The Canadian Conservitive party's stance on airguns?

[Rhak]

Hey everyone,
I've been looking through the Internet looking for information on the conservative’s stance on the definition of firearms and air guns. I've also been looking at what they plan to do with the laws concerning obtaining air guns and so on and so forth, so far I have not been able to find much except some media twisted hate reports toward the conservatives on what they said about what they said about what she said he said... so could anyone post a link or provide some solid answers on what the Conservatives plan to do?

Thanks for your time,

Rhak

I'm pretty sure airguns aren't a big enough issue for them to have a written position on in their policy book.

I guess you didn't read today's paper!!! Harper has appointed two cabinet ministers and Gary Breitkreuz to undertake the destruction of the registry.

[scruffie]

Your shyt me. Sorry but that was my first reaction when I saw what you wrote. Know they promised but agree, did not think they were in a situation to do anything about it yet. My PAL comes for renewal in 3 months. If I didn't have to give that money to New Brunswick I could afford a CR600. Wait a minute, just dawned on me. Somebody we all know is moving to that neck of the woods. Isn't housing going to get cheaper when they lay those 200+ employees off.

Whoah...slow down there. The registration may be shut down but the PAL will continue...there's no doubt about that.

Hmmm not really much difference. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should be fully tested for firearm handling and have a full backround check done before they are allowed to purchase a fire arm. In 1978 when I received my FAC to purchase 2 beautiful Rem. 30:06 Semi. Carbines . They were registered at the time of purchase with my FAC# at the shop which had to keep a record for 5 years and had to submit a copy to the RCMP who kept it on record. Times haven't changed. If I wish to purchase a fire arm my PAL# will be used and registered in the purchase process along with the serial#. The original FAC database that the RCMP was supposed to keep was lost in a data transfer back in 93. The same as now days. A nice way for the cops to say we want nothing to do with the logistics of it. The only thing I can see with the cancelling of the registry is that the millions of illegal firearms not register will be legal again. I might even have 1 or 2 favorites the got missed by mistake cause alzheimer's had set in by then already

A correction back when the FAC first came out the gunshop was required to record the gun and name of purchaser and keep the book for five years.
They were not required to give a copy to the RCMP there was a seperate registration process for guns required to be registered handguns for instance.
I just hope our Prime Minister is good to his word and core values.

So if the registry is destroyed, we will be able to buy over 500 fps airguns with out registering them? All you gotta do is show them you PAL or FAC??

[MCJROTC]

Im just wondering how would anyone know if your rifle is over 500 fps?
Or can you not buy one without first getting somekind of license?

[scruffie]

Must apologize Voltare1 Sorry long time ago and got it mixed up

Police must keep records of all gun transactions they approve or are informed about, except that police need not keep a list of F.A.C. holders on file.[71] The police are specifically barred from asking for the serial numbers or other identification of guns that are not restricted weapons.[72] Gun dealers must keep records of their sales, but need not report long gun transactions to the police. After five years, the dealer may discard his transaction records.[73](p.13)

Take from Bill C-51 in 1977 that started this whole mess because of two kids running amok at a school with rifles. We wouldn't have any bad boys like that on our forum would we? Well maybe one I'm not to sure of

[MCJROTC]

Wow, that blows well as long as you stick to the .22 cal your pretty much fine.

[Jester]

Why does everyone hate the registry so much anyway? As much as I'd like to be able to buy high powered airguns without having to register them, I reallyy don't find it all that inconvenient... it's just a couple of phone calls. I know it's really not necessary, and is a big waste of money, but is there other issues that I'm not aware of?

[MCJROTC]

I dont have to but imagine because its a waste of time and does nothing exept punish the colectors and target shooters. If someone wants a gun to harm someone their not gonna register it. We got sumah that same liberal BS in the states too.

[scruffie]

The problem is now they know exactly what you have and where to go to get them when they, in their infinite wisdom, happen to decide that that this type of firearm is now illegal. Google Austraila and see what was going on prior to them banning firearms. Imagine them showing up at your door. Mr Jester we know you have this firearm as you registered it but unfortunatley this airgun is now banned and we must now seize it, and i am sorry sir but there is no compensation. This is not the sky is falling as it has already happened in other countrys. Check your history as Hitler did this prior to WW11. I want the government OUT OF MY BEDROOM.
Damn! I'm turning into a Redneck
