Watched a Colion Noir YouTube about Canada confiscating assault rifles. Off duty, retired, mounties will be going to your house if you registered your assault rifle.
What say you, Boco and other canucks?

All Canadians are not canucks.

Canada is completely broken

Been so for awhile,,

It’s doubtful Canada even exists as it is today,,, in a few years

Not going to happen.
The RCMP or smaller forces can’t and won’t back these teams up, I haven’t heard of any retired LEOs signing up for this either. They might try this on a small scale somewhere, but that’ll be it. The retired LEOs aren’t stupid.
This prohib thing isn’t anything new. They got the firearms community to turn on itself……sporting vs hunting, but when they dropped the hammer with a new huge prohib list years ago, the hunters (and a lot of Liberals) realized that their shot gun that they use once every 5 years was now prohibited…..lol.

Now if they try hiring a security company to do it, it doesn’t take a genius to see what’s going to happen. You know what nationality a lot of security guards are eh?……lol

They’re still calling it “voluntary”. That’s for the 1-2% that might willingly turn in their property, that’s where these hired guns will play a role. But one would think that if there was anyone left that would turn their guns over, they would’ve done it already. That 1-2% will actually be awful close to zero.

The guns don’t actually have to be “turned in” for the government to succeed

Everyone(that registered their guns) is automatically a criminal,,,

No more passport renewals for example,,,

There’s all sorts of ways for the government to twist your balls until they get your firearms

I guess we’ll see what happens Oct 30th. I’ll bet another extension or something similar.

Possibly

Meanwhile, nobody is allowed to use, or purchase, or sell

It’s never going to end

They succeed just by delaying,,,,and wasting massive amounts of money

Truly sad that the city population can cause problems for those living quietly outside the city. I cant see any intelligent LEO going out there trying to take a mans guns.

I can...not all maybe but there's a big percentage that will lock up their mothers if they're told to, or think she committed some infraction...
I don't know if it's ego, or just what I call the Rambo syndrome, gotta get out there and kick some butt....

During the freedom convoy. When they invoked(illegally) the EA

The rcmp asked for volunteers from all across Canada to go to Ottawa and trample on citizens

They were compensated hugely,,, extra pay/ ritzy hotel/ meals,,,etc

No shortage of volunteers

Just some of that greater freedom baco gose on about.

Along the ways they can get them. Seems easy to look at the registry and compare whats not been turned in and freeze bank accounts, passports, and such. Lock them out of a functioning society. Not hard to believe they locked the truckers bank accounts not long ago.

I'm hoping our communist will make the door to door confiscation practice soon while there is still a significant number of 2A support. Maybe there would be a fight over such doings, although after covid I'm not so sure. If they wait, the education system and media will eventually "educate" people right into giving up their 2A rights. About the best thing we can do is teach our children and grandchildren to shoot. Depending on a politician to protect those rights is not a smart move at all. Heck they want even protect the integrity of the right to vote with voter ID requirements.

It's easier for the Indians to replace you, if they help disarm you first.

Sounds like Colorado. That will be the next thing they do there. They've already pretty much banned trapping thanks to all the liberal yuppies that moved in from the west coast. According to an outfitter I know from there, hunting will be restricted next. These left wing nuts don't have a clue on what conservation means.

I think it will take a less violent and more insidious route in the US. It will start with a call to "voluntarily" turn in your guns. A few will comply. That will be followed by shutting down access to your bank, shutting down your debit card, turning off power, internet, phone and water, preventing access to medical and pharmacies. And for the strongest hold outs, they'll take your kids, "for their safety", of course. People will either be turning them in by the arm loads or war will erupt. At this point I'm not sure which scenario will happen.

I lost all mine in a skidoo accident.
I guess if you were dumb enough to register them back in the day you probably deserve it.
They tried to make a registry for guns here way back in the 90s I believe,nobody registered any guns,the next govt scrapped it,it was such a costly nothingburger it was never tried again.
Most people here just ignore stupid stuff and just get along with what theyve always done.
The last time a cop came to my door was when he returned my husky that broke his chain.

I know a guy who had his shotgun taken back then because he didn’t have his papers. He was (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) because he made a deal with two of his buddy’s that none of them would register. I was actually at the table when the deal was made. Turns out, the other two chickened out and registered without the others knowing. One of them was actually hunting with the one who had his gun taken and showed his papers! lol

They laugh about it now, but the buddy who registered still says “I’m glad the warden already took Danny’s gun before I took out my registration paper!

He ended up registering and getting his gun back.

Truth

Exactly! People on both sides of the boarder like to post about losing their guns “when their camo tipped over” etc. like that makes them exempt from gun control. What good are guns if you have to keep them hidden. End up getting arrested in front of your grand kids when teaching them to shoot or when you actually use a gun to defend yourself.

You can’t give them an inch!!

IMO, Canadas provenances are so big it’s hard to legislate effectively. People in huge populations, that have never been out of the city are making the laws for folks in the bush. Too big of a disconnect.

