Directly intervening may be toxic, but doing something that shows the helplessness of the IRGC and SL may be on the menu.

I'm wondering if they're going to just going to declare the firearms on the list as prohibited, grandfather individual owners, and leave an indefinite voluntary "buyback" scheme in place to drop the costs to nearly nothing but also not admit defeat. They'll then claim they got the guns "off the...

Thanks everyone. CMTT got back to me. BLUF is they contract it and will ship it to my address as the embassy doesn't have a terminal. I'm trying to confirm they use a customs broker to deal with the customs issues.

Thanks!

Can't it ship to a support unit even without a CMTT terminal?

Anyone have any experience shipping UAB via CMTT to the USA? I'm headed unaccompanied and don't need a move of HG+E, but don't plan on bringing my vehicle. So, my option is basically that.

Try to get a POC at the unit conducting the OJT and let your Sgt (or Adjt if you're an officer) know that you don't have the proper insignia/badges. They'll sort you out.

Sorry guys...my mental disability of assuming the primacy of evidence-based and reasoned policy is causing unnecessary army.ca traffic.

I'm puzzled by the Olympic Shooter "loophole." What is it? I haven't seen hordes of "Olympic shooters" buying anything really.

The way the trajectory is going on regulating property my weed wacker will need to be registered under an Ontario maintenance-equipment permitting system by 2028.

Sorry, but any source on the Ruger 10/22 rumour? I know the LPC has really gone on a tear, but confiscating all of them would be a ridiculously huge lift.

Hmm. Does Polysouvient have statistics to back up that assertion? I recall "evidence-based policy making" used to be a thing...

Intelligence only works if you have a strategy. Then, you can set priorities, calculate gain/loss against risk, and decide what way you want to pursue collection. I suspect Canada's issue is not intelligence education, it's primarily deciding on a national strategy in line with national interests.

I'm feeling a tad bit validated after being viciously attacked by my peers in 2006ish for expressing regret Canada did not choose to contribute to BMD. My argument at the time that even if it wasn't 100pc, the data exchange benefits alone would help other areas. Well, this certainly proves the...

Hasn't this been quietly happening with the new "Tactical Groupings" mentioned above wrt the Brockville Rifles and PWOR? Also agree that this is like moving one set of deck chairs to another level of the Titanic.
