Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I have started to wonder if some sort of “compromise” will try to be struck on “assault weapons” where , as in fully automatic weapons, the firearm may or may not be tax stamped but the manufacture will be ceased although you could buy pre 202x year “assault rifles.” The supply and demand affect of this would ultimately price these arms beyond a reasonable threshold. And maybe this idea has been floated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Or, taking a page from the Canadian Prime Minister's play book, grab an incident before learning all the facts (Or before the facts come out!) and simply ban all types or variations and makes of a particular firearm, by Executive Action, with no debate or hearings.

There are at least 2 or 3 fairly pro-gun Democrats and at least one Independent in the Senate who have opposed an "assault weapon" ban. There are probably more members in the House who recognize that voting for gun control could cost them their seats in 2022 and pretty much nothing is more important to them then keeping their seat in Congress. And anything Congress does pass could be struck down by the Supreme Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was done without Parliamentary debate, by an Order In Council, (OIC) drafted by the PM's office (PMO) and signed into law by the Governor General, Julie Payette. It is being challenged in court, but with Canadian courts stacked with left leaning Judges, it may not get far. Meanwhile, the intent of the government is to use tax dollars to "Buy-Back" the newly prohibited, legally owned firearms. In regards to the second part of you question, Trudeau took part in a self coronation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Andrew Cuomo of New York pushed his SAFE Act (which included an assault weapons ban) through the state legislature without allowing for the usual floor debate. They voted on it right away and it became law before anyone could even say "hey, wait a minute..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why AK's, FAL's, H&K PT-91's are a lot more expensive than they were before the EO. A minimum of 3 parts from a list have to be US mfg. A lot of the "new" AK's are made from used parts kits.
