It's a very sad day here in the Great White North. Our Liberal government and Prime Minister Trudeau announced a list of 1500 firearms that are now prohibited. Many of these were already listed as restricted which entail a special license, having the gun registered, only allowed to be fired at an approved range, special license to be able to transport from your house to the range, to a gunsmith or to the police station, only by a direct route of travel with it locked and in a locked case. ( all hand guns have these same rules )
The list of prohibited guns includes essentially all center fire semi-auto rifles: Bushmaster, AR15 or any variant, Ruger Mini14 etc. etc.
Also included is any gun that creates more than 10,000 joules of energy (7,400 foot pounds). The target here are .50 cal rifles, but also includes many big game rifles: 460 Weatherby, many of the Nitro Express, etc.
This was done in the name of safety, and was pushed through using a Order In Council, which is a way to bypass any parliamentary debate or democratic process. With the stroke of a pen it is done.
There is a 2 year amnesty period which the government is using to come up with a buy-back program. This is more like theft in my opinion, using tax dollars to pay for something that people have legally owned for decades. Grrrr. It sounds like you may have the option to keep the gun under a grandfather clause, but it can never see the light of day, simply a safe queen.
I feel we are on a downward slope here. Our Liberal government, lead by fancy socks Trudeau is headed towards a UN / globalist doom.
Sorry for the long post, I needed to vent.
