Is there anything that can be legally done at this point to repeal this decision? Are there any lawyers that are working on this? Maybe we can donate money to their time and effort?

Clearly states grandfathering is in the clause:

The government official said that, at the end of the two-year amnesty, gun owners must dispose of the firearm or they may be able apply for the firearm to be "grandfathered." Details on the grandfather process would be released at a later date, the official said.

You guys got to start reading and not talk out of your... that place.

So everyone should declare that they have disposed their guns. Without proof haha

http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2020/2020-05-01-x3/html/sor-dors96-eng.html

During the amnesty period, the Government intends to
implement a buy-back program to compensate affected
owners for the value of their firearms after they are deliv-
ered to a police officer; however, until a buy-back program
is offered, affected owners will not be eligible for compen-
sation. An option to participate in a grandfathering regime
would also be made available for affected owners. Further
public communications on the buy-back program and the
grandfathering regime will follow later.
The Regulations and the Amnesty Order come into force
on the day they are made. The Amnesty Order expires on
April 30, 2022

You are to late! Money should have been raised and spent in the beginning.
Not after the fact!
Worry about whether they pay you and it's taxable. The Court's are pretty well closed at present.
So, it was a good play by the Governmemt

uppers are prohib now too...

Yes, I would be willing to contribute a significant amount of money to this because no matter what happens, I stand to loose a fair amount anyway. Might as well go for broke, so to speak... And forget a buyback, we will never get fair value because it’s not only the firearms, there are the scopes, bases, rings, ammo, etc. And how do you quantify loss of enjoyment? To me, that’s worth a lot!!

I’m sure it’s been mentioned. But shouldn’t every Pal holder get a letter saying that they may be affected by this? If you don’t look at the news. And who does it’s so depressing , you’d never know of these new rules That took place today?

There is another thread going on about this BS

Supposedly Tracey at the CCFR confirmed that deactivation will be required for grandfathering
Apparently it was confirmed at a technical meeting she was at getting details about the ban.

this makes zero sense you dont need grandfathering if something is deact its not a firearm....

Right. So I lost my job. And unemployed. And the govt just took away one of my assets for fun and store of value.

Nice...

I think we should initiate a class action to challenge this.

Can we take a legal challenge? John
