As much as I completely hate the whole situation going on, that is completely false. There is still money left in the fund and no small gun shops did not go out of business because of this. If a small gun shop went out of business it's purely because of the price increase of anything imported into this country. They just can't make a dime these days, they would have to mark the goods up so high to actually make a profit
How many gun store owners do you talk to on a regular basis? Do you shoot at a lot of big competitions where you have a chance to hang out with a lot of them from all across the country often?
It's very clear you don't. Because you wouldn't be saying what you did if you knew anything at all.
Come to some of them, I'd be happy to introduce you to all the gun shop owners and sponsors.
I dont disagree, but when the other guy is asking for concrete data that doesnt rely on anecdotal evidence, and people in this sub reddit have an immediate response to just down voting, we're not really positioning ourselves here as the rational group are we?
You're talking rationally with regard to this issue?
If anyone was rational we wouldn't have this issue!
No amount of logic or misinformation is going to change anything. Libs, cons and NDP hate us Armand are far more focused on their party than Canada or Canadians.
I take it you don't shop with local firearm shops in your area if you haven't heard this.
Go shoot some matches/competitions and you'll get tons of time to talk with many firearm store owners. They'll all back up what I'm saying, it's a big problem.
part of critical thinking is the ability to see truth in facts without needing a specific chart or study to look at every single time you want to have a thought about something.
the claim that small buisness tends to do poorly when 90% of their stock becomes unsellable is not exactly a two sided claim.
Some of the firearm owners have passed away in the last couple of years who have families who have no interest whatsoever in firearms and only see them as liabilities is one plausible scenario.
I bought 2 stripped lowers for 150$ with the intention of building them. The government is now giving me 1880 for them, they know I have them, I need my PAL for my job plus I have handguns I would like to not lose.
I'll be buying 3 SKS's when they cut me the check, also I am spray painting my lower's bright pink before turning them in.
I may get down voted for turning stuff in but if I had stuff unregistered I wouldn't be turning them in, my hands are kinda tied.
It's 940 a lower, I have 2 of them. I also am skeptical but they never changed status as finished and have always been stripped lower. I took screenshots of the amount they are offering and have the original paperwork stating them as stripped lower's.
They are not going to give you that. The one guy in cape Breton got a fraction of the amount they said they would give for lowers. And his reasoning was the same for declaring, he couldn’t appeal after or anything and basically said he was lied to and ripped off so he’s warning everyone else about when the buyback comes to their province.
Hypothetically speaking when the government changes or the law changes I would do it again and buy twice as many lower. My biggest regret is that I didn't save up and buy something NR.
Jokes on them, mine legit got stolen and never recovered… yet I keep getting emails from RCMP requesting to turn them in. I wouldn’t have turned them in if I had them though.
Well, i like the malicious compliance model more, turn in a completely stripped upper and lower, and nothing else. Though I don't have any restricted stuff I need to worry about.
I don’t want to boost their numbers. It seems to me the program won’t show the destroyed firearms. Just tell your cfos when you’ve destroyed your firearms
