“Forearm owners?” LOL! For a moment there, I thought the Canadian government might have hilariously screwed up its banning decree. But, just a typo.
When I saw the patronizing “Deserve Better Than Thoughts and Prayers” announcement by Premier Trudeau, I thought that Canadian firearm owners were probably wishing they had their own 5th Amendment style guarantee of firearm ownership. US experience with it isn’t perfect but it does create a fundamental right the government must justify encroaching on.
Sorry about the mispelling of “firearm.”
I do not believe Canadian law abiding firearm owners will comply with this ban.
New Zealand had to walk their ban back.Canada is apparently following the New Zealand model of buy back.
I have spoken to several AR-15 owners here in Canada. None of us will voluntarily comply with this “ban” without a court hearubg or a court order. This ban is “retroactive legislation,” and according to Canadian jurisprudence, a law or regulation cannot extinguish property rights already granted. They can change current and future rights to acquire such firearms, but hey can’t make people give them up, other than voluntarily.
Huge Civil Disobedience coming in Canada.
At least it wasn’t foreskin owners!
That would SURELY raise some eyebrows!
