1 May 2020 Canadian firearms legislation changes

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...

If our friends introduced this sweeping ban in response to the Nova Scotia rampage (as they clearly stated is was) then it is premature as the investigation isn't complete so they have no way of knowing if their measures will have any useful effect. The evidence so far shows the ban is completely off base with the crime.

If our friends are using the Nova Scotia rampage to slam in their ban then they are politically capitalizing on a tragedy to push though something that has nothing to do with it. Oh, and in the middle of a pandemic with no parliament or public debate.

No matter how you slice it, it doesn't make our friends look very good.

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?

The minute they linked the ban to mr. violet-crazy truth stopped mattering. Using tragedy as an opportunity is what should be banned.

Losing your property and investment is one thing. Losing it to lies is something else again.

Same BS here. Australian came to live here. Had a firearms licence in 5 weeks due to not being vetted properly (current P.M. relaxed the rules) Police were in the process of getting rid of the vetting officers. Police issued a permit to buy 3200 rounds of ammo. The 1984 arms act is said to be the best firearms legislation in the world. They've changed it all. It is now the fault of the legally licensed. Same crap here and there...............

As of the 15th of this month, the Trudeau government has added 255 more firearms to the OIC ban. More semi's, pump and bolt action firearms. It looks like this thing is open ended. Please make use of the E-petitions (E-2574, E-2576) if you want to have any sport shooting at all left in this country.

And unlike the banned firearms listed in the OIC, these new banned ones aren't published anywhere (or not anywhere the average person would even know to start looking) so you can become a criminal in possession of a prohibited item and not even know it.
