Let's hope this is just an isolated retaliation by the RCMP, and nothing more comes of it.
I realize that this will probably garner a plethora of hate, but does anyone really think that a rifle that was previously ruled prohibited, now branded with "come and take them" in latin on their stock wasn't going to get a special look. Its time for some people to grow up.
I changed the stock and handguard of my CZ858. Apparently that makes it a new gun. Should I contact the RCMP and request a new FRT? Come to think of it... I've changed the furniture on most of my guns. OMG AM I A CRIMINAL NOW?!?!?
Idiots.
I, on the other hand actually hope that something MORE comes of this, mainly that we all get together and back Wolverine in a well-presented challenge to this ludicrous action taken by the holier-than-thou bureaucrats obviously giving direction to the Department of the Red Serge. If, as suggested, it is isolated retaliation by them simply because some engraving rubbed their noses the wrong way, then I hope that is shown to be exactly what it is,... namely an infantile, pretzel-logic response by what can only be assumed to be politically-motivated government appointees with absolutely no basis in true public safety or physical functional fact.
I would respect Wolverine's decision to call it a day for now if they are fed up, and maybe "live to fight another day" so to speak, BUT, I am keeping my Wolverine order active as long as they are wiling to fight this, and will aid in any legal defense to this. We are in the right here, and the 'authorities' have nothing but a nose out of joint and a warped definition of public safety to base their recent prohib decision on. If their so-called logic was based on engravings making the rifle unique then they have woefully little precedence to base this on, since they have allowed countless tens of thousands, maybe millions of special custom factory-engraved rifles, shotguns and pistols to have been marketed and sold over many decades past with no separate FRT distinguishing any of them. This is a joke, and should be brought to public light to show this travesty and waste of taxpayers' dollars, when they should be employing their resources to do something of actual value in reducing true crime, instead of dogmatically harassing safe, law-abiding gun shop dealers and gun owners with prohib orders based on cosmetic trivialities.
In the same way that the Auditor General a few years ago showed what an utter waste the long gun registry was in the amount of a couple billion dollars wasted for no actual tangible safety benefit, this recent waste of our time and tax dollars should be highlighted to show how they've dreamed up yet another way to fritter away Canadians' money by concentrating their efforts at petty retaliation and illogical prohib orders that have no effect on safety whatsoever.
We should get a freedom of information inquiry into this. I too would like to see the departmental communications exchanges. If they're so correct and sure of themselves, then they should be accountable for all this decision making, right? I'd also like to know how much government salaries were spent in devotion to the wasted bureaucratic direction and lab research work to declare that some simple engravings have somehow magically transformed a previously unrestricted rifle apparently into a menacing full-auto-capable weapon. I have nothing but respect for the rank and file feet on the ground officers who protect our nation, and I honestly thought this CZ 858 special edition question was eventually going to be resolved with a logical decision based on physical, functional fact, not cheap political agenda. I am truly ashamed that this is the way our national police force lab is currently employed and given misguided direction from above to pursue such wasteful tasks.
Why don't we get a little campaign of pictures of all our thousands of legal 858's with "Molon Labe" stickers/engravings on them. Maybe send a message social media style...
Just a thought..
Nice try RCMP.
Well didn't I warn everyone 6 months ago?
