Royal Canadian Mounted Police - Important Notice:

As a result of the May 1, 2020 Order in Council (OIC) amending the Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components, and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted ("Regulation") under the Criminal Code, a letter was recently sent out to individuals/businesses to inform them that their previously registered restricted firearms are now prohibited and their registration certificates became nullified. This nullification is the result of the legislative change to the Criminal Code Regulations and not the result of any decision by the Registrar to revoke the registration certificates under the Firearms Act. Accordingly, the letter is not a Firearm Registration Certificate Revocation Notice. The Amnesty Order protects owners who held a valid registration certificate for the newly prohibited firearms on April 30th, 2020.

What are your options now?

Wait for further instructions to participate in the buy-back program.
Have your firearm deactivated by an approved firearms business and advise the Registrar of Firearms once completed.
Legally export your firearm which case you can engage businesses with proper firearm licence privilege. Once exported you are requested to advise the Registrar of Firearms.

 

 

 

Canadian Taxpayers Federation:

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation filed court documents to intervene in the Cassandra Parker case to oppose a policy that will cost taxpayers a lot of money, but won’t make anyone safer. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is applying to intervene in a second court challenge against the gun ban and buyback led by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights.

The new petition initiated by Jesse Faszer of Calgary, AB and sponsored by MP Michelle Rempel Garner calls upon the Prime Minister to immediately scrap his government’s May 1, 2020, Order in Council decision related to confiscating legally owned firearms and instead pass legislation that will target criminals, stop the smuggling of firearms into Canada, go after those who illegally acquire firearms, and apologize to legal firearms owners in Canada. It has been signed over 210,000 times since May 5th and surpassed e-2341 which held the previous record in Canada at 175,310 signatures. Wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to buy guns from law-abiding Canadian sport-shooters is not a way to reduce crime.

The Nova Scotia Mass Shooting April 2020

These new gun regulations have been triggered by the Nova Scotia Mass Shooting April 2020.
There is no doubt: this killing spree is a terrible and tragic event.
That is why the board of directors posted this statement in May 2020.

Statement - Nova Scotia Mass Shooting April 2020

The tragic event that occurred last weekend in Colchester County has changed the sense of security that the people of Nova Scotia have always felt.
In already troubling times, to have to deal with a tragedy like this is beyond what many of us can imagine. As Nova Scotians and Canadians, we feel for everyone affected by this senseless act.
The members of the Cape Nova Rifle & Revolver Club offer deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims of this event.
Signed: Board of Directors
The Cape Nova Rifle and Revolver Club

Will this new gun legislation really increase public safety?
