The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

This is why we need third party appraisers in any program that takes property, be it firearms, land, etc, backed by a hearing system in case of serious dispute. Government has its own interests.

when the Province of Ontario expropriated our land there was a third party appraiser. I assumed that was normal?

We have our own hearing system, it's called the House of Commons.

To clarify - expropriation is a public policy tool that erodes the very trust that underpins our prosperity. I acknowledge it must exist, but it should be checked with procedural elements that can't be done away with via simple legislation. The firearms and Alto files annoy me to no end.

It's supposed to be a basic element of procedural fairness in a process our whole society should view as very hazardous to the public interest. If I had my way, expropriation would be used very, very sparingly. That said, some people seem hell bent on even getting rid of that basic check on rampant government.

Or... We stop voting in a Gov that want to take peoples property away.

Especially a government whose bureaucracy leans toward “what do YOU need a gun for?”

This law could really screw with any Cadet programs working out of schools and churches. I get what they were trying to do, but it just makes things more difficult for law abiding people.

Confusion reigns supreme. The amnesty has already been extended to a date 90 days after the SCC releases it's decision. And that information is on the Public Safety Canada webpage. However, according to the RCMP website, the amnesty is still set to expire in 29 days.

So don't have to turn in firearms until sometime in 2027, whenever the SCC makes its determination?

Surprisingly, the RCMP website was updated to correct the amnesty expiry date the day after I made my post here that pointed out the discrepancy. You're only paranoid if you think you're being watched.

If the GoC wins at the SCC, then the amnesty expires 90 days after the SCC decision is published.

If the GOC loses at the SCC, then, no, not right away. Rest assured that Public Safety is quite probably working on replacement legislation that will continue the bans.
