And thats why the number of prohibs went up in 2016?

All prohibs that are registered, regardless of subclass.
2015 there were 182,500. In 2016 there were 183,300. Someone speculated that the movie industry was to blame for the increase.

And the thing we need to remember is that those prohibs are not gone. They dont evaporate when the owner dies. They are simply no longer legally registered.
The number of seized and surrendered firearms annually doesnt come close to accounting for them, so many simply go underground. If recovered later they will all be deemed domestically sourced crime guns, even if never used in a violent crime.

This is a really neat thread - complements to the OP.
49 years old according to my ID, but I'm immortal and completely puzzled as to why any of you would bother to keep count. I WILL BE THE LAST ONE.
I have 13 handguns in my safe, only one of them is NOT prohibited: a gen 1 .40 Walther P99 (no idiot barrel sticking out of the frame, plus James Bond coolness).
Glock 23 gen 2, two of them, one has Laser Devices BA-2 that fits onto the frame very neatly - who needs a gen 3? The second was a recent rescue from a 76 year old client who
is in terminal condition in the hospital as we speak - both of us wanted no part of the that great melting pot in Ottawa (BASTARDS!) for such a fine handgun.
Smith & Wesson 10 2"; Smith & Wesson 19 2 1'2"; Smith & Wesson 36 2"; Smith & Wesson 64 2"; Smith & Wesson 66 2 1/2"; Smith & Wesson 686 2 1/2";
Smith & Wesson 6906; Smith & Wesson 6904; Ruger GP100 4" stainless; Colt Detective Special 2" blue, even has marks from the police dept. that used to own it (awesome).
Heavyduti, if you're reading this, I dearly miss the Smith 60 that I traded to you for that Glock 23.
Brenneke (I think), I would say the same for the Smith 629 3" I sold to you, except that thing was PUNISHING and also a whole new level of pain.

At 66 I own many handguns most of which are prohibited. The nickel Colt King Cobra and the SW M-29 in 44 mag being my favorites. Yes we are a dwindling breed with no way out in sight. Like WW II veterans, once we were many, now we are few.
If that particular part of the legislation goes through, it will create new classes of Prohibited licenses specifically for the VZ58 and Swiss Arms guns. You would be grandfathered into that class, but it would only allow you to own other prohibs of the same class... So if you have a VZ58 now, you'd only be able to own other VZ58's.
It wouldn't let you own prohib pistols, converted automatics, etc.

Only the CZ 858s are going prohib. The CSA VZ58s are not. IN any event, the way that C71 is currently written, owners of prohibited 858s will be permitted to buy other prohib 858s only, and will not be eligible for any other grandfather privileges to own prohibs under 12.2-12.6 of the firearms act.

Then take them outside.
Under the firearms act, the permitted purposes for transporting prohibited firearms that are not a prohibited 12.6.1 handgun are as follows:
I take my 12.5 rifle to the range to confirm its functionality for appraisal purposes at least twice a year.
You can also take it gun shows if you want, regardless of whether or not you intend to offer it for sale.
