New LPC Same As The Old LPC

Dear Liberal Party of Canada. Trying to sell a firearms owner on your party whose concerned about confiscation by referencing the fact that you want Australian style gun control here is a bad move. The firearms I use most are Cat C and D.


Your not making a good case for allowing me to keep my personal property. To many of us remember Alan Rock and the parade of broken promises made by the LPC in the lead up to the Firearms Act.


Today's lesson; there is no party in Canada that cares. If you're socially liberal...hahaha we get it at once rather then by a thousand cuts like our friends who vote CPC.


And yeah...this was the result of an email exchange between me and the local LPC riding association.

Disabled & Shooting 2.0

I used to have a blog called Disabled & Shooting on here, it was on using my firearms hobby to overcome my PTSD.

This is its spiritual successor, I still shoot but this blog will encompass shooting, farming, our dogs, and our efforts to grow and raise our own food.

Unfortunately it will also be somewhat political. In the time I've been away the government has been treating Veterans very poorly as well as allowing the RCMP to manage the firearms portfolio essentially unchecked. Some things I just can't stay quiet about.

Swiss Arms & CZ858 Reclassifications

Collected in one spot, this is the info I have on the reclassification of the Swiss Arms rifles and CZ858 rifles.


FIrearms Reference Table:
-this is the rifles "data sheet" that lives in the RCMP database. It contains information on why it is classfied either "non-restricted", "restricted" or "prohibited"

The Shooting Edge is the guy who originally started this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Tuojj8ef8

The Calgary Shooting Centre has another take: http://www.theshootingcentre.com/sans-overview

Clearly there is business shenanigans involved in this, muddling it up.

The CZ858s are because some are apparently made from receivers destined to be autos (but never were). Or such is my understanding.

A redacted copy of an RCMP documenting firearms with classification issues:

The above is commonly referred to as a hit list.

If anyone has any info they think I'd like to see on this, please message me.
