ATRS Update: May 20th 2020 Re: MS / MH / MV

Agreed.

1.) A single resource pool so there's no wasted funds sitting around. Less confusion for donation.
2.) A single laser focused PR/Media to broadcast updates. Make a website.
3.) Gather all the "legal brains" to work on these from different angles(FRT, OIC, Charter etc)

We need a nation-wide billboard campaign, promoting the various legal uses for firearms.

Last month people were selling HK416 uppers, m203 grenade launchers, etc. on the EE.
Today, a small shop in Alberta has to close down because their entire lineup has been banned.
Everything changed in a blink of an eye, what a nightmare we’re living in.

Yep. And next month M1s/SkS will be banned.

i think a couple lawsuits on different merits is a good idea
currently another vendor has a criminal lawsuit and 1 or 2 of the formal organizations have OIC challenges
i would like to see something around this FRT abuse and would contribute to same

For the life of me I cannot understand why the 3 Karen's and their organization's are not getting served for restitution and damages.

Poly is directly attacking 49k employees and thousands of small businesses.

Hit back.

Ottawa just loves to keep beating up Alberta Business.

You think in the craziness they could leave Canadian manufacturers alone.

On the surface seems like a good idea to me too, I'm have no formal knowledge of the law and court system etc, but seems on the surface to a layperson like a good mvoe. If the gov is being challenged on 3 or 4 different fronts something will come of it. Similar what they do to us, the old death by a thousand cuts type move.

I follow the main gun control mealy mouths on Twitter. They have zero sympathy for gun businesses. Their opinion is that importers and manufacturers "should have known better than to invest in assault weapons in Canada". They also know very well that the increase in gun sales the last few years was almost entirely due to these NR black rifles. If gun stores go out of business, Poly will be happy.

Poly won’t be happy until every legal gun owner is behind bars. The gang shootings will continue but they will have reached their goal of civil disarmament.

I sure can't afford a rifle from you guys but I sure can donate to the cause, we're all in it together

What these gun-grabbing retards tend to not grasp is the fact the world runs on money. We can’t continue to print money and have it mean anything.

These business shutting down cause a loss of jobs for people. These people effectively now require to go on some sort of assistance, such as EI... which THEIR tax dollars went towards, so rightfully so.
EI and other handouts come from tax money brought in... by those that work.

You’ve effectively cut the hand that feeds you by closing businesses and increasing unemployment rates.

And let’s face it, we know most of the people screaming and REEEEEEing the loudest are all ones that get some sort of payout because they’re too incompetent to do anything meaningful with their lives.

We’’re going into a depression - and less businesses and employees means less income from the government.
Mind you, I don’t think they’ve grasped this concept - but it’s been my main means of conveying how stupid it is to layman people or those on the fence about the gun grab.

7 million guns, $1000/piece is 7 billion. I would like compensation for all my scopes and accessories that become useless now too (and as I’m a non criminal, and ‘would be compliant’ that’s not too fair to ask right?). So maybe $2000 on the low side per gun/accessories = 14 billion.

14 billion *if* we all comply and there’s no addition of logistical and man power required to actually take in the guns.
A loss of multi billion dollars each year from spending on these firearms and accessories, all of which is taxed and is revenue for Canada.
And don’t forget the newly laid off folks now tapping into an already overloaded/burdened EI/CERB market.

What a way to jump start the economy by effectively spending 14+ billion on something already proven to have 0 effects on ‘gun violence’
