RCMP "Information Regarding 80% Lowers"

This is the scenario I see playing out.

The RCMP are going to run around collecting every 80% AR receiver they can get their hands on for the next while.

For arguments sake, let's say they collect 5000 of them.

One day a headline will appear in the newspaper saying "RCMP seizes 5000 prohibited M16 automatic assault rifles"

The article will go on to state how easily these "prohibited automatic assault rifles" can be converted from legal AR15s.

The public (media) will demand something is done about this massive scary problem. The uninformed will say better safe than sorry, and that will be it.

They will charge you just the same. And the rank and file move up and get leadership roles and this still goes on so yes it is actually them doing this even if it a "civilian" whatever that b.s. means they are lead by a former rank and file.
 
Hypothetically speaking, and to take this absurd decision further, what would the process be for deactivating an 80% receiver so that you could continue to own it as a dewat?
 
The RCMP, the govnt and most firearms-owners know this has nothing to with crime or safety. The facts, statistics and history of firearms in our country demonstrate this quite clearly.
It's all about making firearms ownership more difficult, more limited and more expensive. They'll chip away as much and as long as they can.
What's sad is that the RCMP have set themselves up as the adversary and chief "sh1t-dusturber" to 6% of the population...ironically, the most law-abiding group in the nation.
It's tragic...
 
So what about the guy that has the equipment to take a block of aluminum and make a completed receiver? I assume this has been done in the past and then registered the receiver when done - this also now appears to be prohibited - in the morning they are ok just aluminum then a few minutes later they are in possession of prohib and then a few minutes later they are ok again as they are done and they registered it - of course at time of registration they are now admitting to have had a prohibited firearm in their possession.

First mistake is thinking that there is logic, reason and consistency in the application and interpretation of the law
 
I'm calling the cfc to register my beer and pop cans, as they are made of aluminum and could theoretically be made into a lower receiver. When i take them to the bottle depot i will request for a transfer....
 
Like everything the RCMP spews forth - it has to be tested in a court. These are just the interpretations of those who would go well-outside "reasonable" to cause problems.
 
The real thing we should fight for, is if they all of a sudden make something prohibited, they should be allowing 12.6 license​..they created this mess...someone should make them eat it. Any lawyers in the house..I would love the chance to make myself guilty to fight this abuse of power in court.
 
I think we need to attack this from several fronts. As I mentioned previously, a class action lawsuit using a willing lawyer and cut out the gun orgs who will no doubt encourage a letter writing campaign and request more donations.

Then we purchase blocks of similar size aluminium and go through the formal registration process. Once registered, we drill a couple big holes in it and apply to have it de activated.

The other option is for those selling 80 % lowers delete a couple more holes and sell 70 % lowers. When a new bulletin comes out, omit a couple more features and make them 60% and so on until the RCMP finally declare any block of aluminium the size of a finished firearm to be prohibited. Only then can we truly point out the stupidity of the interpretation.
