Soooo, If I keep a registered AR15 that the government knows I have and has banned ownership/possession of that firearm, you expect me to keep it and become a criminal OR take $200 for it instead of just deactivating it so I can at least keep instead of it being destroyed by said government? Please explain how you think we can keep it if they enforce this assault ban?? I'm all ears! Do I want to continue to own my AR15's as is, of course, who doesn't?! I don't understand what you are getting at here CameronSS?? Help me understand.
Well, for starters, they will not enforce the assault weapon ban, just like they haven't proactively enforced 99% of what is already in the firearms act.
So the question is are you willing to own it as a criminal as a statement of protest, as millions of unlicensed canadians have been doing with near impunity for decades? If you own guns in Canada, you probably already are a criminal in some way or another, and if you have ever transferred a restricted firearm under the firearms act then you are definitely a criminal. Don't let that get you down: the whole point of the firearms act is to make firearms ownership so burdensome as to deter people from owning altogether.
And to be clear, no part of my post was ever meant to imply you or anyone else would be first in line to do anything. Just that if you EVER deactivate a firearm simply because the government banned it, then you are giving them what they wanted.
He is saying if we all stand firm...then nothing happens.
Yes, but not exactly nothing. IF we all stand firm and oppose, then the government will fold and back away from program. Marijuana didn't get legalized because people weren't smoking it. The repeal of the Non-Restricted registry and the commitment of ALL federal parties not to bring it back is proof of this concept in action in the firearms realm.
With restricteds there is a third option - to file the injunction. unless courts flatly refuse to take them as with Concealed carry permits refusals.
And really, there is no need to be so belligerent, he wants to dewat his firearms, his business.
In my opinion, appealing the decision to revoke your registration certificate and confiscate your firearm to a provincial judge is the Second option. First being to express your will at the ballot box. If laying the matter in front of a judge for a review of the constitutionality of mass revocation fails, then non-compliance is the third.
