RCMP to confiscate more guns before registry ends

"With the firearms registry on death's door, the RCMP are using what little time remains to reclassify and seize certain scary-looking guns from Canadian firearms owners.

"Among the guns being seized is a small-calibre varmint rifle called the Armi Jager AP80. Like many non-restricted rifles, it is semi-automatic and fires the .22-calibre bullet, the smallest and weakest used in any long gun.

"The AP80 has been singled out because it looks too much like the infamous AK-47 assault rifle, although it shares no parts or technical similarities with that infamous battle rifle.

"On Dec. 20, the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program — the office charged with administering gun control regulations in Canada — served hundreds of registered firearms owners with a "notice of revocation."

"'This notice is to inform you that the firearm registration certificates indicated below have been revoked,' says the letter, obtained by Postmedia News. 'You have 30 days to deliver your firearms to a peace officer, firearms officer... or to otherwise lawfully dispose of them.'"

Gun control proponents always like to argue that gun registration doesn't harm law-abiding citizens and that this kind of thing doesn't happen, but this serves as yet another example that it DOES happen, and of how governments use gun registration to change the rules after-the-fact to turn law-abiding citizens into criminals and to confiscate their guns using those registration lists.

I really like that Canadian.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

This is a case of civil servants deliberately thwarting the wishes of their political masters. The police fought the ending of the registry and now they are fighting the destruction of the database.
People who think cops defend freedom are fools. They defend order, nothing more.

Registering prohibited firearms
If you did not re-register your prohibited firearms by the January 1, 2003 deadline, you have lost your grandfathered privileges for them and must deactivate or dispose of them. But as long as the firearms were registered on December 1, 1998, they are grandfathered and you can sell or give them to someone who is licensed to acquire that class of prohibited firearm.

Looks like the RCMP are making good use of available tools to ensure the greatest possible percentage of newly prohibited arms are removed. A gun registry is after all designed to track where guns are (whether or not 100% effective). And why track guns if you can't control them?

It is interesting to know who can change the list of guns allowed (RCMP), and how fast they seem to be able to change them. Sounds like a gun owner can buy something one day, and have it prohibited the next.

I don't mind the idea of registering guns (just like, say, airplanes) but am not a fan of being subject to sudden rules changes, whether or not I'm into that particular activity.

"Attention swoopers, your activity is now deemed to be dangerous. Please hand in all your crossbraced and sub 100 canopies within 30 days for destruction."

I think it's a good thing. The US has waited 199 years for the chance to re-invade Canada militarily, so this should make it easier. Except for that one Canadian sniper. Watch out for him.

Just don't give him any American made ammunition.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You invade, we blow the dams. Power goes out down the eastern seaboard. Americans start shooting each other within 48hours, troops go home to restore order. You don't think we know you are coming? We just don't tell you our other tricks. You think TK is down there to run a DZ? HA!

Relax mon ami, everything is on schedule. Once we get our garçon in the maison blanc it will all fall into place. Gingrich is the only one who sees through our plan but no one is listening to him.

Bill to end gun registry passes vote

The Harper government's bill to end the long gun registry has passed the House of Commons, marking the end of a long political battle over one of the most controversial law-enforcement measures in recent memory.

The bill passed easily, by a margin of 159 to 130, as the Conservatives used their majority in the House to secure its passage. It now goes to the Senate where the Conservatives also have a majority. The Senate hearings are expected to take several weeks before the bill is passed into law.

Once that happens, RCMP officials will begin deleting information in a massive database that provides details to police on what types of firearms registered gun owners possess...

I read yesterday that Qubec wants the data for their state. The bill to end the registry requires that the data be destroyed
Quebec is going to sue the Fed to get the data

Senate votes to kill long-gun registry

"The Conservative government vowed during the 2011 election to eliminate the long-gun registry. On Wednesday night, the bill to officially end the registry had its final vote in the Senate — leaving only a signature from the Governor General needed to officially kill the registry. That signature signing Bill C-19 into law should come Thursday morning. By a vote of 50-27, senators approved the bill, marking the last political hurdle needed to kill the registry..."

Quebec isn't quite ready to admit defeat on this failed scheme yet though:

Destruction of long-gun registry records halted at eleventh hour by Quebec court

"The destruction of records from the now defunct long-gun registry has been halted at the eleventh hour by an injunction from a Quebec court. Judge Jean-Francois de Grandpre of Quebec Superior Court granted a request by the Quebec government for an injunction to stop Ottawa from trashing the gun-registry records Thursday afternoon. As a result, Ottawa has been forbidden to destroy documents in the registry... Quebec has asked Ottawa repeatedly to hand over records on the 1,560,359 long guns registered in Quebec so that it could use the information to create its own registry..."
