The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Colin Parkinson]

I bought a Webely for $50 in 1980's, it's now worth $900. Apparently my Mosin Nagant I bought for $375 is now worth $1100 judging by gun show prices. Then my No. 4 for $25 also up around $900.

 

[Haggis]

I bought an FN High Power for $225 back in 1980. Until last August it's resale value was around $1300. It is now worth nothing and will be destroyed when I die.

Have a friend slip it into your casket

Have your executor throw an unknown bag across the border to a person that may or may not be me, and I would send cash back

Apparently I left Canada at the correct time, I got a very good dollar for my M203 and AG/C 40mm Grenade Launchers, as well as my 12(5) Rifles and 12(6) Pistols as well as standard pistols and some unrestricted rifles and shotguns.

As much as I like your idea, because the HP is registered the government knows where to find it. As my executor cannot take posession of it or sell or transfer it, once my death is recorded, the government will order forfeiture and destroy it along with all my other handguns.

All you handgun guys should take your guns on a nice peaceful day of canoeing on a really deep lake, and soon.

Therein lies an issue as well. Humans are subject to a variety of stresses including having your families safety threatened if you do not hand over the information on that list. Like where the registered firearms are so that we may steal them.

 

[Humphrey Bogart]

The reason I asked is I recently met someone who invested in scotch and whiskey. And it as part of his long term financial plan. Wasn’t his only plan and I doubt he’d be starving if it didn’t work out but was part of it. It made me think that this may be a similar sort of thing.

It's called wealth preservation.

Appreciating vs Depreciating assets. Art, Land, Antiques, etc are all Appreciating assets. This is why Rich people, particularly the ultra wealthy, buy things like art, luxury goods, land, properties, etc.

Cash/money is actually a depreciating asset due to inflation. This is why hording cash and "saving" is not a smart way to make money or build wealth.

Firearms, especially antique ones, are absolutely something that hold value and appreciate over time.

Question for the legal eagles.

Can a provincial Chief Firearms Office make up their own legislation? Or Rules ?

My understanding was they simply existed to administer the federal laws and legislation surrounding firearms.

Isnt that what Alberta and to a lessor degree Saskatchewan are doing?

I'm pretty happy my AR15s are registered as just receivers.

At the end of the day the legal part of the firearm is the serialized receiver.
Everything else is just uncontrolled parts.

Once they are banned and Team Red comes to collect them and we can't hand them over, then what? "They were lost you say?" "You didn't report that, did you?" CCC 105.1(a) requires the loss of a firearm to be reported "with reasonable despatch". Off to the gulag with you.

You'll love this. The Liberals made AR15 upper receivers prohibited devices.

And those of you who dare to disagree with the Eco Commissar.

My understanding was their plan was to put in place CFOs who wouldn't administer the new rules...

I stand to be corrected.

In conversation with a province they specifically wanted the ability to determine how they would enforce the firearms laws. The federal officers wouldn’t allow them to do so. For a long period Sask wasn’t sure it was going to do so but the current federal governments decisions has sped the conversion up.

I’ve made a comment a few times that people might want to start thinking about archery for sport and hunting…I have a 40yd range at the back of my property. Few foam targets, a 3D buck. Can’t see it from the road, no one even knows if I’m on it. I bought a single cam to start; I can tune it all myself at home.



I’m eyeing Excaliber crossbows now…

Four recurves, two compounds, and a crossbow here. Don’t get the practice time I should as I’m away working in the nice weather, but I generally hit what I’m pointing at. I’m a fan.

You're absolutely right.

I'm just not interested in archery. I wish I was...
