Time to go shopping.

A good day for Canadians who took back their freedom. Not only they dumped the LGR, but they dropped the proposed changes to the Explosives Act as an added bonus. I'm not jumping out to go shopping, but I have a half dozen rifles on order that should be showing up anytime. I'm inclined to pick up some more ammo though...

One question, if any one can answer. All the rifles that have been registered, are that keeping that info or dumping it. Or is a different agency going to take it, and then say that LGR info has been dumped. 😕 🙄 😐

All the Data in the LGR is going to be destroyed.

Quebec got an injunction to try to save the data from Quebec.

The Fed. gov has basically said "No, F U, we will not be giving the data to Quebec."

All information in the LGR will be deleted with no back up copies, exempting Quebec. No Government or RCMP will have an inventory of your non-restricted firearms. Only you know what you have. All license requirements remain the same. All non-restricted purchases require nothing more than a visual verification of current firearms license, and going forward, there is/will be a verification option available with the CFC. You will be able to call them and confirm that the person making a firearm purchase has indeed a valid Firearms License, but these calls will not be recording any specific information or tracking purchases.

The issue in Quebec is a calculated delay, but will have the same demise as the rest of Canada. The 1.9 million strong firearm community will not allow our brothers in Quebec to be thrown under the bus.

This was a HOT topic this weekend!

😆 😆 <<HAPPY DANCE>> 😆 😆

An important event to be sure. One of the few times stupid gun control legislation has been repealed, and in Canada no less!!

Actually, Quebec has gotten a temporary order to keep the registry from being deleted, so as it stands, all info will be kept. Another judge will be hearing the case to decide on the issue. Important to note...ALL records are being kept for the time being, NOT just those of Quebec. It may very well be that the records will be destroyed, but that remains to be seen. Quebec is thinking of starting it's own registry and has used that as an excuse to get the injunction.

The injunction that Quebec has been granted is only a delay in the destruction of those files. They have a few extra days to make a case, but that doesn't mean anything will be decided in the favor of Quebec politicians. Further to this, the Province of Quebec does not have possession of these records at this time, and its extremely doubtful they ever will. The Harper federal government is not going to bend over to one provinces political agenda. Bill C-19 is the law for all of Canada, including Quebec. These politicians are just farting in the wind with no hope of recovering any of the data, and even in losing, they will have a wonderful speech about how hard they tried to keep the registry, but the rest of Canada constantly ignores the needs of Quebec. These records do not belong to Quebec, they belong to the Federal government in which new law says they will be destroyed, and it will be a federal court , not a provincial one, that makes a ruling to hand over or withhold this information based on constitutional and privacy laws, provincial and political desires will not be determining factors.

Apart from the politicians, firearm owners simply need to "sell " the firearms out of province and then borrow them back indefinitely, as "borrowing" does not require records or updates. Besides, where is Quebec going to get the money to run a registry? They are flat assed broke and the Feds are not going to fund a provincial registry where they just dumped 2.7 million down the drain into a useless program.

“This September’s very close vote is the furthest we have come to dismantling the $2-billion wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry,” said Christopher McCluskey, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. “We will continue to work to scrap it.”

A wee bit more than $2.7 million.

A wee bit more than $2.7 million.

Typo, should be 2.7 BILLION
