Grandfathering is a trap. It's confiscation over a longer period of time

They'll get you to willingly register and you can bet your ass it won't be with use and they'll rug pull it down the road. We've seen this episode before.

Indeed, but at least it gives a potential Conservative majority the chance to implement " with use".

It's not unrealistic considering it's already where we are at with handguns.

All we are left with rn is no compensation and major legal liability. Grandfathering with future use is the only realistic outcome short of full on Tin Foil Hat grade stuff.

That's not how that will work. Grandfathering closes the book on that part of ownership entirely. It'd be the final fuck you moment at arms ownership.

A nebulous and death by a thousand cuts level of ownership? Yeah I guess. Handguns are mia for majority of folks and the work required to amend c21 is gonna suck.

You don't want grandfathering. You think you do but youre wrong. At least being stuck in the grey zone of extended amnesty means you can readdress the issue down the road.

Plus registration leads to confiscation and the first step of grandfathering is, guess what? Building a list of newly registered items.

The conservatives will have an easier time if we don't get grandfathering.

Can you buy grandfathered guns or no?

It really depends how they'd go about it.

I highly suspect they'll just rot in the safe with zero use options.