Governments confiscate guns and lots of other stuff) all the time,In your country too.
When we were teenagers we used to go to the confiscation auctions.There were tables and tables of guns and other stuff confiscated,even a float plane one time.
We used to buy the 303 british,they were cheap and great moose hunting guns,
That was the reason they had so many all the time -they were the favorite gun for poachers,lol.
No different today,people just ignore stupid laws and go along with their buisness.
I been checked by gamewardesn for licences etc never been harassed always get along good with them all,there is a helmet law for 4 wheelers but never been enforced in the bush in my experience.

That’s been my experience 90% of the time with game wardens in Canada as well Boco. It’s the 10% that can be a pita. Seems to be more of the 10%ers. around the last 8-10 years then there were my first 35 years of going to Canada.

The good guys are never the folks taking away law abiding citizens firearms

For far far far too many Canadians, nostalgia is all they have,,,

To stupid to see the future

There are numerous ways a US citizen can lose a firearm or all of his firearms. Any crime committed with a firearm will get that firearm confiscated. Red flag laws can get all of ones guns taken.
That is substantially different than taking them because of what kind of gun, like semi auto, they are. I would think that there are more "bad guns" in private hands than either Canada or the U.S. could physically take and store. News of confiscating likely drives that number higher.

It’s way easier to get a firearm illegally anyways. These laws just effect law abiding citizens.

I could get all guns in Canada turned in in a day. Just have the Unions tell them that it is good for brotherhood.

What a dumb comment. I belong to a union, I also have about 15 guns I use for hunting and other things and plan to until I die.
Door to door won’t happen.

Most of the people I run into up north would give up all their guns before their union card.

Sure they would. I could make something up about the people I ran into in Wisconsin too but that wouldn’t make it true.

Digger, if that’s your perspective of the northern people, then the furthest north you’ve ever been is the WI/MN state line. You’ve got a lot to learn about the north sonny……
Only good thing coming out of Wisconsin is the I94. I was going to say Dave, but he’s from Iowa……lol
Ok, just joking around.
One thing I noticed about American unions, they seem to pressure their members to vote Dem.

Not so sure you have to pressure an American union member to vote dem. If you're union dems put more money into the machine so you vote dem.

That’s true, but being a union member doesn’t change who you are. The IBEW was pushing Dem and our local was pushing anything but Conservative. I’d say maybe 1 in 20 of American or Canadian linemen would vote Dem or Lib. They picked the wrong crowd to push that crap and they got lit up for it on social media.

Is there any other choice in CA?

A Canadian conservative politician is called a blue dog Democrat here

Funny how Canadians and Americans generalize each other. I see it all the time. I have lots of 20 year + Canadian friends and my kids are life long friends with my Can. Buddies kids. They come here and visit a couple times a year, we go there more than that. My son and daughters have a softball team called “The boarder Jumpers”, their younger Canadian friends have come to play over the 4th for years. Team has US and Canada flags on the shirts and they hang both flags on the fence during games, Canada flag just a ticky lower than US.

Most of my US buddies that meet them always generalize when telling other people about Canadians when they actually only know a few Canadians from a very small community in NW Ont. They say things like, “Canadians drink beer all day, then switch to whiskey at night like it’s nothing”. I’m thinking, well I’m an American and I did the exact same thing with them right in front of you”lol The Canadians do the same thing when their at home, things like “Americans all play softball and drink a dirty pile of Bush light while their doing it!”. lol. Lots and lots of stuff like that.
Here’s a team pic from a few years ago:

100% Trapset.
Same thing here with hockey & baseball.
Awesome picture!

Funny thing, I was in the teamsters and was never told how to vote. It amazes me that most people who say that have never been in a union.

Maybe not, but can you say that none of your union dues went to support liberal political candidates?

1994 Second Annual US v Canada Youth Dart Team. I designed and printed both country's team shirts and lapel pins. The Canada shirt was white with red collars and piping. (I need to find the pics of those) . . . anyway,






I’d like to add this FWIW, We were treated exceptionally well. We were given a tour of the city of Ottawa and their Parliament. At the weekend’s end of competition, the Royal Canadian Mounties Hall hosted a buffet banquet for all of us. . . (even the adult libations were free) It was a trip I will always remember . . . SJA :-)

No, I can't say that and I really didn't care. But I can say all I wanted was a job. I worked the same job for a non union employer and made about 25% less and terrible benefits.

It's not easy to find a nonunion job anymore.
Been that way for a long time now.
We all have to feed our families, and pay our bills.
Just because the union backs a politician you wouldn't vote for, doesn't mean quit your job.
Everyday we have to deal with people we don't agree with.
Doesn't mean we should give up either.

I was a teamster local 407 , and they would send me mail telling me who they backed, always democrat.
But that was over 40 years ago, and I hope they woke up.
UAW the same way.

I suppose everyone an in internal moral code they live by. Mine would not allow me to pay dues to a union that in turn gives my money directly to democrat candidates. If your code allows you to do that, than you do you, I guess.

Thats what I did. I did me.

It's very easy to find a nonunion job. They are everywhere.

