As most Canadians, I don't fear government confiscating my firearms. Under our parliamentary system, when they cross the line into unwarranted authoritarianism we always throw them out, as we did the registry and government with it.
You may not fear it. Most Canadian's may not fear it (as they don't own firearms). But most firearms owners do fear it. Why? Two reasons. First our sham Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which has allowed our Supreme Court, nine appointed people, to overrule our elected Parliament, says nothing about property rights. That wasn't an oversight, it was deliberate. Second, the RCMP, the organization that decides what is prohibited and what is restricted, has numerous times, arbitrarily and with no public consultation, ruled previously legal firearms to be prohibited. And those who bought and owned perfectly legal guns, then had to turn them in. No compensation.

[quote=James M]This is a very lengthy article describing how the FBI does a firearms trace and their associated problems in doing so. The article is opinionated(anti-NRA and Anti-gun) but it's the most comprehensive description of the process I've ever seen. This information is detailed and probably NOT of interest to all the members here.
IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS DON'T BOTHER READING IT! Jim
I would not bother reading this. Don't worry the Empire will crumble economically well before the guns are registered and taken away from you.

King claimed to have once owned a full-auto Sten. So what did he tell us he did when government regulations became too onerous? Did he utilize his wondrous lobbying and organizing skills to reverse the encroachment or to elect a more Gun Friendly Parliament??? No. He caved like a tent in a tornado and got rid of it. That is, if the story about actually owning a Sten was true in the first place. He claims he sold it to someone in the U.S. That's quite interesting considering the troubles Canadians have simply moving unrestricted double guns back and forth across the border. It leaves me wondering how a Sten that wasn't registered under the NFA of 1934 was legally transferred into the U.S. and sold here. Here's yet another place where King admitted to illegally transporting a pistol around Canada for decades, and once again admitting to crossing into the U.S. with one stashed in his plane. I have been a licensed pilot for nearly 60 years, an aircraft owner for more than 50. A constant companion in its leather-bound strapped case is a Savage 24 .22-20 gauge. I forgot to remove a pistol attending Oshkosh in '83, a no-no mentioned here a week or so ago. I also carried a pistol illegally in my fishing kit for decades in every part of Canada when you could buy a new Ruger for $35 and the law left you alone if you acted responsibly. It still does. With his penchant for violating Canadian Firearms laws, it's no wonder he isn't in favor of lifting restrictions on handguns.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

I hate to be a stickler for accuracy (no I don't. LOL) But almost all the issues that arise moving unrestricted (As per Canadian regs)guns and their parts across our borders, have their origins in US regulations. It is US Customs and ATF that make things hard. Not Canada.

All true, James. Way of the world. You left out all the secret surveillance and Canadians, like the Americans with their Patriot Act, didn't say boo.

....looking at it solely from gun rights. Her win would settle gun control once and for all time. Making it more precarious is being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. You know what Clinton will do but the newcomer owing no one . . .? I hate the notion of any electorate voting from fear, either way. Have faith and pursue. Durn King. Are using gun control to campaign for the evangelical vote. Being an amateur stickler, sorta like cback, how can a progressive settle anything once and for all? edit to add: boo

Gentlemen (on all sides of this thread),
I find this thread to be an inspiration. I have a great idea. Is there a way that I can send a PM to more than one person at a single time?

James, I didn't take Geo's earlier reference to a direct frontal attack on traditional gun rights as much another skirmish of us and them, or as something particularly partisan on the part of "progressives." His was a declarative warning that in the current cultural climate of fear and increasingly severe security measures, incipient racial disorder affecting administration of justice, eight years of Clinton/Court hegemony would settle the struggle, as I said, once and for all time. Shooters will keep their guns. How they use them will be unrecognizable from what it is today, with majority public consent.
