used in crimes. Liberal logic at its finest.

    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.

    And this, right here, is the desired result. Not safety, not traceability, none of that. Encourage people to get out of the fight, discourage newcomers from getting into it at all.

    If the markings will have a large impact on the value, the gun is exempt.

    Why the hell didn't harper scrap this law, rather than postpone it over and over?? Seems like another example of how Harper screwed us...

    But it is useless, and fits with the Liberals incrementalist approach to deterring firearms ownership and use.
