Application / Regulation advice If push comes to shove - destruction question

I have absolutely no intention of forfeiting my working AR15 to the state.

That being said, if it comes down to the wire and they start leaning on us even harder as October 30 approaches, are they expecting to steal intact, working rifles?

Because I have a chop saw, and will cut my rifle into pieces and bring the scraps in a bag to the cop shop. Because fuck ’em is why.

Being the dickhead statists they are, you would probably have to make sure that the scraps have a “trigger lock” and are enclosed in a locked hard sided container.

Any thoughts?

They generally they do not have the time or resources to attend in person for matters like this, so most of the time the response you receive will be by email. I learned this firsthand years ago when Bill C‑68 came into effect. At the time, I had two AK‑47 war new relics wrapped and still in the create from the Vietnam war that had been stored away for decades. When the legislation changed, the RCMP arrived with the appropriate paperwork, and all that was required was a sign‑off so the items could be legally exported. Unfortunately, the situation became unnecessarily complicated, and in the end I destroyed them myself, which resulted in a loss of approximately $50,000. It was a costly lesson learned. So just work in the system or do you and join the militia fractions that are starting up that i do not agree with.
