Shitpost / Memes Gucci Gang, Gucci Gang

August/September is a long way off, so might as well fantasize about eventual upgrades.

Will you be leaving it stock, or are you planning to pimp it out? If so, how?

People are going to spend all this money and watch it get banned the next day and then we’ll get the next big thing, over and over and over.

Yeah, I remember the crypto

At least this has a FRN which means there would have to be a new oic added to an already failing program

Didn't that bulpup shotgun have an FRN, and then the RCMP just do the old switcheroo?

Yeah I thought so too. I understand why people want this and will spend on it, but not currently a risk I’m willing to take given how… vague everything is

The more I speak to different people and dealers about it, it seems it was only vague because the information was leaked in advance of what would have otherwise been an exclusive/surprise offering by CRAFM today.

Apparently Gravel has been working on this for years, Brigade is well established and the Makasi has years of solid reviews. I still have questions about specifics of the barrel and gas system, but this situation seems somewhat different from other fiascos like the crypto

Ah to clarify, I meant our laws

Not quite. RCMP can now change classification on their own, at a whim.

It's still shocking to me people are still out there (particularly who use the internet) and didn't know this. They've been doing it since after the 2020 OIC. FRN doesn't mean jack apart from being able to import it en-masse. It's not safe by any means lol

I think the likelihood of another OIC is very low in the current political environment. This gun will probably stay NR for a while.

They don’t need to use an OIC now that they have a majority. And they’re in no rush (unless we get another tragedy). They will take their time and introduce a new firearms bill that encompasses everything they missed with the OIC and including everything they got with it as well so the supreme courts can’t overturn it.

Then Canada becomes what - the UK, as long desired ?

u/WinterInternal8799 Apr 18 '26

Would that mean the GSG’s would be legal again? They still have them there…

u/Wooden_Celebration34 Apr 18 '26

We are well on our way already. There’s talk of Canada joining the EU already.

u/CringelordCameron Apr 17 '26

We have probably 2 years before that happens, if it happens at all. Buy what you want and shoot it.

u/DonAzuld Apr 17 '26

That’s what I thought in 2024… then 2025 :(

u/MostEnergeticSloth Apr 17 '26

They wouldn't. They've "modified" the FRT by changing dozens of firearm classifications well after the initial OIC without making a new OIC. Yes yes, FRT isn't law etc etc. Haven't seen anyone willing to step to the plate to challenge that in a court case tho...

Having a FRN is only useful for import. It doesn't make it any more or less safe than a rifle that doesn't have one. Just means they tickled the lab's balls.
