WORST CASE SCENARIO - buyback is implemented

Receiving parts that are titled / made for AR in any way or capacity raises red flags and naturally the Gov. exercises on the side of caution and does not allow entry.
This is different than what is already in possession of the individual owner.

In addition, enforcing or suggesting that ANY part that can be in a prohibited gun is prohibited from possession is a bit broad and in my view unenforceable - bolts, springs, etc etc are somewhat interchangeable.
Currently, it appears that even accessories (red dots / mounts etc) that have the wording AR or anything that resembles such is prohibited from entry. But its unreasonable to suggest that if you have any of those accessories, they are illegal or can't be used on other firearms that are not covered by the legislation.

Unless im misunderstanding what CBSA is enforcing (?)

Not to sound too ignorant about this, but it seems that legal gun owners are being reactive to the legislation and therefore taking action to keep the guns in possession. I wonder what happens if i use a .50 BMG at the range, would i get charged and if so with what and by whom? Almost makes me want to try and im on Gov side in my day job haha.

I got a whole box of clearly declared AR15 parts delivered in September or so. Seems to be a crapshoot just like folding knives.

Also, can we talk about that absolute irony of our prime minister saying "you don't need an AR to hunt" even though they're restricted....only to have his own government conservation officers order a bunch of AR-10's?

“On the one hand, you have the prime minister and Yukon’s Liberal Member of Parliament saying that these types of guns have no use in Canada and they’re only meant for killing people. On the other hand, you have the Yukon Liberal government purchasing 20 of these AR rifles saying that they’re necessary to deal with human-wildlife conflict,” Hassard said.

“Many Yukoners could easily find themselves in exactly the same scenario of human-wildlife conflict that the government is justifying as the reason that these guns are necessary for employees at the Department of Environment,” he said.

as we say here only in the yukon lol ...
 
It's ok guys. After you sell them your legally purchased guns. You can use that money to buy a Uzi, ak47 and one of the many other guns that are smuggled over the border. Apparently those guns are not a problem and we don't need more laws for those. Trudeau agrees with the above statement. He decided to spend billions to buy those dangerous legal guns. And actually took money away from border patrol to pay for it.

The goal is to create more non-violent "criminals".

Enjoy loosing your PAL forever, making local news, going to court, experiencing job loss, incurring a ridiculous amount of legal fees, jail time followed by a life altering criminal record. All to keep a 3lb chunk of Aluminum.

Just a comment on the use of the "buy back" phrase.

Many others have commented in the past on other threads that it is essentially confiscation.

There would be very few willing sellers.

It was not purchased from the government so they cannot "buy it back".

Does anyone else agree that a better description of the process would be "confiscation".

To me that is a better description of the process that may or may not come to pass.

Are we hurting ourselves by continuing to use a somewhat more politically correct but inaccurate term?

Thoughts??

I prefer to use terms like THEFT and EXTORTION when referring to this whole steaming pile of lies.
 
Worst case scenario is that we remain in limbo for years and have to endure endless speculative posts. That we also have to listen to more people planning boat accidents, saying things like you can't buy back what you didn't sell in the first place and other useless things.....

Calm down Karen. If it's only a 3lb chunk of aluminum to you. Then you shouldn't be on this forum to begin with.
 
I honestly have a feeling when the buy back is supposed to be implemented the liberals are going to say sorry due to budget constraints there is no compensation hand your sh!t in or else...

Dont think they can just do that or they would have said this from the start it would have been much easier for them, its what every anti wanted, i honestly think its going to be like any other prohib, keep it stored and thats it.

That is exactly what will happen to anyone that is caught with a prohibited firearm after the amnesty ends. This isnt some joke. This is Federal law. I aint ruining the rest of my life to keep ANY GUN. Canadian gun owners need to fight this in a smart manner. Not by making local headlines as criminals and filling up Canada jails.

Hey I just wanted to make a thread of worst case scenario if the buyback program is implanted and what is the best way to deal with it.

My understanding is that the only “illegal” part of the AR 15 is the receiver. So that said, if they government requires a surrender, can I just give them the receiver and save the rest of the parts for a non restricted build?

Scenario 2, could I dissemble my AR and report it to the RCMP as the rifle has been “deactivated” and thus I am technically not in possession of an AR?

The regiatrar of firearms has nullified all of our certificates so there is no longer any requirement to report deactivation of these firearms.

It's definitely more than just a chunk of aluminium, but I agree with what you are saying. That being said this is not the place to express those kind of opinions lol. Its like pouring blood in a shark infested pool. Way to many knuckle draggers and keyboard warriors. We will see what they do when the heat is really on.
