Well, since there are so many members on the site, I would ask one of you to email your MP, or run for parliament your self. Right now is a very good time to lobby firearms. New rifles= more sales, more profit, more taxes. Something our country needs right now.
I will email my MP, and the gun society.

JohnOne should set-up a Rent - to - Own Range.
He has it at a range, every time I go to shoot a Rifle I pay a fee, but never actually get to own it. But the Rifle has my name on it as my personal Rental
He could have hundreds of Rental Rifles paid for....but he owns to rent...
am I confusing me yet.
How many New FALs do you have JOHN?? Tell us about them and make us sick with Envy
Thats pretty much how section 7 of the 97 firearms ammendment act works. You actually own the pistol, its stored at a secure facillity where it is available for studying. This "studying" includes test firing for comparisom against other modeels and other banned firearms.
Section 7 a good if painful get out from the handgun ban!
hmmm the individual in the email mentioned petitioning the govt. I think not just the FN FAL has a rediculous classification, there are many firearms with prohibited and restricted classifications that make absolutely no sense, if we ask the government for the legitimate reasoning behind the classification of these firearms, they will come up with nothing. and that is when we make a big deal about it so that hopefully we can get the classifications changed.
I would think that they'd be able to reverse the OIC's. The prohib list was put into place with OIC's and (as far as I know) no vote in parliament. I could be wrong, but I don't think they actually voted for the OIC's.
Whether they could remove the classifications or not without a vote, if they tried even in a majority government situation the opposition parties and the left wing spin-doctor media would be all over it. First time there was a shooting in Toronto or Montreal the Star headlines on the front page would be something along the lines of "blood runs thick in our city streets as Conservatives allow assault weapons in our neighborhoods".
The FAL would have a better chance of getting off then any other 12(5) firearm due to its Canadian History. And That is what we should push for, Take the FN-FAL off the prohib list due to its historical significance.
One thing lots of people tend to have is respect for historical significance.
It would be harder to argue the same case for say the AK-47 or MP-5.
I'd be willing to donate money to fight for that!

"No member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has the discretionary power to influence the firearms laws formulated and passed into existence by the Government of Canada, nor does any Public Servant employed by the Canadian Firearms Program"
...And yet some certainly seem to be trying as hard as they can to do just that.

So what your telling me is ive had a vulnerable piece of ammunition to use against the RCMP all along and just realized it ?
How many reclassification's could be undone with just this line alone ?
And for those who may be asking yes i have the persons name and where they work , but for obvious reasons i did not post it .
Ok, I am starting to get very serious about getting the FAL off the prohib list, I have also written up a letter to the new MP after the next election (ours is retiring). I think a Stickied thread is in order, telling everyone to petition their MP's to remove the FAL from the prohib list on grounds of historical significance.
Although I do not want to over shadow getting rid of the LG registry. Maybe post elections would be a good time, after the majority.

I though our government (in their infinite wisdom) already melted down the C1A1's that were being stored a few years ago?
You can't resurrect the dead after they've been cremated.
Still, I'd like to see the FN (and a lot of other rifles) come off the prohib list.

That's because you are smart enough to realize that the 5.56x45mm isn't sufficiently powerful enough to be a do-it-all cartridge.
We had the C1A1 rifles in storage. All they had to do was keep them so that the troops would have another alternative in different circumstances.
Look at how quickly the U.S. brought the M14 back into service when they got involved in Iraq and Afghanistan. It isn't their main battle rifle, but they deploy it when the situation requires acquiring a target at longer ranges with a harder hitting cartridge.

Ha! How do you think that change will happen without pointing out the many faults of our country? BTW, most of them didn't exist 50 years ago.
Maybe one of the reasons that things suck so bad now is because people have kept saying to themselves, "Oh I shouldn't complain, 3/4 of the world has it worse than we do. Besides, our elected officials would never sell us out."
Meanwhile, another right or freedom is stripped away from us and we start the slide down into the abyss that will make us indistinguishable from the rest of the world in a few generations.
