I've literally called 30 times a day every day since the announcement to get two pistols transferred into my name I call at 1 minute after they open in the morning and it's already playing that stupid pre recorded message it's b******* it's some off the books attempt to control the gun sales because the government would look like a bunch of boobs for making their announcement that the announcement of the freeze wouldn't increase gun sales so if the RCMP were to start accepting all these transfers it would make the government look like a bunch of boobs that they are .you cannot buy a pistol in this country right now I get emails from Canada firearms outlet or whatever at 11:15 a.m. about new restocking of pistols by 5:00 when I got off work they were all sold out.

I sent in a transfer form registered mail they receive it but you can't call anybody about it because they don't answer the phone anywhere if you try and select five for general inquiries it'll hang up on you

I know the sequence of numbers and options right by heart I've called so many times

Press 1 for English Listen to the announcement as soon as she says strengthening our gun control laws ,

Press 4 to transfer a restricted firearm

Press 2 right away to continue with a restricted firearm transfer

It'll say one moment while we transfer you along those lines

You hear a half a ring . Exactly like when you call a cell phone that has your number blocked , half a ring and then the stupid pre recorded message . This doesn't put you on hold it just basically tells you to beat it and call back and then hangs up on you

Stupid Canadian government. I used to be so proud of living here and I used to think we had one of the best places to live in the world not anymore the government overreaching this country and the absolutely astonishing amount of f****** taxes we pay I can't stand it here anymore I hate it the problem is there's nowhere else to go kind of like our own government when it's time to vote no one to vote for f****** complete joke

I got through three times Thursday and Friday. You just have to call in at the right time -- I'll send you a PM for the trick. It's not government control, it's just government incompetency and the fact that there's twice as many transfers trying to go through this week than there usually are in a year. The lines can't handle the thousands of calls.