That doesn't mean we back a certain party, and if the union donates to them, it's really none of our business.
We work for a living, what the boss or union does isn't our business.
Kind of like I didn't get the covid shot, or flu shots when they came out in the 70's or whenever.
Still don't and never will.
About the same as my pulmonary told me I have to go on oxygen 8 years ago, still not using it.,
I refuse to be on a leash.
I'm doing better than 8 out of the 9 people that I know are/were on oxygen, their pushing up daises .
And they were diagnosed after I was.
It's not easy at times, but I'm still free to do as I please, abet a lot slower, and have to know my limits!

Maybe in Iowa , but not around here .
I could find jobs under the table easy enough, while on layoff , but I couldn't afford to do that work and feed/insure a family.

So do you work for a union? Or self employed?

I have never worked for a union. I was hired for a job once years ago. THEN they told me it was union. So I turned it down.

Good on you.

Even though Pennsylvania is not a "right to work" state my wife and her lawyers successfully forced her union to let her drop out while retaining her job. She was sick and tired of percentages of her dues supporting liberal causes, candidates and politicians.

I know lots of places won’t force you to join, but they’ll still doc the dues off your check if your’re on a union project. They told us this on our hire date. Be it religious reasons or personal, you didn’t have to join but dues were coming off your check. Same with a construction job I did in Ontario way back. We had to pay dues to hang drywall there.

On a side note, I see far more $$ potential in the private side of my trade, as long as you’re willing to. With a little ambition, the world is literally your oyster. Linemen retire here with full pension, then travel the world on the private side making 1/3+ than they were making in their last year…..and they take on projects when they feel like it.

After 24hrs building/maintaining powerline, I moved over to the forestry section or our utility. I must say it feels like a private company, it’s like working for a completely different corporation. Lots of give and take & trust. Not following the union rule hard and fast like the customer service side. The Super just said, don’t give me a reason to start looking into you…..lol. When you get a tough job done, they know not to ask how you did it, it’s done now…..move onto the next…..lol.

I’m not kicking my linemen bros in the nutz though, most of us are a different breed. While working in customers yards after a storm, we’ve been asked “When’s my power coming back on?”
“We’re not going home until it is”
“Aren’t you guys union? No breaks? Everyone’s working?…... You sure don’t work like union guys”…..

The Toronto ice storm years ago was brutal. A customer asked my foreman “So you guys are just here to look at the damage and leave like the other 5 crews did?”
It was all backyard climbing work, no access for hydralic spurs. Crews from Canada and the US had come by, the TO Hydro guy said they turned it down, these were private contractors. They hire some real wingnut “linemen”, some who have never seen a set of spurs.
“No, when we leave this evening, your lights will be on”
Next thing the residents are hiding bottles of whisky in our truck bins……lol

Good for her. Being forced to support a union is a crock.

One of Canada’s biggest problems,, if not the biggest

far to many folks directly work for some level of government(federal/provincial/municipal). And even more indirectly relay on the government for survival,,, and the number is only rapidly increasing

The public sector unions hold significant leverage and political influence

They promote the whole “woke and DEI” ideology. They’re all the freaks that you see

The result has become a completely stagnant economy with next to no growth, no future,,,,,,,just MORE government

It’s not an accident,,,, it’s been by design

Myself I will provide for the family in the best way possible. If there was a better option closer to home I would take it union or not. Probably makes a big difference if you are the provider of a family of 5 vs married couple with both working. Everyone situation is different.

Currently that translates to a small pension I can take at 56, income from 70k to 160k depending on how much I want to work. Family health insurance that cost $52 a week with vision and dental. Thats $20 co pay for Dr's $30 for specialist, $75 for ER free if admitted. Max $1500 out of pocket per person or $3k per family combined. Also have up to 2 years short term disability if your sick or injured that pays 80% of your 40 hr check. Also if I do end up disabled with MS I will receive the amount of pension I have years in to receive. Currently thats 20 years worth. Its not a lot but comforting especially when I dont know how much longer I can safety pull off running large heavy equipment. I never know when, what or the intensity of these MS symptoms will hit. Pulled over and had my wife drive home from the store yesterday got to off balance dizziness. Hit all of a sudden not good when running equipment or driving. Legs may cramp or spasms. Get electric shock down my left collar bone and arm. Can become so tired I can't stay awake and falling asleep driving or at least when I have to stop for something regardless of how much sleep I have gotten . I called in 5 days last month(fmla) so anyone that knows me knows its seriously getting to me since I dont miss work and work a lot of extra.

There are better jobs im sure but in my area I sure have not found any to come close

Inner city kids have the same mindset. Join the gang, become a thug, make money.

If you are going to work union, shoot for becoming a union rep/boss. That's where the big bucks are.

Thats not having any positive roll models or knowing who their dad is and being raised by trashy get around single mom.

Typically I find many dont have the benefits and pay so get negative about them. Can't admit jealousy so attempt to some moral high ground. Not all but its a pattern.

I love it becues I have said many times I care less of im working union or not. Im have done both in my life. Even other union jobs like Ford does not have as good of benefits and is why I turnd them down as well. Its a job. I traid my limited hours to live for $ and benefits so im geting the most available to me.
