An update on ATRS vs the federal government action.

[alberta tactical rifle]

That's not really an accurate description of what the procedural Order in CCFR v Canada said. The FRT argument is very much alive and well in our case and we've received confirmation and clarity on that from Justice Gagne, who ruled that in our case:

"[32] ... the legal issue of sub-delegation can form part of the Applicants’ challenges to the Regulations. This means that in their challenges to the Regulations, the Applicants can refer to the FRT as well as to the fact that firearms they own received new technical opinions following the promulgation of the Regulations. In that sense, the mere existence of technical opinions is, in my view, still very much on the table.
[33] The Applicants will be able to argue that the words “variant” and “modified version” found in the Regulations led the GIC to impermissibly sub-delegate its authority to the RCMP by way of the FRT...."

Justice Gagne dismissed an application we brought for permission to review some or all of the FRT decisions as separate decisions in our case, and confirmed that we can instead carry on to attack the whole regime, which is what we wanted to do in the first place, and which is exactly what we are still doing.

As always we've got a discussion going in our group if you want to drop in and participate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CCFR.CCDAF/permalink/2573421112781944

Let’s just keep this front and centre, between this approach and wolverines we have plenty reason to remain optimistic.

Ok now I understand you are hoping the government gives the money back vs ATRS coughing it up on their own. This mess was all started by a selfish customer.

Get this straight. This mess was all started by Truedeau, Blair and every ####### in this country who voted for them

 

[nof60]

Just sent another 50 your way.

 

[robab]

in for another small donation

In my opinion, the best way to "repay" our donations if we win would be to crank out rifles/receiver-combos. Like, around the clock. Complete guns, barreled receivers, or just receivers; whatever you can. I don't want anything back from you guys except the chance to buy your rifles again, and a lot of them.

Popcorn thought. If you want to “repay” everyone who donated to the legal fund. Why not give only the people who donated the chance at buying a custom receiver set or barrel or something like that. So at some time in the future, those who helped win the fight can silently brag when they pull out their custom, whatever, out of a case. Win/win!

I really like this idea!

I think the kids these days would call that a "flex"

A Modern Sporter with a small custom engraving or specialized serial number set? I really like the idea!

Maybe a steaming turd with an X on it?

 

[AirCanada]

Possibly make a contest of it by asking for submissions from the community as to what it would be.

Another popcorn thought !

I like this idea!! Let me run it by our legal dept to see if they can see any snags as far as ALGC is concerned.

 

[Morc]

I also approve of this custom receiver set idea.

 

[UR2X3M4ME]

Or special engraving or the likes. I have 6 receivers held in the shop that could benefit from it

June 29th update.
Ed and team were in court today for several hours presenting arguments in front of Judge Gagne. Many were heard from both sides, a few dismissed but the important ones stood.
Now we wait for her decision as she has reserved decision for now.

Sorry we were hoping for more concrete info to pass along but it could be worse. Her decision could have been an instant and unfavourable one. Reserved is not always bad.
More to follow as we get it.
