Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

My BC Olympic exemption pistol just landed in Canada, as I just got charged taxes by IRG. Looks like the transfers are being approved after all.

Same here, wondering if we should get a notification though on RCMP portal.

I’m assuming so, it’s been a while since I bought a restricted, but that’s all I’m waiting for right now.

Me too! Just waiting for the transfer to be approved by my CFO and then it gets shipped to my door!

That doesn’t necessarily mean your transfer was approved, since a different agency handles the import permit (Global Affairs Canada). They seem to be accepting the BCTSA exemptions without issue.

My gun also just landed, I called the CFP for an update on the transfer and was told it is still waiting for BC CFO approval (it’s been well over a month and a half now)

Interesting. I hope they don’t delay all of our Olympic aspirations much longer.
