    Anyone remember the .460 challenge Bob Prestash had when he owned Phoenix Guns in Edmonton centuries ago.?

    Anyone want to comment? He He He He He He.

    Some of you buggers are still alive. And have the bruise to show it.

    Never heard about this 10k Jewel thing until now. Not surprised. But has a crime ever been committed with one of those, ever?

I wonder what compensation the government would be will to do if they were to confiscate it if it goes to prohib? (hate calling it a buy back when they never owned them in the first place)
    I am assuming with having it coming in a couple of weeks means the Gun has not entered Canada yet. It is my understanding a prohibited Gun can not be imported into Canada. If that is the case Govt. Lawyers may argue Govt. will not be liable to compensate and CBSA will either return to Sender or she goes into the Burner.

    Perhaps wiser to have the 577 mailed to his PH for safekeeping.

    Any Canadian can still own anything prohibited including Guns but just not possess it within Canadian Borders.

    The Lawyers will love it.

    Cheers

    I believe that the rifles capable of this are being targetted because they would be the single most effective tool for a sufficiently dedictated individual should they decide to prematurely unseat an overreaching elected official, to put it nicely.

    If one anticipates a more and more unstable future, the likelihood of such a dedicated person arising amongst the capable (read: armed) population increases.

    I believe limiting this potential risk to government officials was the single most important intent behind this particular aspect of the OIC.
    And this OIC does nothing to stop this “what if”. They know that. It’s intent is to ban more private property, period.

    the people who are capable of such a task are unwilling to carry it out, if only by virtue of being law abiding. The individuals that prohibition does not reach are the ones with the capacity and inclination for such violence. Are we doomed to fight future crimes at the expense of those who would have already been beyond the scope of criminality? What incentive do we have for obeying laws that would criminalize us?

    If I were to claim that firearms ownership is living as my most authentic self why is that less valuable than if I were to claim an alternate gender identity? Is that not inherently a limitation of my section 7 rights to personal freedom under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

    Exactly. This is a fringe segment of the firearms market. Their assumption is that the majority of firearms users will sit this one out, as it doesn't impact them personally. And so we fall, one domino at a time.
