More details from the Globe and Mail

What does this mean exactly? Is this being put to vote, is the an "executive order" for lack of a better canadian term? says effective today?

Dude, knock off with that "disarming you" crap. That's the kind of talk that gives gun owners a bad rep.

Let's be clear: The government is not "afraid" of your stupid AR-15. They have way better guns than you do, and they have way more of them.

Politicians in Canada like to attack guns for one reason, and one reason only. Because it gets them elected. Because someone voted for it. Because someone wrote more letters than you did.

THAT is the reality. Now stop acting like it's all a big conspiracy.

During the amnesty period, the Government intends to implement a buy-back program to compensate affected owners for the value of their firearms after they are delivered to a police officer; however, until a buy-back program is offered, affected owners will not be eligible for compensation. An option to participate in a grandfathering regime would also be made available for affected owners. Further public communications on the buy-back program and the grandfathering regime will follow later.

“Option for grandfathering”....... we will see what that means.
 
1500 specific weapons...it initially appears some PCC’s (JR Carbines, Kriss Vector, etc) don’t see Tavors on the list, but who knows? I heard no mention of grandfathering from anyone who spouted off on the subject.
How the hell does this keep happening here? Shooting is one of if not the most popular recreational pastime in the country for much longer than the 55 years I’ve been a shooter. When I started shooting and actually buying my own firearms in the very early 1970’s, there were very rigid processes for registering handguns. Rifles and shotguns weren’t even discussed; you wanted one, you bought one. If you were willing to deal with the frustration of going to the gun store, finding and buying what you wanted, going to the Police station for a transport permit, back to the gun store to pick it up and take it to the Police station again so they could inspect it, then issue a permit to transport it home. IF you belonged to a range, they also issued a transport permit to go from your house to the range and back.
BUT, you didn’t HAVE to be a range member, there was no magazine limits, no barrel length limits in handguns,
NOW, 50 years later, and God only knows how many billions of dollars, we have a much more cumbersome process with thousands of variables depending on the color of your gun and if it has plastic parts, magazine limits, barrel length limits, etc. THOUSANDS of previously legal guns are prohibited for hundreds of different reasons; if they look scary, if they’re black, semi autos are iffy, pistols can’t have barrels less than 4+ in. Long, etc. Etc. Etc.
HOW on EARTH was this allowed to happen?
LOOK IN YOUR MIRROR! WE allowed this to happen. ALL of us. Millions of Canadian gun owners, armchair quarterbacks all. I am ASHAMED of us as a group. I thought...I hoped...at some point we would quit pissing and moaning and fingerpointing at each other, grow a pair and deal with this cohesively as ONE VOICE.
We got EXACTLY what we bought and paid for; NOTHING
