Reference: More potential RCMP firearm shenanigans
The Honourable Steven Blaney,
I write to you today to express concern over a news article that has surfaced in regards to the RCMP once again making an arbitrary determination that will affect thousands of law abiding citizens.
In summary; it appears as though the RCMP are in the process of changing their previously published position in regards to magazines and their uses in various firearms. For reference, please see RCMP Bulletin 72.
http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/b...323-72-eng.htm
This move has far reaching consequences and must be stopped by your office.
To be blunt, this is exactly the abuse that the firearms community is fed up being subjected to. It is also wrong for any unelected official to have such arbitrary power over Canadians.
It is my sincere hope that you, as the Public Safety Minister will be able to achieve success in stopping this matter as you have in regards to the creation of Bill C-42.
Sincerely,
A proud Canadian

The Honourable Steven Blaney,
I think we can all agree that holders of Canadian firearms licenses are among the most trusted citizens in our society. The RCMP themselves have made the determination that these people are trustworthy enough to own firearms, and act responsibly with this privilege. As licensed firearms owners, we have proven the RCMP correct in this determination.
The rules set forth, and continually changed by the RCMP only affect us, the above mentioned responsible citizens. Those in our society who wish to cause harm with a firearm are not licensed, nor will they follow the rules set forth by the RCMP. For example, any further restrictions placed on magazine size will only act to inconvenience law abiding licensed sport shooters. Criminals that manage to get their hands on firearms are easily able to circumvent these magazine size restrictions by buying unrestricted magazines, or by illegally modifying previously size restricted magazines.
Further restrictions on magazine size will not affect these criminals, only law abiding citizens. This leads me to two questions: first, why does the RCMP continually act to inconvenience those that they have determined to be the most upstanding and trusted citizens in society? Shouldn't these people have less restrictions put on them, not more?
Second, it has been proven in the US by statistics and various studies during, and after the 'Assault Weapons Ban' that magazine size restrictions made absolutely no difference to the prevalence of gun crime, so why does the RCMP seem to think it will make a difference here?
I have always turned to the conservative government for logic regarding issues such as these, and yet the RCMP seems to be acting in this manner under your watch. Before the next election, please prove to myself and the rest of your constituents that you can govern using logic and not emotion.

Rage Station is correct.
I have posted comments to same effect that having JR Cox advocating with RCMP has caused CZ858 and Swiss Arms disaster.
What a nerve posting about it in OP as he did!
But he is busy erasing non complimentary posts and doing it as quick as he can.
For the forgiving souls on this thread, perhaps you would not be so kind and understanding if you were about to lose over ten thousand dollars due to actions of community traitor.

This isn't the god damn time or place. We all know what happened. We all have a new problem now.

I haven't read through the entire thread yet, so someone might have mentioned this already.
I took a look at the web page for special bulletin no. 72 and they have modified the wording in there already. I compared it to a copy I had printed, and they have removed the wording regarding LAR-15 under section 4. Previously it was mentioned specifically under the Marlin model 45 using 1911 mags, but now it's gone.
