For those who don't yet know Thursday Feb 27 10:00 PM EST RCMP reclassified SAN rifles and CZ858 rifles as prohibited and created by the stroke of a pen 12000 paper criminals in Canada out of law abiding gun owners. NFA DEMANDS RESIGNATION OF THE RCMP COMMISSIONER Canada's National Firearms Association is demanding the resignation of RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson. "Enough is enough," said NFA President Sheldon Clare. "The RCMP's banning of a Swiss Arms rifle this week without presenting any evidence that this firearm is a threat to public safety was the last straw. We're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore." NFA Executive Vice President, Shawn Bevins said, "I've been awake for thirty-six hours trying to stay ahead of the more than 200,000 hits on our social media pages in response to the Alert we posted, two days ago. The government has allowed the RCMP to poke this hornet's nest one too many times and it's time for Prime Minister Harper and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney to show the RCMP Commissioner who is in charge. Former RCMP member and Alberta Director for the NFA, Dennis Young agrees that Commissioner Paulson has exceeded his best before date. "My eight month long investigation into the High River Gun Grab, the illegal kicking in of more than 1,900 doors, the unwarranted search of these homes, the seizure of 609 firearms and accessories, and the cover-up that is still underway has convinced me that the Commissioner is either out of control or has lost control. Instead of holding the RCMP officers who broke into these homes to account, he rewarded this incompetence by promoting the officer in charge of the High River mess by promoting her to Commanding Officer of all of Alberta." "The RCMP have been reclassifying firearms unilaterally with the support of the Conservative Government since 2006 and it has to stop," demanded Blair Hagen, NFA Executive VP of Communications. "Access to information records show that RCMP have an aggressive firearms reclassification agenda, and that these arbitrary gun prohibitions will not stop with the Swiss Arms series of rifles. These rifles were approved for import by the RCMP have been sold in Canada for over a decade. There has never been a crime or incident of violence committed with one of these rifles. The dealers who sold them and the people that own them have obeyed the law every step of the way. It's not fair to penalize them now. Not only are Canada's licenced gun owners subject to daily criminal activity checks by police computer systems, research proves that gun owners are also the safest people in Canada." "We are encouraged by the Conservative Government's speedy response to the RCMP's Swiss Arms rifle ban (see attached) but it's not good enough to fix this problem one rifle at a time. The government has to show the RCMP who is running things. The best way to do this is to replace the man who is embarrassing the government by overstepping his authority and showing a complete lack of respect and understanding for our fundamental property rights and Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. -30- For more information contact: Blair Hagen, Executive VP Communications, 604-753-8682 Blair@nfa.ca Sheldon Clare, President, 250-981-1841 Sheldon@nfa.ca Shawn Bevins, Executive VP, 819-313-2887 shawn@nfa.ca Dennis R.

Both restricted and non-restricted versions of the Swiss Arms (SAN) (Canadian Version of SIG540): FRT# 118907 Blue Star FRT# 119587 Black Special FRT# 129006 Black Special Carbine FRT# 119482 Classic Green FRT# 124216 Classic Green Carbine FRT# 119485 Red Devil FRT# 119588 Heavy Metal CZ 858 Tactical 2-P Proofed 2007 or later FRT# 142362 FRT is the number that each firearm type receives in the Canadian firearms registry. Note these firearms were purpose built to meet Canadian firearms legislation and it took the RCMP over a year to find a way to make it similar o a full auto SIG550 Yet another case of registration leads to confiscation If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting.

I've been a hunter for a good part of my life. I'm not a target shooter though on occasion I shoot targets to test handloads, or informally with a .22LR or target pellet pistol. However, at my age confiscation of my limited hunting rifles and a 12-guage isn't likely... but there are matters of import such as the gradual erosion of freedoms. Yet, confiscation will come, and perhaps sooner than later. We are in a global village and a global government is on its way! Maybe not in this generation but surely the next! It's predicted in The Book! Watch events in the Middle East involving Israel, Iran, Russia, Europe, etc. It's all in The Book! The USA will become weaker and with it, Canada and Britain, and the Free World! "All for the good" of everyone in "the village", we are told. Much like the "truth" of "Global Warming" caused by "uncaring and unthinking humans"! The UN is the precursor and promoter of what's coming! That is, along with Obama who "believes" and Mulclair and Justin Trudeau, one of whom is likely to become our next PM. Don't believe me? Then read the "signs" all around us... and The Book.

To quote Edmond Burke "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" All it takes is a letter to your MP to show your displeasure with the tact that the RCMP is trying to disarm gun owners. As to confiscation, Remember High River last year. Lots if legal firearms confiscated illegally by RCMP!!!! If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting.

Tin foil hat time again! "In the Bible Codes, Planet X is found in Ezekiel 41:11. The Codes reveal that Planet X is the former home of Lucifer. Planet X is just an alias for the real name, Planet Rahab. In Isaiah 14:9 it says in regards to the Antichrist, "Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.” Isaiah is talking about the entrance of the Antichrist onto the world scene. Will his entrance be marked with the entrance of Planet X at around the same time? They appear to be related. I thought it remarkable that the term Planet X would have the term Hell running straight beside it. It is returning to Earth in these last days. Why? For thousands of years it has been carrying millions of the angels who joined in Lucifer's rebellion against God. It is a hollow planet, and it has been their home and prison. In these last days Yahweh will allow their release and they will come to earth to help Lucifer gain worldwide control as the Antichrist." THis was foretold when the wise ones realized that the original Common market had 6 members, and 6 was THE MARK OF SATAN!! Thank you 458!!! Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Well I have sent my letters to MP's etc. Hope everyone else does…….. sadly most just bitch and do nothing else. Every Canadian firearm owner should also get off their asses and join the NFA or the CSSA, both if they can swing it. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

High river is different, all legal guns were returned to there owners after the flooding was over. So not confiscated, seized then returned. | |||
|
One of Us |
I disagree. I believe High River was a test to see if they could get away with confiscation. Also why were they targeting houses that hadn't flooded? No safety issue there. Why were they breaking into Locked houses, safes and locked gun cabinets to remove guns? Guns were not returned until an uproar about what was going on. If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic.

What happened in High River was absolute BS. Based on that justification, if you go on holidays for a few weeks the police should then be entitled to kick your door in and seize your guns 'for safe keeping'. There is no doubt in my mind that this was an experiment to see what would be tolerated and ALL gun owners should be furious. Sadly, so many are so wishy-washy when they were not personally affected. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

I was there, there is no conspiracy, no old registry was used. Every house was searched, regardless of flooded or not, any visible guns taken for safe keeping. Perhaps not a popular decision after the fact, but it was not a test in any way, just doing what had to be done at the time by rank and file guys trying to do there best. The federal side of the rcmp is a world away from the contract policing side. This conspiracy that all rcmp are involved in this social re engeneering is laughable. Now federal politcians, I think is true. | |||

Has northing to do with all RCMP being involved in some sort of conspiracy. It most certainly has a lot to do with poor decisions and politics …….. and the force, as with most police organizations, is rife with politics the further up you go in the chain of command. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

Indeed. Sadly most people really do not seem to understand their agenda when it comes to firearms control. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||
