Selling unregistered gun?

now why would a potential buyer advise the mods?...can't see that happening unless we have some do gooders and liberals on this site...makes no sense...unless...the deal went bad and the potential buyer wanted to make it bad for the seller...could happen I guess.

The way we find out, is that the potential buyer aware of the CGN Rules, advises the Admin/Mods.

Advertising unregistered firearms for sale on the CGN EE would usually bring a permanent ban from the site.

Registered guns

I'm still having a hard time understanding why an unregistered gun is potentially worth more? I despise the registry as much as everyone else does. It is good that the Conservatives are doing what they can and are extending this amnesty each year, thus protecting the owners of unregistered guns from prosecution.

However, you just gotta know this amnesty will not last forever, and sooner or later they will have to be registered. If the gun is not registered after the final amnesty runs out (or when the liberals get back in power), you've just ensured that valuable gun is now worth nothing. At least in my opinion, because if I can't travel with it or take it hunting for fear of being caught, how does it make the gun worth more?

I guess the die hards feel if they just hold out long enough and stash away their unregistered guns, the registry will just up and go away someday. I sincerely hope they are right, but I seriously doubt it.

Art, I think a lot of folks are concerned that registration is step #1 in a series of steps that ends in total confiscation. That is one of the reasons that many would like to see the long gun registry dismantled.
 
at the risk of skating on thin ice-please delete if that's the case...

the value is in having an unregistered gun when the government takes all the registered guns away from the folks who complied with the law.

It has been proven that it is primarily a tool for confiscation because it hasn't done a stitch for crime prevention.
 
Registration

Hello,
I'm fully aware and just as furious of what the registry's ultimate goal is. I am completely aware that the registry does absolutely nothing to curtail crime and all it does is catalogue where all the guns are for future confiscation purposes.

I've always referred to it as "Phase 2" in the unspoken Liberal plan for the registry. Kicking and screaming, the Liberals will try to register everything and then systematically start the confiscation at a time that suits them. I have all the same anger and worry about this dangerous registry that we are all paying for. My loathing of this registry is not the point.

My point is that how can you enjoy your hunting vacation or trip out to the range if someday (after the amnesty) you get caught with an unregistered gun? I hate registering my guns too, but what else do you do? The only other choice I think is to not register your guns and just hope you never get caught. This seems very risky to me.

I was given two 303's by a friend. I called CFC and both were registered without a question . . . they appeared pleased to get them into the system.
The registry has been helpful everytime I have called; they are knowledgable, and are able to research a considerable range of rifles that I have inquired about.

One would have wished the concentration camps were as accommodating, people might have enjoyed their demise more.

It seems that since the RCMP took over the CFC that they are a whole lot easier to deal with and a whole lot more knowledgeable. The whole registry still sucks but at least I don't get as frustrated every time I call there. I haven't even had to wait for someone to pick up the phone on the last three transfers I've done.

Your fear is making it very easy for big brother to control you, and the millions like you. If the nation's gun owners all stood up and gave the liberals a collective "HANDS OFF" one might argue that the registry would not have made it off the ground. Instead, the liberals used fear tactics and sold the registry to you and your ilk, and the rest of us who were , and are, practising civil disobedience were forced to eat it as we were hung out to dry.
 
"Me and my ilk?" Why don't you educate me then. I'd love to hear your game plan on how you intend to hunt in the future with an unregistered gun if (heaven forbid) the Liberals get back in power and the amnesty gets lifted and you get stopped by a CO or police officer?

I guess I'm just not as capable of determining which laws to obey and which ones to ignore. Generally speaking, any laws that carry criminal code implications are ones I tend to pay heed to, whether I agree or not. When I start thinking about losing all my guns, my house, my job and paying to make some lawyer rich to defend me you mean fear? Ya, I guess you're right.

I am an Albertan, we have a provincial government who, as far as i know, has given orders to not prosecute on unregistered non-restricted's. If for some reason, i am wrong about this, or theat gets changed, nothing will change for me. I will hunt with the gun i chose to hunt with. Hypothetically speaking, that gun happens to be unregistered, and i do get pulled over and charged, i will have to lawyer up, count on financial support of my fellow gun nutz and hope to set a precedent that will help with the dismantling of the long gun registry.

Awnser your question, Art?
