The Year of the magazine, RCMP Info sheet

Wasn't there just a law passed attempting to take away paperwork criminals? Now they are trying to criminalize us again. I never used to think of the RCMP as deceitful, now after reading that I am sure that what they are. They state the law hasn't changed and by their own wording, it's clear to me at least, that those magazines, would still be legal as they were initially designed for the rifle, YEARS ago. Are they looking to make up for their mistake in wording, and using this as a precident to further ban other mags, and rifles like the ones that can use pistol mags? I am very new to this stuff, so can someone tell me is a rifle that can use handgun ammo that much worse? I understand, handguns are restricted to 10, because of concealability, and SA rifles, to 5 because they are more powerful. So wouldnt a rifle that uses handgun ammo, be a step down from what they are making these laws for? Wouldnt be as small as a handgun, and not as powerful as a rifle. Or am i wrong?

Wrong. New to the sport?
I agree with the OP the Orgs need to be united. I have also heard from 2 retailers near my hometown that is one story has exclusivity to a mag or if they want to launch a competing mag they call the gun lab and complain. I heard from one retailer (can not confirm) that someone in Ont making SKS mags called the RCMP and said that the Tapco mags were too uneasy to un-pin in hopes of having them removed so he could sell his own mags... not sure how true that is but it sounds petty.
I guess the "sarcasm" was a tad overlooked...
Yes, voting Liberal is absolutely what brought this on. Did you forget what party introduced the Firearms Act in the first place? There's nothing blind about hating the Liberal Party of Canada - their history of deceit, arrogance and damaging, heavy handed policy and legislation is more than enough to hate them for. The Conservatives are not exactly wonderful either, but they're not nearly as awful as the party that assumes they are "the natural ruling party" of Canada. The reek of their arrogance can be smelled all the way in BC.
You're absolutely right that voting for one party over another shouldn't remove your rights as a Canadian, but unfortunately it has, because you voted for a party led by a vapid man child that doesn't give even a single sh** about your rights as a Canadian, and will steamroll your rights to push their "progressive" agenda.
I'm glad you're going to write your MP and donate money. Wrote my MP just yesterday, and I don't own a 10/22. We all need to stick together to fight this.

Just because a cop is present doesn't mean they are undercover and working against the citizens. This isn't North Korea.At least half of the cops in my town are competitive/recreational shooters and members of the local gun club. They even give pointers to IPSC beginners.
These are the same ones that told the gun club that they will not be enforcing the previous CZ 858/ Swiss Arms ban.
These are ALSO the same ones that NEVER ENFORCED THE LGR despite it being national law!
The RCMP are all for legalization of weed though. Around these parts, unless you are driving and smoking or selling to others, the RCMP doesn't give a hoot. You can just look at the dozens of illegitimate medicinal dispensaries that sell to anyone who buys a membership as proof - if they cared about weed these places would get shut down, instead the city of Vancouver has introduced regulations pertaining to where they can operate (not within x meters of a school, ect)
Are there more pot smokers than gun owners ? How are they so successful in getting laws changed and not getting prosecuted when they break the laws in most cases. The amount of people openly smoking pot in downtown Vancouver makes me sick. I thought there were bylaws in Vancouver prohibiting smoking in public. Doesn't pot count as smoking.
My point is why are politicians more afraid of pot smokers than gun owners ?

Fair point. The system appears to not be designed to deal with these differences. Instead, for some reason, the RCMP is focused on the mag issue. I not sure i understand this, more asking the question(?). Someone approved the RCMP posting. The truth is out there.
Unless I'm missing something, there has been no order in council changing the wording of the regulations that have been in place for decades, correct?
So this is literally nothing more than the RCMP's limp #### opinion on the matter, an opinion which is contradicted by a plain reading of the words of the regulations, correct? Or has there been an actual change?

I like your thinking. Or the other way around. With all the Americans becoming Canadians, they will miss the 2nd amendment from the US, therefore our political parties (by way of the people) will shift towards politics supporting the 2nd amendment-type laws.
neither the RCMP or the Government will EVER be able to get rid of guns,it's a complete impossiblity,oh,,they can write laws,ban this gun and that gun,try to scare gun owners ,whatever,doesn't change a damn thing,fact is,,all these millions of gun in the country right now,,are here to stay,,the days of the RCMP and government trying to scare guns away from gun owners are long gone,gun owners of today know EXACTLY why these anti-gun nazis want the populatrion unarmed,so their pipe dream of disarming gun owners simply because of laws they write,is just that,,a dream,,one that will NEVER come true,so at the end of the day..all these guns will STAY in private hands,,and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it,and the fact that the registry is gone means they dont have a clue where 95% of these guns are today..all that information became irrelevant the very next day the registry was abolished,and you can bet they hate that,,

Tell that to the tens of thousands that lost property when the FA Act and classification came into force. Classification, not registration, is the battle we all collectively face.
