Something to do over the holiday...

OK, seems like the T97A "situation" is getting a little press coverage...
(must be a slow news day!)

So I'm thinking... if it's a slow news day for articles, it must also be a slow news day for letters...

So why not ALL of us send a quick note to the editor, saying that we are still waiting for ours T97A to show up... and we are all willing to put up a fight!

I'm sure a few hundred letters would get their attention: Letters@globeandmail.com

Letter sent. Time to capitalize on this press and resend letters to those who need to hear from us.

“Potentially, it could take years before the matter is finally resolved and the firearms are surrendered or seized.”

you will have a fair and impartial trial, and immediately afterward you will be executed.

Wow excellent posting. Very informative.
I can greatly admire the T97 now and provided that it does not become a banned gun shortly. I'd like to get one.
What price range are they in for a non restricted version?

Also my 2 cents worth on the 6000 round service life.....
Now this is just speculation and logic but I think the service life was obtained through the PRC's military testing where they probably took a new gun and just kept feeding it continuously until a failure occurred. (Fired too destruction). Because we use our guns more reserved and clean them after a day at the range they would last a lot longer. Also our copper jacketed bullets vs. Copper plated steel jacket FMJ PRC ammo probably extends barrel life.

WTF are you on? they are not only banned, but the cop have seized them from the owners!

 

[Fremen]

Not the model that CanAm brought in. They are under review still.
Levers arms have been classed as prohib

 

[P0WERWAGON]

under review? thats why Can-Am was told they are prohibited? won't change until a court ruling, so yes they are all prohibited.

I love how the RCMP said in a briefing note to Mr. Vic Toews...

“Potentially, it could take years before the matter is finally resolved and the firearms are surrendered or seized.”

The RCMP are kinda "jumping" the gun on that one aren't they? Who says these guns WILL have to be surrendered OR that they WILL have the authority to seize them? HELL, the owners may just get to KEEP them & others, LIKE ME, WILL buy one the minute this gets resolved IN OUR FAVOR!!!

Cheers

[civeng]

I'm committed to two, if they do get to come in and play.... One for me, one for the little kiwi... *smiles*

I was under the impression that they were kept by the owners until a judge decides on their appeal.... Anyone?

 

[Deckard]

That is what I thought.

 

[Ebola]

that is correct. some have turned them in to be destoyed. others who are fighting this get to keep them until the judge makes his or her decison.

 

[anark]

Sorry...not an update but a request for one.

I vaguely remember that this was going to court this month? Are there any details on when and if it has started, what is happening?

thanks...still in it for the long haul...

 

[CanAm]

Lots happen, little to report at this time. Lots of legal wrangling.

 

[ericboy]

I really Like its!

 

[Parabelum]

Any news ?

 

[CanAm]

legal wrangling has ended for now. Now we wait. Fingers crossed.
