Honest question. There are 3 FRT databases... that i know of:
The PDF copy that is updated periodically
The "non-live" version (i think dealers can access) also updated periodically
And the "Live" version that's showing these updates and the MS as Prohibited...
Which version does LEO have access to? because they all contradict one another right now and say different things for some of these guns...
Are they actually prohib if all 3 FRT's say different things and how is any LEO or anyone else for that matter supposed to know WTF class they actually are anymore?
This would be like a company who builds high performance Shelby Cobra kit cars who then turns around and retools their line to drop inline 6 motors in them with a 2 speed transmission. All because the govt ‘banned’ cars that had motors with high displacement and lack of modern safety equipment.
A.) why would anyone even think of owning one? (In this case a bolt action MS)
B.) why would anyone capitulate to such a level
This is how they win. They make an arbitrary and baseless decision such as to add the MS to the prohib list and we just fall in line. That’s what they want.
“Oh ok.. guess I’ll buy a bolt/pump action AR then :’(“
No.
They only have power if we give it to them.
This explanation confirms what any sensible person already knew.
Running a business and staying on the right side of government regulation at the best of times is difficult and expensive, infinitely more so if that business is firearm related and the government is the leftist freedom hating dictatorship of Justin Trudeau and his band of idiots.
I've seen your work. It's second to none. It would be a true travesty to lose your successful business due to government bureaucracy. Ironically the same bureaucracy that you paid thousands of dollars to in various taxes.
I'm happy to contribute to any legal effort. Even if it is unsuccessful it will make it as difficult and expensive as possible for this bunch of Communists.
I think I feel so invested in this issue (aside from owning their products) is because this is what the future holds for many of us. Doesn’t matter what industry, it can and likely will happen if things don’t change, to many of us here.
The aviation industry has many parallels to the firearm business. Especially my small niche.
I can feel the stress and turmoil the boys at ATRS are feeling just through their posts. These guys have everything on the line. Now they have the very real threat of losing it all due to an arbitrary decision made by the regime in power.
In cases Like this it’s not so much the money that is at issue. It’s the time and effort. The soul poured into their product and dreams. They can’t get this back. No amount of money could replace it.
It is in the most literal sense, priceless.
To devote your life to something only to have it swept out from under your feet because some pencil pushing, spaghetti wrist politician says so is soul crushing.
I’ve been there.
Even though I’m not a part of ATRS, I will fight as if I am. Because one day, they will come for me.
This kind of dictatorial action must be stopped in its tracks before the powers at be really figure out they can get away with it.
These are people who get addicted to such a thing.
It’s what they live for.
We may live to be free to grow, to build and to prosper in our communities.
These people live to subjugate, to tear down and to control any aspect of life they can to meet their own malevolent ends.
ATRS is just one company under the gun currently. If they fail. We all fail. It’s only a matter of time.

The first and ONLY notification we have received from the RCMP regarding the prohibition that happened on May 1st.
I'll point out, our MH, MV, and MS are not mentioned. (By make and model, and their variants) We were deemed not a variant in the inspection report.
More fuel.
