Folks,
This is a great thread, and I wish it would come true, but as someone pointed out earlier, there would need to be repeals of existing laws.
They (the rifles) can stay in the system, or they can get destroyed, or they can be transferred to another gov agency.
Anything else isn't just speculation, its simply wrong.
The article says that the military "would like to", not is able to, or going to.
It is a fight worth fighting, because if the HPs are ever fully replaced we will see relics that not only have historical significance (have been in a number of, including Canada's longest running conflict), they also have significant financial significance to the tax payer.
But as of now, by law, their only way out of the system is destruction.
Sorry for balloon busting.
