If it's like what happened before with 12.6. No new handguns allowed into the country and dealers must send new inventory back. Owners allowed to sell and trade to each other until death. like highlander at the end of it all there shall only be one! It will only take one generation.
grandfathering signification ?

This is the easiest and most politically painless way for them to go - just stop issuing RPALs, keep renewing them as necessary and let the "problem" (that's us) die out on its own. Eventually, they'll do the same with PAL's - to paraphrase "that's the way the world ends - not with a fight, but a phase out"

Actually, I think the saying goes, "so that's how freedom dies; to thunderous applause." or some such.

C-51, C-17, & C-68, and the subsequent Firearms Act was the sky falling. Those policies have been the law of the land long enough now that the majority of shooters don 't recall it ever being any different. Things can always get worse from a gun owners point of view. We hold the minority opinion . . . when we can actually agree on anything that is. Trudeau and Mulcair are chomping at the bit to right the wrongs of the Conservative Government, and their time will come, if not in this election, then in the next. Once elected, they will once again strive to make Canada a gun free Nervana. The one chance there was to head off greater restrictions would have been the scraping of the entire Firearms Act. The taxpayers would have never again supported a multi-billion dollar firearm registration scheme which was recognized as a failure even by it's supporters. So when we think about the sky falling, consider the way we could purchase and trade firearms pre-79 then look where we are now, and consider what the next 20 years might bring, under a government that is less friendly towards us.
There will be no grandfathering, that was made clear already by their position of a handgun BAN. It will only be confiscation. Sadly there are some of the mentality that C42 was not enough and will vote against the CPC to spite them as a result. Yeah that will teach them......
12(6) has nothing to do with inheriting and everything to do with barrels under 105mm! Please do some research before posting mis-information! Posting incorrect info does not help anybody!

I'm not so confident. Having friends that had firearms stolen in the 90's by the LIEberal regime (one friend in particular lost over $20K worth at that time which is probably close to $60K by today's pricing) I am not so confident nor comfortable as to where this is going. Firearms I used to be able to shoot regularly are now wall hangers based on cosmetics alone. I actually do worry about what's coming considering the value of what I may loose.
I completely agree with Boomer686 and find Ruffbird's "& to hell with the politics crap!" the reason why the incremental losses happen. We are not politically active enough. It is unfortunate that the NFA has imploded and is/was perceived as radical by some, while the CSSA is seen by many as being capitulators, settling for small bones instead of insisting on more. Granted, either/neither organization achieves the unified support that we as a community are capable of.
We need the Swiss Arms reaction times 10 to start reversing the trend. We need to resurrect a Reform-type party (some would shout Libertarian Party I'm sure, lol) when it is prudent so as not to cripple what little political hope we currently have.

Reading this thread is akin to listening to sheep as they maze their way to the slaughterhouse floor.
We, as a community, F**ked up BIG when we let these Stoopid ass laws in the first time.
You can learn from History. If 100 000 people REFUSE to turn in their property; the politician will run and hide.
Civil disobedience has worked before and it can again.
Sorry for the rant.
They don't go after 100,000 people for that reason - they look at how many of 'x' were sold and pick the low hanging fruit - like the Swiss Arms, they ban that, require those folks to turn them in and move on. Civil disobedience only works when the media aren't busy painting you as a danger to society - ask Bruce Montage about civil disobedience, the media and Canadian gun owners support, or lack thereof. Frankly, looking at the way he was treated by his fellow gun owners, maybe we get exactly what we deserve.
Swiss arms and CZ affected at most 5000 people yet they stood up and BAM!!!
Now in a case where the Libs or Dips go for restricted firearms...we can stack up an army that doubles our country's standing army...just saying
Or we can BAAAAAAHHHH
The infrastrucure alone to send us all to prison for not bringing our guns in would CRUMBLE the country. Just making 100 000 new ''criminals'' out of law abiding citizens would be untenable.
Again we can Stand together or Fall individually
Just Saying

The thing is....
There is no need to send anyone to prison.
Massive fines and if you fail to pay...Only then prison for those who balk.
What Army are you talking about??
I am NOT now nor would I ever be, a part of such an "Army".
2 cents Eh!

Yes, we stood up against the most gun friendly gov't we had in decades. And they let us keep and use our own property.
Good for us!
The 70's group KISS had an army. I never meant it as a Resistance or Partisan force but much more in the sense of General civil disobedance.
By your attitude though; wouldn't want you on my side anyways
What if everyone balked... dare to dream
ya no. A liberal or NDP gov would not have reversed course. In this case, the elected government, with no intention of ratcheting up controls, were not going to accept unilateral decisions made by non-elected officials on a big "P" policy issue.
