    Why would the gov't be afraid of armed citizens? You mean they'd screw us over even more if not afraid of revolt?

    When they did this in 1978/1995, not one supported the people who were loosing out.
    Now everyone is loosing out, it becomes an issue.
    Sitting on the fence was what the Liberal's were counting on, and they were right

    I remember C68 years ago. This will go the same. People will make a fuss, but ultimately will be parted with their property unjustly. A couple diehards will make a fuss and do some jail time. But people would rather sell out a little freedom to avoid a total loss of freedom.

    I wonder if we could apply to the US as refugees fleeing cruel and unfair government.

The firearms act clearly gives the power to prohibit firearms, devices etc. to the governor in council.

He also said military style weapons not just rifles. This opens up the real possibility that all those nice semi-auto shotguns used in 3 gun competitions will be gone along with a bunch of other firearms. If they follow the NZ example they will also ban ownership of any significant part of a banned firearm.
    Thanks for the thoughtful reply. OIC's are riciculous. Wtf

    You're probably right. In any event the government could include a clause in in the confiscation legislation that section 74 is not applicable.

    Does anyone know a good source of stastics on gun violence, vis a vis, how many of various types of firearms are used in crime and whether they were legally obtained etc? Do the firarms organizations have these statistics? Do the police? That sort of information would be really helpful in mounting opposition to a pointless and expensive buyback.

    You guys should watch the Hollywood movie "In Time" starring Justin Timberlake. This movie portrays what our future will become.
