Registration means confiscation
« on: February 28, 2014, 08:42:33 AM »
Once again the RCMP have re-classified a rifle from non-restricted to prohibited.

Apparently this was signed off by the Safety Minister Steven Blaney

From the NFA web site;

Effective 10:00 pm eastern tonight the RCMP has reclassified the Swiss Arms Classic Green carbine from non-restricted (and restricted) to prohibited status. There are approximately 1,000 -1,800 of these firearms in the public. The government will not be offering compensation and will be demanding that the firearms, which cost between $3,000 - $4,000 be surrendered. The government is suggesting that all affected firearms owners contact the distributers from which the firearms were purchased for reimbursement.

The NFA encourages all affected owners to contact their federal Member of Parliament.

This is part of an ongoing agenda of the RCMP to progressively prohibit firearms in Canada.

Under Bill C-68, the firearms classification system was supposed to be updated regularly to prohibit firearms being introduced into the market, as well as those already in Canada.

The Government of Canada was supposed to assist in this with periodic new legislation and Order in Council (OIC).

The RCMP have been doing this unilaterally since 2006.

Access to information records show that RCMP have an aggressive firearms reclassification agenda, and that prohibitions will not stop with the Swiss Arms Series Rifles.

These rifles were approved for import by the RCMP have been sold in Canada for over a decade. Owners once held registrations for them under the now defunct long gun registry.

There has never been a crime or incident of violence committed with one of these rifles.



NFA condemns this RCMP assault on the rights and private property of law abiding Canadians. The RCMP has shown contempt for the rights of Canadians by their actions, and we expect the Government of Canada to take steps and introduce measures to reign in the RCMP and end the assault against the rights, property and freedoms of Canadians.

Shameful, disappointing, and scary. It's about time the RCMP were reeled in.

Despite being an ardent supporter of the cpc, and the reform party before it I'm finding the difference between the cpc and the far left parties blurring.

If the cpc expects to retain it's support they'd better remember who elected them.   I'd suggest if anyone does not want to become active at least donate some money or join the NFA.  https://nfa.ca/

Unlike the cpc there is no question of the nfa's beliefs concerning property ownership.

If you believe the RCMP should not have the power to suddenly turn law abiding citizens into criminals with the stroke of a pen please sign this petition http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/the-rcmp-abuses-c-68.html

This one today  >:(


CZ-858 PROHIBITED

Confirmed CZ858 has been reclassified as Prohibited see FRT tables for details. There are 9394 imported at 700 dollars per unit that would be 6.5 million dollars of hard earned law abiding money.

I understand you can add antique colts to the list as well.  This is just the start.

I have NO confirmation on this, but I just heard that Mossberg 500's were on, "the list", to be, "reviewed".  Again, don't take this as gospel, but then again, they are available with that evil pistol grip making them look scary.  (just like the one's the police use).

You didn't really think they'd leave you with your duckgun did you?

My feelings can be summed up with the following:



Remember, this pic could well have been taken right here in Alberta, only 1 generation ago.





IMO it's really simple.  We put a stop to this or we get ready to board the train.

What Bruce said the only thing that's going to work is to pressure the Government. Join the NFA. The RCMP don't think you should be able to carry the kind of firepower that they carry on a daily basis, I disagree. As a law abiding citizen I should have the same right to defend myself as they do.

          Signed the petition and completely agree.  I'm sure they are relying on complacency to let this thing pass without to much of a fuss but we aren't that dumb.
