Just wanted to get the word out about the violation of property rights that happened to us up here today (we never had gun rights to begin with). To say I am disgusted with the actions of our elected officials is an understatement.
The RCMP today banned our Swiss Arms rifles. As it stands now we have 6 months to turn them in for destruction and they will not be compensating legal gun owners!!!. You heard right, they will seize our legal private property without paying us so much as a cent, goods that we legally bought and paid taxes on!!!!!! Anyone caught with one after the deadline will become a criminal and will face jail time. These rifles are made in Switzerland by SIG (now called Swiss Arms Neuhausen) and cost $3000 dollars.
They have been legal here for 12 years now and because or national police has an anti gun agenda against private gun ownership, their firearms lab has concluded that the rifles are now illegal. This is a rifle that they themselves approved for import and sale 12 years ago!!!!!! Not one of these rifles has ever been used in a crime up here, not one!!
Our Police firearms division has no oversight when it comes to firearms decisions. They can do whatever they want and report any BS they want. They were not able to swap full auto parts into it 12 years ago and they still did not get it done now 12 years later. It is a semi only version. They claim it is a derivative of the SIG 550 when everyone knows full well that SAN uses the older 540 model mandrel to form our Canadian receivers.
Our NFA is filing a class action lawsuit and gun owners are donating money to drag them to court but thats about all we can do because our elected officials do not give a damn about our rights.

UPDATE 01/03/2014
Thank you for all the support guys, I wish I had better news to report this morning but this just got worse. Yesterday they prohibited another rifle, the CZ 858. Same thing as Thursday, confiscation with no compensation, theft of our private property. What guns will they ban next week is unknown but this is the start of mass confiscation!!!!
THE RCMP IS COMING FOR OUR SEMI AUTOMATICS. COMMISSIONER ROB PAULSON HAS DECLARED WAR ON LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AND WE ARE CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION. HE HAS GROSSLY OVERSTEPPED HIS AUTHORITY AND WE ARE CALLING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO SLAP HIM DOWN. THE POLICE DOES NOT MAKE THE LAWS, PARLIAMENT DOES.
This jackass is already in deep sh!t for what went on in High River and this is the final straw. There are approx 2000 Swiss Arms and approx 10,000 CZ 858's in Country, this is outrageous and we will not stand for this! Canadian gun owners must all stand together now or we will go down individually. The NFA needs help to fight this injustice, every donation no matter how small makes a difference to strengthening their legal defense.

Oh and if anyone feels like helping us talk some sense into the RCMP please leave a comment on their facebook page. The more people we get telling them what they are doing is wrong the better. How ironic that they have an anti bullying campaign going on right now.

We are starting to get attention, the government has given the 12,000 people so far affected a 5 year amnesty from criminal prosecution. This is not good enough as only criminals need amnesty from prosecution of crimes. We committed no such acts and will continue pushing for justice.
We are petitioning the government to rewrite the firearms act to better reflect the rights and freedoms of shooters and hunters. We are demanding action. A big thank you to all who are supporting us Canucks and the NFA, we need all the help we can get.
