The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Halifax Tar]

It was reported as about 47K..... I'm thinking it's going to hit just over 50K and that'll be it.

Interesting thing - with the case in front of the SCC, there will be a strong consideration for an extension to the Amnesty until the ruling is passed.

That is massively low numbers.

I think we may be seeing mass non-compliance. Which heartens me.

Not a Canadian law (yet) but this is the dumb idea of the month out of Illinois. Imagine the font size needed for .17 HMR or .22 cal.

That, and the tendency for soft metal (like lead) to lose it's shape after muzzle velocity/impact; or FMJs to splinter.

Only thing that would be good for is tracing back rounds bought together if a weapon is found in the commission of a crime. Then again, unspent rounds are pretty weak sauce evidence.

Mass non-compliance might also be used as an excuse to hammer firearms even harder, since so many "lawful" owners refused to follow the law...

Might not impact middle aged and older people in rural areas, but it could kill firearms for future generations of the government goes hard on ammunition sales, and further restrictions on action types.

Especially when you consider there's something like 95,000 registered AR15s alone.

Maybe those numbers don't include AR15s or other formerly restricted rifles?

Having said that, anyone who is a serious shooter should be making their own ammo.

I know they can't overtly pressure the SCC for a decision, but like the Emergency Act appeal, the government is going to be pushing for a speedy resolution. They need those things passed for whatever future plans they have.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

We have to remember, many people went and signed up just to see what firearms the government knew about. In order to look at your file, you need to agree to turn the firearms in. Many won't. Some will. The government already knows how many AR-15 type rifles are out there, they can extrapolate their high numbers from that, or the amount of people that wanted to look at their file. I don't for a single second, doubt that this government is trying to keep this alive by inflating the numbers. Prohibited firearms in the wild does not translate to guns turned in. They have also been using numbers from seizures from retail businesses. One of the first things the CCFR needs to do is challenge all numbers before the real nitty gritty starts.

Criminals don't care about numbers. They'll either remove them or get their ammo somewhere else. The gun is likely already stolen, a few serialised rounds won't stop their use.
