Canada gun ban imminent?

Probably need to overrun Mexico while we’re at it. Although I don’t think we can afford them.

We could turn it into a giant wind farm and move all the US prisons to the Artic. No fences or walls necessary when it's a 100 mile walk, climb, swim that's somewhere between 32 and -40 most of the time. That would be a deterrent to going.

People walked out of the gulags in Siberia, I, personally, would prefer some walls and guards up there too, please.

Canada has many natural resources, just like any other nation
It's a great place, not that much different than here...except the gun laws metric system (though they use a lot of 'our' stuff too in that)

I doubt the folks who walked out arrived back in civilization with 10 fingers and 10 toes, but for your comfort maybe we can afford to pay for a fence.

...and once they are under our flag, and in fairness to all, we can build walls around a few other problem spots on our current turf.

Nope. I’ve fixed it for you.

Somebody on the S&W forum asked whether it would be illegal to own an M&P 15-22. Curious, I found the 69 page language of the law. The list of prohibited firearms includes .22 AR variants (including the 15-22 which is specifically listed). o_O

The law provides for “Amnesty” thru 4/30/2022. It also mentions a “buy-back program” and “grandfathering” to be announced in the future once they figure out what the hell they're gonna do. :confused:
 
I read a story yesterday in the Canadian press that said the liberal govt. is reneging a campaign promise to buy back. That's going to only leave surrender or export as legal options. This regal decree is going to be fought in the courts and legislative body. It's possible that Castro's bastard child could face a no confidence vote as a result of all this.

The law specifies another option. Imagine the business opportunity to charge for disabling prohibited firearms. I see Jeppo’s Ganja Palace and Assault-Style Firearms Deactivation in my future. I wonder how I become an “approved business”. o_O

Disposal can include: having the firearm deactivated by an approved business; delivering the firearm or device to a police officer; legally exporting the firearm; and, if a business, returning the firearm or device to the manufacturer.

What military issues AR-15s?

Either the select fire capability is important and thus highly restricted or it's not important and should not be highly restricted. You just can't have it both ways.

Interestingly enough, Trudeau didn't add the SKS, which is literally a military weapon, to his "military-style assault weapons" ban. Right now, Russian SKS carbines are still in stock at various online Canadian firearms retailers such for only about $250 USD, right next to Chinese Norinco 7.62x39 ammo for about 30 cents a round USD (which we all know has been banned from importation into the United States since the Clinton era).

Also interesting, is the mainstream media in Canada publicly questioning the effectiveness of the ban. From a CBC article yesterday: "But it's unclear how such a ban could have prevented the Nova Scotia gunman from obtaining the weapons he used, if at all."
 
This is really a sick thought...

Will there be an epidemic of shootings between now and April 30, 2022 since possession of those prohibited firearms will fall under Amnesty? o_O
 
Like all gun control, none will ever be repealed, doesn't matter which political party is in power. Even in the US, when Colorado recalled politicians, they still have the laws on the books.
 
“The rifle itself has no moral stature since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.” ― Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle

Jes' sayin' ...

In general this is probably true, but the 7th circuit gave Illinois concealed carry and has made Chicago write some very large checks over restricting ranges in the city. The politicians won't often go there on their own, but men and women in black robes can force it.
 
Websites are banned as well. I wonder if Trudeau's aware of the Crack Smokers.

Following one of the most restrictive gun measures in recent history, Canada released its entire list of banned “assault-style” weapons and guns May 1. The list, both exhaustive and ludicrous, shows the anti-gun officials in charge have little to no understanding of the very thing the sweeping legislation now bans.
Of course, much of the list accomplishes the stated goal. Following the horrible shooting in Nova Scotia, we first reported bad gun laws were headed to Canada as a result. Then last Friday the first bombshell dropped. Canada announced the banning of approximately 1,500 weapons.

“These weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time,” Mr. Trudeau said then. “There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada.”

Now Trudeau’s list names the guns banned, effective immediately. It includes countless makes and models of AR-15s, with virtually every conceivable manufacturer named specifically. One maker, DoubleStar Corp., out of Winchester, Kentucky, had 20 different entries in Canada’s gun ban list.

“Tyranny in any form is without a doubt the worst path a country could set itself on,” DoubleStar’s Director of Special Operations Nick Collier said. “Trudeau’s actions of banning ‘military style’ firearms is a move to keep his political ties satisfied and a knee-jerk to their most recent mass-shooting (which was done with an illegally purchased firearm). As it has been proven many times over, the law-abiding citizen is the only person these laws punish. Trudeau’s ‘order-in-council’ to ban these firearms has only placed Canada’s good people in a terrible position without the ability to defend themselves and their families. Our hearts go out to the good people of Canada who are being punished for things they did not do.”

The banning of semi-auto weapons shows the new law answered a political agenda. The Nova Scotia gunman used weapons he obtained illegally. He already broke laws. So it’s hard to see what more laws accomplish here.

What’s on the List?
But the list itself shows even more. The full collection, and it’s a mighty one, shows a complete and utter lack of understanding of firearms. The new law bans “AR15.Com ARFCOM” and AR15.Com AR15.COM” among its many entries. Yeah, Canada just banned the world’s most famous AR message board. Nice work.

The new law further bans items you most likely don’t see at the local gun store. Items include “Missile Launcher FIM-92 Stinger,” “Colt M203” and of course, the “Bulgarian Mortar M81 81MM.” The benefits to public safety by the addition of such items must surely make Trudeau and company feel proud. We hope our sarcasm comes through in print as defiantly as it burns after reading this abomination of freedoms.

The list goes on and on with a lot of familiar manufacturers and guns some of you likely own. There are also a ton of inconsistencies and items missing, but we’re sure as hell not going to help them out. Read through the list and see for yourself.

I don't know. I say this but please understand I know squat about their political system. This is apparently a big deal in Canada, where guns have played a big role in the history and expansion of Canada.

This is what he said:

"He (conservative leader) holds a Minority government, so technically any opposition party could hold a non confidence vote in Parliament and trigger an election. The new government can then repeal their garbage law's, which includes this and another Bill they put through last year that led to this.

Problem 1 - Parliament is suspended and only acting with minimal representation in a virtual setting and only 1 sitting in the House a week.

Problem 2 - because they lost the last election, the Conservatives were forced into a leadership race that was supposed to be over now but has been delayed until early Fall due to COVID-19. So it would be foolish to try an election now.

Problem 3 - the other "progressive" parties support getting rid of the AR-15 and more gun control. But I don't think they knew they were going this far.

The good thing is there's a 2 year amnesty and the Conservatives were close this past election, gaining the popular vote. But our riding seat distribution disproportionately supports urban elite area's. There was a new hard right party (similar to the Tea Party) that split the vote. But I could see them making a good run for it. The front runner is an Veteran, former Air Force pilot and a former Veteran's Affairs Minister."

He also said a lawsuit is in the works:
