Just a side note but… In Edmonton Cabellas and at least one other retailer is refusing handgun consignments as of the last couple days. They are anticipating an order in council and dont want to get left holding the bag. I would imagine this means that most retailers have also halted orders fir restock as well.

I assume that when Prince Justin goes on vacation… if no order in council has been made… they will return to bussiness as usual.

Makes me wonder what buzz is on the Hill though.

It's because it's entirely possible the freeze comes on June 7th, tomorrow. It's entirely up to the committee, if they do nothing, the CPC filibuster, or they debate it won't come tomorrow. However, if they decide to vote on it right away and vote in favour of it, the freeze comes tomorrow.

If Parliament takes its break before it gets voted on then the next time it can pass in October 4th. I would expect that businesses would be willing to get some new stock and take used firearms should this scenario happen.

Why June 7th and October 4th? Looking at the calendar they still have sittings for the rest of this month and could move on it in September if they wanted. The SECU can also schedule and resume the debate later this week, which they appear to be doing Thursday.

That said I expect this whole deal to remain in flux for a while since Parliament seems to have Russia at the top of every docket I can find for this month, and they seemed to anticipate fall at the earliest when they announced it. This will probably be a frustrating summer of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
