Apparent LEO told me my Tavor was going prohib this morning.
- Thread starter DVX
- Start date
My 2 cents... The big blanket ban is coming, it's in the works now, and sadly just a matter of time, first they'll restrict them to control their use and identify who has them, then later down the road, they'll prohibit them, because then they know you got 'em. They'll fall under a new grandfather clause at best, at worst, they'll go the way the FAMAS and others did. Zero compo, turn it for destruction.
Seen this happen 20 odd years ago, and Canadians being law-abiding citizens will do what they're told, and remember once the ban is in effect and you're somehow caught with one, you end up with a record, court, maybe jail and being heavily fined.
Only saying this because I was caught up in it before, lived it and the stress, and lost $1000's. Prior to this I did not believe the rumours and thought 'this could never happen in Canada'.

A long time ago, I read a story in the reader's digest, they used to have a page or 2 about stories that was titled "That's Outrageous ". A guy with a clean driving record was doing 110kph on the 401 NE of toronto. He got pulled over and ticketed for doing 10km/h over the limit. Went to court to fight it, and the judge ruled against him. He got pissed off, as personally my experience is even if you're doing 100 in the slowest lane, trucks will literally almost run you over. He got 3 friends and did what you suggested, side by side down the 401 at rush hour, 911 was flooded with calls. Cops stopped him again. For doing "the limit", and charged him with some weird law and he again went to court where the judge chided him and gave him and his buddies hefty fines for public mischief. All because he ruled that you aren't allowed to prevent people from breaking the highway traffic act.
I wouldn't be trying that personally.
Just found this as well:
"Don't Pay With too Much Change!
While it won't make you a law-breaker, according to Canada's Currency Act of 1985, there are limits to the#number of coins#you can use in a transaction. Now that we've put the kibosh on the old penny, are you accumulating nickels? If it’s nickels, vendors can say no to any purchase over $5, while the loonie limit is $25.
