Handgun sales in Canada


Recommended Posts

Gun stores are reporting huge sales of handguns due to Trudeau's recent handgun freeze announcement.  The Bill hasn't passed through parliament yet, but I expect there won't be any handguns available from gun stores by next week.  The gang bangers will be still be ok as the illegal gun importation from the U.S. will still be in operation.  Drones are the latest in importing illegal handguns across the border.  Indian Reserves in Canada that share the border with Indian Reservations in the U.S. is another popular open gate for gun smuggling.  So far there is no mention of a government buyback program for handguns as there is for assault rifles.  At the moment, when I pass on, my handguns will be surrendered to the government for destruction with no re numeration.  If this bill passes, the dollar value of my handguns to me or my estate will be 0, zilch, nada.

Do you think it will pass?

The two Left Wing Parties in Canada, the NDP (New Democratic Party and the governing Liberals have joined forces.

The Liberals won the most seat, during the election, but did not have a majority. Theoretically, the Opposition Parties could have defeated them in a Non-confidence vote and triggered another election.

Fearing this, the Lieberal I mean Liberal and NDP joined forces, to pave the way to create a Socialist Utopia to your North.

Since the Left Wing now can do what it wants, the proposed law will likely pass, barring some pretty significant protests and lobbying.

They could also simply write and Order In Council (OIC) have it signed by the Governor General and make the ban law by decree, much like they have done banning the AR-15 and all it's derivatives.

I presume your handguns have to be registered? Why do they get surrendered when you pass? Is this how the law works there with respect to legally owned firearms?

Seems like getting rid of this bunch is going to a long, difficult fight. 

The government is not my daddy, and is not God. I don't want, or need, them to run my life from cradle to grave.

What's it going to take to boot this dictator out of office? 

 

The eternal choice of mortal man...to endure oppression, or to resist.

All handguns, owned by Canadians were supposed to be registered starting in 1934. 

Compliance among law-abiding, legal handgun owners, has been exemplary

Gangsters, street and drug thugs however, are a different story but are catered to by the Liberal government, who simply ignore their activities.

As a result, the criminals are among the largest groups supporting successive Liberal governments.

Thank you for the explanation. I agree with your summation that there is a difference in theory and in practice between free citizens lawfully owning firearms and criminals owning and using firearms and how the law applies to each and it's after effects. We know that more gun laws only negatively impact those who are not criminals as criminals by definition don't follow the law to begin with. Draconian gun laws will only further strip free law abiding citizens of their rights and have no impact on criminals.

 

 But I'm curious, what if upon your passing your guns were simply not available to be located to be turned over to the government? What then?

 

These new laws being proposed by the left in both our countries will only serve to make potenially tens of millions of law abiding gun owners into criminals overnight. Great plan. :angry:

A fair question, one to which we will not get an answer.

Here are some theories' and a typical answer when a question is asked.

Indian Reserves in Canada that share the border with Indian Reservations in the U.S. is another popular open gate for gun smuggling.  

 

 

When I was going through gunsmithing school many moons ago one of my fellow students was a Canadian Indian . He always described life on the reservation as much different than Canada. He always claimed the Canadian Indians hated the government worse than the American Indians did . Don’t remember what tribe he was but he was from the western end of Canada

They will likely make a deal with the USA, and you can buy all the Firearms they STEAL from us ....

They already tried to do a similar move, when they tried to have all cars over 15 years of age with V-8 engines turned over to the government with-out compensation.

They had a deal in place to sell them south of our boarder...

Looking at the state of Canada and the US right now it’s hard to believe there is not election fraud because neither of our leaders are doing anything to benefit their people , and the seem to have no fear of repercussions . We certainly live in interesting times

Back in the 90s, Connecticut had a 10 day wait for handguns if you didn't have a carry permit. Don't know about rifles, I got my permit and that ended that.

  • 3 weeks later...

Last day to buy a handgun in Canada will be around 04 October this year. So shooting sports like Cowboy Action, IPSC, IDPAS, 3 Gun, etc will probably expire up here within 20 years.

This is only if this new legislation is passed. Right now my guns are willed to my son as he has a gun license for both hand guns and long guns.

Vermont..... Fill out 4473, pass background check, take firearm home. Most of the time less than a few minutes. As it should be for a Constitutional right. :FlagAm:
