As someone who eventually wants to be a registered gun owner in canada, should i be worried about this temporary freeze?

u/Steelringin Oct 24 '22

The 'temporary' part of the freeze is only until the bill is passed and becomes law. It will be permanent as soon as that passes. Also, gun owners in Canada aren't registered, they're licensed. Did you mean a restricted gun owner? 'Cause there are still restricted firearms that you can buy such as short barrelled rifles.

TBH I meant licensed but what is the difference? Total noob btw.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Licensed is the right to use or do something based off a agreement with a governing entity on a restricted action or operation a person can do because of the possibilities of improperly doing so.

Registered means you have given information about a situation or object that is under a controlled program, ideal, or law for public records and safety

When you say registered in the gun world in canada we think your talking about a restricted(real thing) or non restricted(Store inventory registry upon sale) gun registration

When you say licensed in the gun world in canada we think PAL or RPAL is what is being referenced.

If your getting into this hobby everything you say has proper terms and such because it's so controlled for safety and operation purposes

In the future long term maybe

Right now.. only if you want a handgun, AR platform or a SBR in the near future or at all

Liberals are in power for a bit still and likely it will be law before he's voted out if that happens...ffs

Why did you tack in SBR? There was no change.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '22

Them and AR platforms not already being "tack"-ed are the most likely next step to full gun control. Anything that looks like it's not for hunting other then center fire low capacity firearms and shotguns. Rifles are nest after they basically make restricted ones unavailable. Who wants to shoots a SBR anyways they're terribly inaccurate even if out for fun they're wastes of ammo that could be used in a real gun that PAL can get ya

I politely disagree I believe every citizen deserves to own any type of firearm they please no matter what

sounds like a guess

Well no S we won't know till laws pass its speculation given the pms intentions with firearms. It's not like what he's doing is screaming... lets allow automatics and more hand guns... so it's completely obvious it's going the other way like I described and that being the most logical course of action for the liberals and they're agenda.

Take it to the politics thread, don't confuse newbies with nonexistent laws, thanks.

temporary?

u/bmathew5 Oct 24 '22

C-21. I haven't seen any dates around when it's over and what their end goal is. Not sure if they're going to make it harder to be registered/buy

So far it's 5 round magazines only even .22lr, a push for the removal of semi automatic assault style weapons and any replicas or platforms like it, a push for more centerfire use firearms vs semi autos, pistols and concealable firearms full ban likely after pistols are gone, and they found a way to register our guns we weren't supposed to have to register in the first place through stores having to keep inventory. Shotguns though as far as I know we're fully untouched in any manner. I prob forgot somethings but that's the just of what to expect till 2030 but I would be surprised if it get worse then above and then hunting rifles become illegal... but then Alberta will separate and we can all go live there if we don't like it lol

These are ambitions they seem to be going towards jot things that have come to law I forgot to add. It's a skeptical outlook on the liberals firearms agenda and motive direction. Not the rcmp or premiers or the people mostly.ect

1

u/Beretta_errata removeddit pro Oct 25 '22

Motive is to frighten the ignorant into voting for them, handgun transfers have been stopped at least until the next government.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '22

I'll never vote liberal again iny life time after Trudeau..

u/Beretta_errata removeddit pro Oct 25 '22

Good

u/ggdrguy Oct 24 '22

Yes. First the 2020 oic, now handguns( don’t think for a second it will be temporary) next will prob be any semi auto and so on and so on…

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

I think this also.. but let's see how the liberals handle the ar rifle buy back confiscations as rcmp said they aren't going to do it and local cops don't want it either. So who's making sure his new laws aren't just his puffing his chest. He can't delete what's already out they're but he can control what comes in and out legally... the problem is what happens as the cause of him doing that. We won't know till people know it's law and not just a freeze.
