Yes to both questions or yes to the first question. Your answer is a bit ambiguous and doesn't tell me a whole lot. Can you be a bit more specific please?

I reckon he's of the same opinion... You need to be more clear, as to which list you're referring to...

There's the "original list", with items such as the Uzi - Tech 9 - AK47 & variants - etc.

Or are you inquiring about the "new list", which is currently being amended by the Powers That Be ?

Bill Blair has not released anything yet whatsoever.
He stated to media that he, and his office, would not do so prior to completion of their plan in its' entirety to prevent panic buying.
In other words they don't want to allow you to go buy any of the non-restricted but "to be banned" firearms before they announce all the details.
Presumably this would also mean they would bring this into law via an Order in Council which would effectively eliminate the possibility of this being debated in parliament - thus becoming law incredibly swiftly.....
That is all anyone knows.
The rest is pure speculation at this time.

Yes, sorry about that, I should be a bit more specific. I was referring to that "new" list being put out. Will they go after the rim fire semi autos like the Ruger 10/22? These are the only semi autos that my wife and I own and would sure hate like hell to lose them to those goofs in ottawa.

There is no new or old list per se.
The Liberals announced they would be getting tougher on gun control.
Trudeau is known to be aligned in his firearm philosophies with that of his counterpart in New Zealand where they banned pretty much everything including lever actions and semi 22's.
They have openly mentioned the Mini 14 and the AR15 by name. They have stated they will be going after "military style assault weapons" and allowing municipalities to ban handguns. There is no accepted definition for military style assault weapons...
This is virtue signalling with no logic, rhyme or reason to it.
Of course it is entirely possible they will go after rimfires, especially if magazines are available for them of a capacity larger than 5 rounds.
Again, they may not, but who knows what is in store for us.
All I can say is if you haven't already then sign petition E-2341 and write letters to your MP, Bill Blair and Trudeau and let them know what you think !
This isn't going to stop with just one type, class or style of firearm - it is the beginning of something much much larger to be sure.

This forum is full of pure conjecture and speculation on this topic and many others. I am not saying we should not be concerned, but we should also not become alarmists either. Our voices to our legislators is critical.

If someone can post anything credible, from the government or legislators, of substance, then we can discuss it intelligently.

Nothing public.

The possibility is very good.

EVERY firearm (yes, that includes grandpa's old 1894) will eventually be on "the list". The leftists want you disarmed.

I figure the list will include any black rifle capable of semi-automatic fire. Ignorant politicians figure it's the only way to stop the gangbangers in our biggest cities from killing each other with illegal handguns.
