Gentlemen,
..if she gets into the White House in '08? We all joke about CMP getting them out the door before '08. I wonder...The Dem's are already working on a permanent assault weapons ban. Some parts of the new bill state that any firearm that takes a MAGAZINE or CLIP device would be Banned. They state that there might be a grandfather part of the bill. Here in PA their bill states that if you own one of these types of firearms, they must be put on a list and you will pay a fee for each one you own every year. Don't think it wouldn't come to this. Look what happened in England and Australia. Also, they just took them from the people in New Orleans. They just might have the power to do it. All your firearms taken without any compensation. What about many of you guys who, like me, collect them? What do you think might happen?

Thanks again,
Clancy

Who cares? U.S. law doesn't apply here. In any case, M-1 Carbines have already been "hit", up here. They were made evil in 1978.

We should all care what happens to firearm confiscation and control wherever it takes place. Politicians look at other countries and when they see that they can get away with confiscation there, they will try it at home as well rather sooner than later. Be warned :slap:

anything that happens in the US will be imitated here, and anything that happens here will be tried in the US. With liberals (US and canadian sense) victim disarmament is a one-way ratchet. The whole US assault waepons point system - bayo lugs, magazines, pistol grips -was tried here by the burrocrats when they were leading up to C68. It's almost as if Canadian burrocrats have ##### envy of their US counterparts- they will copy their legislation and apply it here, regardless of whether there's a problem or not. After all you don't have to think too much or work too hard when all you have to do is take somebody else's work, translate it into French, and slap a maple leaf on its ass...
 
It would be as soon as a nut job uses one to commit a murder. The govt is just waiting for an excuse to put its Ban plan in motion.
 
i hope not, our law makers like to imitate other countries when they make "progressive" moves.
 
this is bad news if this happened to pass

the libs when back in power will say :look the GUN HAPPY americans banned assault weapons/semi's we NEED to OUTDO them we need to ban even MORE

Good ol' Sunray.... always like to stay positive, eh? :rolleyes:

As others have said, as soon as the U.S. does it, Canada will follow. Any motion might be delayed as long as the conservatives are in power but as soon as the liberals get in again, were f*cked.
 
Its interesting talking about how "Americanized" Canada is with fallowing what the US does, and normally the people complaining about how Americanized Canada is is the same gun grabing left wingers. :runaway:

Yes I can see the Canadian government taking such action, I mean heck were already switching our clocks forward 3 weeks ahead which was an american idea, But I guess were doing it now too.

I don't know much about the government, it's too much for me to rap my head around, but it does seem as though our government is doing a sort of " monkey see monkey do" thing, just my 2 cents.
 
I doubt old C&R's and Milsurps like the Garand and M1 Carbine will be hit nationaly in the United States, the Dems and the Bradys are going after the likes of AR15's and AK's.

But in Canada, it's a different story, The Liberals and the gun control lobby intend to ban guns by category. Register/Restrict/Prohibit/Confiscate. The architect of C68 himself, Alan Rock, recently reiterated his government's intentions: more guns were supposed to be put on the banned list as time went on.

In the United States, there's still veterans parading with Garands on Veteran's Day. In Canada, they're not allowed. This was by design; war is bad, guns are bad, and the ever diminishing ranks of Canadian veterans were supposed to serve as a stark reminder for young Canadians to not join the the Canadian Forces with the foolish intention of soldiering. "Peacekeeping" was the order of the day, and you don't keep peace with a "gratuitous" display of weaponry :rolleyes:

Then 9/11 happened, and the whole world -including Canada- was turned on it's ear.

It would take a couple of decades of uninterrupted LibDem rule before old U.S. Milsurps like the Garand are threatened, but they are working towards that. AR15's today, old US Rifles like the Garand once the public has been conditioned to remove the sentimentality of that.

Can you imagine the howls from the Liberals/NDP, gun control lobby and media if Canadian veterans paraded with Lee Enfields ? :eek:
