    Post Handgun Freeze Update from CSAAA

    HANDGUN FREEZE UPDATE FROM CSAAA: https://mailchi.mp/2b7e34e0e76a/the-...e?e=2b5181a8c3

    There is still a fair amount of uncertainty that exists surrounding implementation timelines for the handgun freeze. Unfortunately, we as a business do not receive much more information than the public.

    We understand that there might be a rush to purchase a pistol as it is now or never for some folks.

    Please note that if you are planning to visit our webstore within the next couple days, please ensure to enter PAL and Address details correctly in the checkout phase to ensure orders are processed efficiently.

    Please refer to our FAQs: https://www.westernmetal.ca/faqs/ for ordering steps.

    Thank You,

    Western Metal Team

    Thank you for the update! As a consumer, it's such a weird spot to fluctuate between panic buying something surplus and holding off for something beautiful that might never come in. We all need clarity, eh?

    Nothing is coming in. Buy what you can now. Tomorrow or Saturday there will be no new transfers started. These are the last days to ever purchase a handgun in Canada ever again. There will be no reversal regardless of what people dream the CPC "might do".

    More speculation. The transfer freeze might not happen until C-21 is passed several weeks or months from now.
    Might as well go buy privately a used gun vs the extortionist prices Western Metal has listed here

    They had their hands slapped for bypassing the democratic process when they banned the AR's by OIC. Now they have banned import permits for handguns, why would they bother banning the transfer or sale when they have already put an absolute limit on the amount that are in Canada. They might as well go through parliament instead of using the OIC which will cause a bunch more court cases to be started.

    Exactly! I’ve been saying that for weeks..
    Prohib owners can still transfer between prohib owners and does Wendy or the general public care ? No.


    Liberals can avoid more bad press and another PP slap, skip the OIc and even if the legislation is shot down.. they have still banned the importation, which is a quasi ban.
    Buyer pays shipping and insurance on any EE sale unless explicitly stated otherwise in the ad or agreed upon as part of the deal.

    All posts made by me are my opinion, and you must do your own research

    If I was them, I'd take it really slow, all the way into the next elections, to maximize the publicity. Why spending all of that in one year. They know as well as we all do that this ban is purely a public stint designed to generate extra votes and has nothing to do with public safety, whatsoever.

    Thinking the same. If they get a freeze through and gun crime continues to escalate they will never have the time to put together the amount of work it would take for a ban/buyback and it will look like everything they have done was not enough and a failure. They will get far more capital out of this if they let it simmer and then drop the hammer after Jag wakes up and gets out of bed knowing he has been molested by a guy in pretty socks, and says time for people to choose.
    An hour late is still on time for people who aren’t coming
