This isn't a "win"
Still can't use them, sell them, or give them away

Waiting with cautious trepidation for the OIC challenge judge's decision later this month... Hoping for the best, expecting the worst.

Doesn't this put the end of amnesty right after the Federal election date? Defeated Liberal government not caring anymore about the expiration? Poilievre government not sworn in yet? All of us criminalized and caught in limbo?

Don’t be ridiculous

Has someone compiled data to prove to the idiots out there that the ban has not affected gun crime?
If mr smith wanted to commit a crime, the baby killing rifle is still in his possession so why would he not use it?
There must be sufficient data out there to illustrate the absence of a giant spike down in gun crime.

They know all that. The gun ban is a political move to gain brownie points at gun owners' expense. They know we will never vote liberal, so no votes lost if they throw us under the bus.

I’m not sure why the CCFR had to wave down the government to “not extend the amnesty” because all that did was draw attention and result in the opposite effect. If you wanted to demonstrate incompetence you should have just kept quiet and left the government to deal with the problems they created. That’s when attention should have been drawn.

Now they will use this as a political issue for the next election, do the same old song and dance.

better than having them taking away and getting absolutely nothing for them

I think you are missing the point. If the amnesty had expired, it would have turned a lot of people into criminals over night through the sheer incompetence of the government. Could you imagine the optics on that? There was no viable plan ever put in place by the LPC to prevent this from happening. From my perspective this would lead to grandfathering and it would have been up to the CPC to turn it around legislatively.

Lastly in regards to your comment, about taking them away and getting absolutely nothing …what situation do you think you are in right now? You paid for a product that you cannot use and it’s locked away in a safe/container.

No, but I didn't expect it to be extended into October 2025, only 5 days after the latest possible election date :D

Lolno.

Unless you're moving. They'll give you an att for that.

It specifically lists the firearm cert numbers of only legally registered prohibs and restricted, (NR for Qc). It does not list any "administratively expired" certificates. They do not have the power to register or issue that
