For those of you who still believe you have property rights in Canada, and those that claim registration doesn't lead to confiscation...

So the 2000 or so owners of a 4000$ non restricted rifle are now required to just turn them over to the RCMP for destruction, because... well they said so. No compensation (which is a farce anyways, who pays for that??) just turn em over and go on pretending that you have property rights in Canada. What a joke.

A legally obtained piece of property, by legal gun owners, which has been available in Canada for almost 13 years, approved by the RCMP's firearms lab, which has never been used in the act of a crime in this country, is now deemed prohibited and illegal. A estimated $8,000,000 (not including accessories) worth of legally obtained Canadian property has been stolen by the RCMP with the stroke of a pen. And since no compensation has been offered (again, which is a joke) the RCMP recommend owners go after the dealer which they purchased the rifle from for compensation. Which would in effect have the potential to bankrupt private businesses.

RCMP, getting two birds stoned at once with this one.

But thank god, I couldn't sleep at night knowing these rifles were out there.
