de-restrict the AR?

Wow, some of you really think that Harper's conservatives are going to completely revamp the gun laws in Canada. Not going to happen.

+1 not a whole lot is going to change. They may scrap the long gun registry. But any more work than that is unrealistic. I doubt their first order of business, of even 100th order of business is to look at reworking our fire arms legislation. Just sayin
 
Gun control works like a ratchet. It only goes one way.

We will probably get the LGR killed but that's all folks.

Changing anything more will require a shift in the way people view guns in this country and that's something that happens over decades.
 
Getting the AR-15 off of the restricted list would be fantastic!

Another good start would be to get the minimum barrel length for non-restricted down to 16". That would open up many more factory black rifle options with out having special barrels made to make them non-restricted.

Instead of down to 16 inches it would make more sense to have no restriction on length. Let's face it. It's not deterring crime or reducing or whatever bs claim is keeping it in.

I can get a nonrestricted 8" pump shotty, but a 14.5 AR is too dangerous? scary looking? too fun? I think we all know how ridiculous these restrictions are.
 
Non restricted should be anything that is over 26" when folded up regardless of barrel length or action/caliber. Minimum 10 rds for everything (rifle and pistol) and no limits on the 22lrs. Dreaming but :D

Also the M1 carbine, sorry to everyone who has changed the barrel to a 19incher
 
You guys are thinking far too small.

I want the Canadian Charter of 'Rights and Freedoms' completely re-vampted to include right to property and the right to bear arms.
Work it so even the Supreme Court cannot 'interpret' it to mean anything less than what it is.


Despite what we hope for, there will be a day in the future that a left-leaning government will form a majority and will overturn any reversal that takes place with the current firearms laws. It is not enough that our immediate wants and desires are filled, but that our laws and freedoms are protected and enshrined for our children and their children. Anything less is unacceptable.
 
Bought my first AR over the counter before Kim Campbell and Allen Rock showed up........
I can just imagine how many are floating around out there.......
 
I think it's safe to say that the bill Garry Breitkreuz put forward before the media jumped down his throat will probably be dug up and easily passed. That was the one that would've killed the registry and lumped ATTs onto your R-PAL (no need to call and ask permission to abide by the law). Anything more would be unlikely, mainly because it's not actually party policy to do anything more. Granted, it'd still be a welcome change.

Rather than pestering cabinet ministers, I'd be more inclined to pester the "Outdoors" committee. That's their job to encourage outdoor pastimes, such as hunting and shooting sports.

Well said. I could not agree more

+1 it makes sense. As I see left-wingers get more seats in this election.

+2

as much as i would love to see some major changes, we will only see the long gun registry disapear as promised by the conservatives. there is zero reason for the conservatives to do anything about firearm legislation other then what was promised about removing the long gun registry. just remember the conservatives were and are trying prove they are financialy responsible by removing the registry. being financial responsible is a necesity for seeking re-election. that is the only reason for its potential elimination. they are not doing it to apease us and make the hunters happy.

i only hope the registry disapears before the next firearm related tragedy strikes at a canadian school, mall, government facilty ect ect. that way i can at least keep my semi autos hidden when they are banned for civilian ownership and siezed from us. just remember we are potential only one tragedy away from even more government legislation being rammed down our throats or our semi autos being seized from us. its unfortunate but its true. the tories will turn on us just like the ndp would or the liberals would after the next tragedy. unfortunetly canadian culture does not embrace firearm ownership unlike the united states. it is only a matter of time before we are just the same as australia and great britain.

+2... all GREAT ideas, I support every idea mentioned 100%... likelihood of any of these ideas (besides the LGR scrap) coming true... not good...

not to worry, they can't take our dreams.

Listen here boys and girls ^^^^ we don't want this but it is inevitable if we do not add this to our charter of rights and freedoms.

short term wish: I want to be able to go into a gun dealer, choose whatever firearm is made on this planet, do a criminal record check, pay for it, and leave.

absolutely no restrictions whatsoever on any firearms, no mag limits, full auto, semi, guns that can fit in my shirt pocket, anything and everything.
