TheGunBlog.ca — The Canadian government will start enforcing new restrictions on government-licensed gun owners this month, as the governing Liberal Party continues its political and regulatory attacks against hunters, sport shooters and firearm collectors.
Details
- The regulations stem from Bill C-71, a law the Liberals passed in 2019.
- The measures take effect on May 18, according to an Orders in Council dated 29 April and published online today.
- They apply only to government-licensed firearm users and businesses.
- The restrictions include:
- “Non-Restricted” Firearm Transfers: It will be a crime for any licensed gun owner to buy, sell or give away any “Non-Restricted” rifle or shotgun without explicit permission for the transfer from the Registrar of Firearms in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - Canadian Firearms Program.
- It will require contacting the RCMP to request a reference number for the transaction.
- It applies even to all licence holders, include a spouse who wants to give a rifle or shotgun to their spouse, or a parent who wants to give a rifle or shotgun to their child.
- Gun Store Registry: Gun stores will be required to store the personal details of licensed buyers of “Non-Restricted” rifles and shotguns for 20 years, in a violation of personal privacy.
- Other restrictions also kick in, but those are the biggies for most PAL holders and businesses (in my opinion).
