This is a registry, plain and simple.

Did you ask it if it identifies as a registry, or did you just assume?

This is a registry, plain and simple.

The one benefit to this system is that this retarded registry is split up into 1000 different pieces and is held by citizens/private company's. (To be fair, this is good and bad. Good the government doesn't directly have, bad because joe shmoe doesn't need to keep records of all my personal info in an excel spreadsheet on some laptop in the back office of a gunstore.)

but seriously, jesus christ wtf is this bs

Thank god I sold all my rifles already.
It’s a damn shame I had to cancel my Bren 2 pre order, but it’s not worth having when they are just going to confiscate it as soon as they have everyone’s info.

My gun license is going dormant from this point forward, thankfully it’s already valid until 2027 and hopefully Justin has came out as trans and ran for UN leader by then.

So, in the case of a NR firearm getting deemed prohibited, will the businesses that sold these be forced to turn over records? Or do they only turn over records if they cease to be a business?

This country's leaders are a joke.

I’m sure the CFO is keeping a copy in their files as well.

This is 100% a registry. It’s complete and utter BS

Does this make anyone else feel like just saying “#### off” to all our ridiculous rules?

I honestly don’t feel super compelled to follow tyrannical rules in a tyrannical system.

I’m sure most of them changed hands several times.. didn’t need to phone it in prior to the 18th, when I sold my guns I just verified a valid pal in person and went on my way, others went consignment at stores and I had nothing to do with the transaction.

Everyone is safer now. Thank you Dear Leader…..Trudeau ‘Making Canada Hate Again’

That looks like what Canadian Tire has been doing for years.

And that got nothing to do with private sales.
