Aren't these prohibited now or am I mistaken?

So if an unknowing buyer with good intentions buys a newly prohibited firearm from an unknowing seller and they both go through the legal hoops of getting a firearm transfer approval from the federal overlords and properly ship the firearm adhering to Canada Post rules and Regs who goes to jail? Buyer, seller everyone?

Neither.

The "unknowing" buyer will not be able to take possession - transfer will not be approved. Items will be relisted, and the buyer will first pay tge auction fee and taxes for buying the item, then again the auction fees for selling and if it sells for less, have to eat that loss.
 
Not the first time this auction is selling prohibited items. They know what they are doing.

If I recall you work at a gun store. If your BFL has prohibited firearm and device privileges, you can buy them to enjoy at work. I do.

Though the start prices are on the high side imo.

Ignorance is not a defense.

Unless you are part of a privileged client group of the Liberals.

In that case you can commit just about any crime and will be tried before a very understanding Judge.

How so? The firearm is or was not a restricted item; there is no "transfer" to be approved, merely a PAL verification, which does not include any information about the firearm or other item in question. If the buyer's PAL is valid, it will be confirmed as such, and that's the end of it.

I'm not saying that there might not be future repercussions if info about this particular item or transaction is brought to light...perhaps by idiotic posts on a public forum?...but the PAL verification will proceed as described, and up to that point nothing illegal has been done.

I wonder if the OP also has his own traffic radar unit and sets up alongside the road, with the local cops on speed dial if he catches somebody going over the limit?
