I've copied and posted this before in another thread and the Original Poster has a seperate thread on this also but hit back at them legally. Tie them up in so many civil litigations it makes their head spin
They (Polysesuvient) are based in Quebec.
One of the quirks of civil litigation in Quebec, passed by past Quebec governments to discourage/prevent the plebes from suing the Government, is that you cannot be awarded legal fees as damages, unless the litigation was abusive (not frivilous....just abusive. Like burying their counsel in paperwork, knowing you will charged for every second your lawyer has to spend answering)
So even if you win, you lose. This is the tactic the Government of Quebec uses to get money out of people via Revenu Quebec, and more recently, by having any senior with any dementia or brain impairement (aneurism, stroke, etc...) be declared "wards of the state" so that the Gov't then takes over the person's assets and bank account to prevent any kind of "elder abuse", and of course, to guarantee their monies from income tax, inheritance tax, and capital gains tax (once - not if - they sell any immoveable the senior may own) get paid to them. Both tactics depend on a cost/benefit analysis: no one wants to spend $50k fighting the Govt over an assessment or grandma's life savings, knowing that even if they win, they'll still be out alot of money. Quebecers don't have that much disposable income, thanks to the tax regime.
Ask me how I know both of these.
In any case, the point is if we decide to file a litigation suit against them - in Quebec, naturally - they will have to defend themselves. Win or lose, they will have to pay their legal bills out of pocket.
I'm going to suggest we not only outnumber them nationwide, but we can outspend them. For years.
For a nominal amount per month, we could essentially sue them out of existence
Also FRT re-classification is not considered a Law re this, here is the original poster
https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...FRT-is-not-law
With all the reclassifications happening in the FRT lately, it's important that we all remember that the FRT is not law. The FRT is just a bureaucrat's interpretation of the law as it relates to specific firearms -- it's like a Coles Notes of firearms law. While the FRT may be used to inform a police officer's decision as to whether or not to lay charges, for example, it has zero force and effect in court.
The RCMP FRT page says as much:
Legal disclaimer for public use
The Firearms Reference Table (FRT) is not a legal instrument. The FRT is an administrative document created by the RCMP's firearms experts who have, based on criteria in the definitions found in section 84 of the Criminal Code and the supporting Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted SOR/98-462, and the Firearms Act, conducted technical assessments of firearms to assist law enforcement officers, customs officers, and officials responsible for the regulation of firearms with the identification and classification of firearms. The aforementioned Acts and Regulations are the prevailing legal authority with respect to firearm classification.
If you have guns like the Mossberg 715T or any of the other firearms that have been reclassed in the FRT but clearly do not fall under the enumerated models and their varants in the OIC, just a reminder: they're not prohibited just because someone changed a database record.... there has to be a basis in law. Obviously the Crown's argument will be around the word "variant", but that leaves them open to the question of why it wasn't considered a variant prior to the OIC, but is considered a variant now... did the meaning of the word "variant" change, or were they just incompetent before?
Case law is made by having actual test cases. If you own one of the newly-prohib guns that clearly fall outside the OIC, and the thought of a potential stint in prison bothers you less than living in a dictatorship, well.... do with this information as you will...
