Thank you JR, I hope that this whole situation is rectified, and provides the political pressure to make positive changes to the Firearms Act.
 
Keep taking the hi road JR. That is right and proper response and a courageous thing to do at what must be a very stressful time. Good on you Sir.

... what's the difference between this and a mini 14?

Unfortunately, we may think that, but the truth is that if we convince the powers that be there is no difference, that won't lead to Sig being non-restricted again. That'll lead to Mini 14 also being prohibited. You see the logic works both ways and that's the mentality law makers seem to have.

As for JR's video.. it is not JR's fault that he followed the law. However, he is still being an honorable man in posting this. Good on you man, you earned respect by being humble.

im still choked....but i can not deny that JR did the right thing in posting this video. When a man makes a mistake he owns up to it, JR did that. Again folks lets not get completely sideways about all this, lets continue with the letters to MPs and harper.
 
Thanks for posting the video, JR. I can't speak for anyone else, but it sure made my day to watch it. Things are looking up. As far as I am concerned, let's put this matter behind us all, and work together on getting these ridiculous laws changed.

Grow a pair and stand up with the rest of us. Hiding your head in the sand will get you nowhere. The truth is that if we do nothing, they'll take them ALL.
 
He's not responsible for how the RCMP acted. If we go after ourselves every time the RCMP or anyone else does something against gun owners we'll just make their job that much easier.
 
I only know of this saga through the forums on CGN,.. after reading the angry rants and then hearing this fella state his case, I tend to want to believe him

but maybe we will never know the real (whole) story...

United we stand, divided we fall IMHO

I'm sorry who are you to tell me to Grow a pair? And where did I say to not do anything? I simply said that statement works both ways. That sort of naivete is what started this whole mess.

Thanks

Well said JR. Well we may not like the situation, now is not the time to crucify a leader in the firearms community who can actually help make a difference.
 
Ballsy, but none of it helps anyone keep their Swiss arms if the government goes ahead. Can't forgive that, but bravo to those who can. Realistically, if these are seized without compensation, they only way to try to rebuild the broken trust would be a refund to the owners, and that would cost too much to be feasible. IMHO, damage is done.

If he is honest, and time will tell, then it's worth giving him a second chance. Sometimes people can learn from their mistakes, I try to.
 
Awesome Vid JR. This is exactly the kind of thing we need happening every day in this country, until we can get some reasonable gun control reform. Current laws are bull#### feelgood rulings from folks who've never held a gun, let alone own one or twelve. You have my support entirely!
 
very good response I hope all the venders start donating a % of each sale to this or something. or add a donation option at check out that would goto this most wont mind if they know where its going.

drop 'compensation' from the discussion !? Well you obviously are NOT a SA owner,

With all due respect, I had a firearm go from non-restricted to prohibited over a decade ago. I can't even take the thing to the range. There is no market for these guns. The re-classification should never have happened in the first place and we should let the politicians know that compensation is not acceptable, a change in the laws which rectifies this crap is the only solution that we're prepared to accept. Look where being flexible has gotten us. Enough. Time to push back.
