I live in the blue part of Ontario, and will say, if the conservatives ever want to win anything in Toronto, they will need a leader with a personality and popularity. Scheer and Sloan aint it.

Uphill battle for sure, but a monotone office drone wont cut it. Ontario Liberals had a strangle hold, yet after the last election, they lost official party status. The PC just needed to get rid of Hudak.
 
Buyback would be a waste of time and money. Immediate importation ban will have quick results, then purchase all remaining stock from dealers. Same time prohibit what's on the list rendering your firearms useless. Registering it or not won't make a difference. Register it, they know you have it. Don't and get caught, well you will be legally screwed.

We will see what happens.

To change what is and isn't legal can be done via OIC. However, a buy back cannot, as anything requiring money needs to be done with legislation.

And if I'm not mistaken any legislation involving money is also a confidence vote? Can anyone comment to this?

I honestly don’t know the correct answer to this but didn’t the Liebrals get 21 months or something to piss cash away without going through parliament as part of the Covid-19 bill?
I thought they had a blank check for awhile...
 
My read of that specific item is that it refers to projectiles 'over 20mm cal with a ME of 10000 joules. I don't know anyone who shoots anything over 20mm that isn't crew served.

Apparently any rifle capable of 10,000 joules of energy is on the ban list. At first look that is stuff like 50 BMG, but there are some hunting rifles that meet that list, too. Specifically some powerful dangerous game rifles like 460 WBY and a few others.

Make no mistake, they are coming for your "sniper hunting" rifles too. They just haven't got there yet.

There was a Radio-Canada article that listed them as two separate items. For some reason it's been deleted out of the cgn news digest area so I don't have the link handy.

Edit

Found the link. They merged some threads.

Also, something I never noticed before. They'er using 2012 gun registry records. Those were ordered destroyed IIRC.

In detail, the “provisional list of firearms whose prohibition is recommended” specifically includes nine weapons:

Carbine M16, M4, AR-10 and AR-15 (dramas by Sandy Hook, Las Vegas and Orlando, in the United States, and that of Christchurch, in New Zealand / estimated number in circulation: 83,572)
Ruger mini-14 rifle (Polytechnique drama / estimated number in circulation: 16,859)
Swiss Arms, Classic Green model (estimated number in circulation: 1,342)
M14 rifle (Moncton drama / estimated number in circulation: 5,229)
Vz58 rifle (drama of the Quebec Mosque / estimated number in circulation: 11,593)
Cz Scorpion EVO 3 pistol rifle (estimated number circulating: 1,813)
Beretta CX4 Storm rifle (Dawson College / estimated number in circulation: 1513)
Rifle and pistol SIG Sauer SIG MCX and SIG MPX (estimated number in circulation: 1000)
Armament Robinson XCR (estimated number in circulation: 1834)

And this list also includes two categories:

Caliber more than 20 mm
Initial energy of more than 10,000 joules

Public Safety Canada based its estimate on the 2012 firearms records, which has been increased by 25% to take into account the growth in the number of firearms since that time.

By combining these 9 types of weapons and these 2 categories, the government would be to ban 1,500 variants of firearms in the country.

I looked at list and didn’t see SKS. Did I miss it or did they miss it?

Extremely hard time right now for a lot of folks, and to sit on a rifle that you aren't able to sell later might not be affordable. I would rather see them get sold than turned over in a buy-back.

So you believe the rifle will be banned and become worthless... so you sell it to the other guy and let him take the loss? Nice...

I know there are conservatives in the east. God bless them, but one thing the east all has in common is that they truly have no idea how unfairly Saskatchewan and Alberta have been treated by the rest of the country. No idea. This firearms ban just piles more on top.

Give me a friggin' break... this is not an East/West thing... this is a freedom vs facism thing... a pro-gun vs anti-gun thing... you have facists and anti-gun people out West too. I love how divisive the West becomes as soon as their duly elected government does something they don't like... blame the East. There are more sportsmen and women and hunters in the East than in the West, you don't think this hurts them? If you really need to blame something or someone, why don't you go with the Liberal Urbanites (Citiots) from East OR West that have lost touch with how the ever dwindling remainder live and love.
 
Sell it to an indigenous person, they can still use a previously non-restricted, now prohibited for sustenance hunting.. I'm willing to bet there will be NO Government buy back!

The justice minister said there will be an exception for Indigenous peoples exercising a hunting record under Section 35 of the Constitution Act, which recognizes Indigenous rights; as well as an exception for people who use one of the now-banned guns to hunt to feed themselves or their families, until they can acquire a “suitable replacement.’
 
And I was just thinking of buying an 8 gauge (21mm) percussion muzzleloading shotgun for turkey hunting.
