1 May 2020 Canadian firearms legislation changes

[rob love]

The firearms act was not really written towards these materials, and it will be close to impossible to meet the storage regulations for some of these items. The inclusion of a lot of these will have been for the purposes of preparing for the OIC. They have a lot of catch-up to do now in order to list all possible models of artillery, mortars, grenade and rocket launchers. This is all towards meeting the present governments agenda of looking like they are serious about crime. Meanwhile, the punishments for the illegal users and smugglers have been lowered in recent years by this government.



To the general public, they will agree that there is no place for civilian ownership of these items, thinking that they can be used to cause mass deaths. They do not see that in virtually all cases, the owners act as private museums and messengers of history. I have had my bren carrier loaded with it's equipment at many carshows downtown, and never had anyone complain. It made it into the newspaper a time or two...no complaints.

It's never been a problem and instead of being thanked we get kicked in the gut. We 'private museums' get our stuff out for people to see and touch in carefully controlled environments, something dusty museums with stationary displays rarely do.

Amazing to me something we've done for decades is suddenly dangerous and needs shutting down. In an odd way it's 'them' that we are honouring and bringing their achievements to the public.

A once proud Canadian, I shall never, ever again, fly a Canadian flag nor display one on or near anything that I own.

Your government of the day obviously disapproves of what you do because you don't think right. You probably don't think the military is to be mocked and underfunded yet called upon to do any chore the government needs of them, or that history is something to be apologized for like they do. Our dear leader actually said that any interest in this equipment beyond seeing it as a tool (ie. if your interest was sport or history) you were 'fetishizing' it. What an absurd thing to say.

Perhaps we should get rid of golf courses as well as golf clubs. Many a person has fallen victim to these otherwise innocuous tools of the game when used in a violent manner. Golf courses in and of themselves, are vast spaces of overly fertilized greenspace that would certainly be more suited for the Greater Good for things likes housing developments, or ahem, even as places to grow food... eg Farmland. Think of the children. The environment suffers. Your golfing is not important to me. Providing places to live in peace without the weapons of the game potentially used in domestic violence situations far outweighs your need for an otherwise stupid sport. If you can call beating a ball to death a sport.
Furthermore, golf and country clubs encourage immoral behavior and out of control drinking. We all know where this leads... Booze, driving home, domestic assault once you get home and the wife beats you over the head with a frying pan because you've been gone all day and now you're drunk.
On that note, the wife. The frying pan. Instruments of certain death in the kitchen. Knives. Rolling pins. Where does this madness stop???

This what happens when you have the woke socialist running government which we in the UK found out, trying to rid the remaining guns we have left.

They knew in 2013...and did nothing...The RCMP can explain to those families why they did absolutely nothing...

There was also a report that his father was beat up by his son on a trip to Cuba, and also reported by his father to the RCMP that he had firearms. I think that was 4 or 5 years ago. RCMP chatted with him at the time then left.



One other report said he had a friend in the RCMP who had viewed his completed and decalled cruisers. He warned him not to take it onto the roadways.



Despite all this, the RCMP initially reported that he was not really known to them, indicating there was not much or nothing on CPIC about him.



And somehow it's our faults?
