RCMP making criminals of Canadians again

Swiss Arms Confiscated


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.

Harrumph! And you guys thought Toronto born Harper was going to put a stop to all of this!

Any aspiring your entrepreneurs on this board? Start an approved shooting range that you have to cross a lake by boat to get too.

[waterninja]

you would think that the rcmp would at least "grandfather" the existing owners and outlaw future sales of this now prohibted weapon, as they have done with other firearms that were reclassified from restricted to prohibited.

Weren't two threads enough?

[dcampbster]

What if it is one of your gun collection next ?

[stuckincity]

Since when do the police make the laws?

I thought that was the job of the legisature or parliament.

Scary.

I thought it may have been important to some who don't go back 2-10 days on forum comments.

FYI: Bumping an existing thread with a comment of you own accomplishes the same thing. How's the view from up on that high horse?

Interesting typo... seems to be habitual.

For some reason I'm doubtful that you are as new here as your name is.

Interesting that you wish to draw moderator attention to yourself so fast as well.

Hmmmm.... wish granted.
