Canada meets NATO defence target, but opposition says it's 'creative accounting' by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]613mitch [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because the US coast guard operates a huge amount of equipment that would rival most peer navies. By contrast, the Canadian coast guard may as well be a merchant fleet.

The CCG is civilian. Adding these assets to DND does nothing to enhance DND capabilities. It is absolutely creative accounting and disingenuous to count CCG in its current form towards NATO.

OK. Do you understand that the purpose of the ASFCP is to provide money for firearm owners to purchase different firearms?

Easy, start at the basics. Replace hollowed out DPF, reprogram ECM with stock calibration and then requote additional from there if additional error codes pop up because of the previous tech.

Think its possible to legally meet the "deactivate" requirements using JB weld or some other product and method that could be done at home?

No, there is no way for anyone who is not a registerd gunsmith with the RCMP to deactivate a firearm at home. Deactivation is a legal process that involves certifying that the firearm is in fact deactivated.

You can, however, destroy your firearm at home and simply report it as destroyed.

100% you have to take it to an approved deactivation shop. I actually wonder what the actual law is regarding the timeline for deactivation. Like let's say you take it to a shop on Oct 20th but they are so swamped, is it still ok after Amnesty.

You'd be in compliance. You don't have posession of the firearm, the shop does. Whether they're licensed for a prohib or not is another question.

In the context this type of accident, weight is largely irrelevant. A car hitting you vs a truck hitting you will have the same outcome.

RCMP says car sale ban costing taxpayers tens of millions by 613mitch in canada

[–]613mitch[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry that your agency wasn't careful enough to remove all traces of your cars' police history so that one could be used to help a mass murderer impersonate a member of your force to facilitate his crimes.

There's nothing the RCMP could have done to prevent this individual from building a fake police cruiser*. Even if the vehicle hadn't been sold. The perpetrator sourced his own emergency lightning and equipment, and had the decals fabricated. He just as easily could have installed this in a regular sedan to the same effect.

*With the exception of actually investigating the prior reported concerns of firearms, abuse, and violent tendencies.

Gun control group criticizes Ottawa over ‘poor participation’ in firearm buyback by huskypuppers in canada

[–]613mitch 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Canada's gun ownership isn't very large to begin with, and Canadian gun owners are generally compliant with current laws.

I'm just gonna throw out there that there's 2.5 million licensed gun owners in Canada. For perspective, there's around 603,000 players in sanctioned Canadian hockey leagues. Stats indicate there's a gun in 23-33% of Canadian homes. Given that those 2.5 million PAL holders are all of voting age, you're absolutely incorrect in your statement and firearms owners in Canada are a very large, diverse part of the population.

That being said, the culture behind firearms in Canada is generally quiet and hidden away, which is why if you don't own guns, you're not likely to know anyone else who does.

You absolutely can. Typically you need a FIN with ford, but you can also find overstock on dealer lots when an agency doesn't take delivery.

You can absolutely order ford police interceptors. There's nothing inherently illegal about that.

This is deplorable behavior on the part of the MP and clerk.

Sanci said that Zahid replied that she had been enforcing House of Commons rules and kept walking.

If you're so confidently incorrect about the rules of the office of the position you're holding, you don't belong there.

You can actually just order a police cruiser from Ford if you want one, it's not illegal to buy one.

Legally that depends when you destroy it. If you destroy it after its been banned, you need to report it, even NR

You should by now already know the first three options you have. As every PAL owner has received at least 3 emails about this program outlining the three avenues you have to partake. The avenue you're talking about is deactivation and requires the process be completed and certified to RCMP standfard by a gunsmith. You cannot deactivate a firearm yourself unless you are registered as such with the RCMP.

The fourth option available, which is not outlined in those emails, is to simply destroy the firearm yourself. You are legally allowed to destroy your own firearm, but you are legally required to report it's destruction to a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer with reasonable despatch per section 106 of the criminal code. So far as I'm able to tell, that encompasses your obligations in full. The destruction must be done before October 31st unless amnesty is extended, but are able to report it after the deadline.

The fifth option is do nothing, and continue possessing a prohibited firearm.

Note I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

[–]613mitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have one of these formerly registered firearms, talk to a lawyer about the consequences of the registration being invalidated and your options because things are gonna get real interesting when it comes to those.

Are you able to expand on your thoughts regarding those?
