After all the announcements, I decided to sell everything I owned that could be touched by future bans because I can't afford loosing such amount of money. I sold my beloved M1 Garand, my M1 Carbine, my many sks, my Beretta 1301 pro competition , etc.

Got lucky to sell the m1 Carbine in time since it then got caught in the OIC. But I regretted every single one I sold.

Then, after few months of reflection, I decided not to let the liberal government control me with fear. That is not the way a democracy should work. It should be the government that should be scared of the People. So I decided to buy another Sks and be back in the proud Canadian family of sks firearms owners.

I chose a beautiful Chinese Type-56 M-21 French tickler Sks.😍

Next, finding another M1 Garand in God's Caliber.

Heading to the range tomorrow!

Go out and shoot!

Cheers!

Honestly,  it might be a good thing you don't have all the guns.  Now you have some liquid capital and such.

But having an Sks is still cheap enough to not be the end of the world if it gets banned. Unlike those who have multiple  thousands of dollars in guns that got banned.

I'm kinda in the same boat in regards to the end result. I don't own any guns that are close to the ban chopping block other than my Sks. I might add a semi auto shotgun to the mix, but I'll pick one cheap enough that it will be OK if it gets banned.

Got a friend who has 46 000$ worth (buyback prices) of firearms that were banned . That's a hard blow.

No kidding... 46k could do so much for my family. 

Like power to you if you have enough assets that 46k is a drop in the bucket, but for me it would be very reckless and a disservice to my family to have that much money in something that can easily be banned and taken away

Exactly why I sold everything.

But it felt wrong to have to do that ...

Oh absolutely wrong to have to do it.

The whole thing is wrong. But I get anyone who has to be smart with their money. Keep a few fun guns that you can afford the loss of and then also enjoy collecting some lesser risk firearms as well
