Type 97 Classification Issues - PART TWO

Notwithstanding Hasselwander was a ridiculous ruling and a clear example of the court legislating from the bench.

I don't think it was as ridiculous as you.

I agree with the dissent... but...

The SCC took a middle ground between: unless its capable of doing full auto at the present time, its not prohib v. its a prohib if it can be made to fire full auto NO MATTER HOW HARD THE CONVERSION.

Hasselwander created a three part test:

1) Relatively quick
2) with widely available parts
2) with relatively limited skill.

It created a test but the failed to define what is required to clearly satisfy the test. Thus the RCMP can still screw us and it probably has to go back to court.
 
>I still think it's BS. A semiauto gun is a semiauto. Period.

Its not that simple, the decision also relates to dewats (in fact EVERY subsequent citation has been about dewats).

If the law was what the current possibility, then a person could hold up a store with a working firearm, then take a spring out, and carry it around all day. If he ever got caught in possession of it, he'd be able to say: "its not a firearm because it won't fire."

The test is a reasonable alternative.

I still don't AGREE with it, but I see them trying to cut the baby in half.

This just gave me a boner. :dancingbanana: A minor boner, but a boner nonetheless.

Save me a phone call. Was there any definition to the bolded word above? "Eventually" as in, sometime this year? Or "eventually" as in, the next coming of Christ? Either way, I'm still in.
 
Paul- in a just society, the crime would be armed robbery. The state of the firearm matters not.

Give them a call yourself. Or maybe im an evil member of the goverment trying to get you guys to leave the issue alone. Whatever Floats your Boat :D
 
Yeah I can vouch for Blupul on that one, I was told the same thing when I called last week, and no I have not had any kind of e-mail from Can-Am on the status of my order beyond telling me its been processed.
