I'm sure they were going to properly register them.

Since they're closing the car assembly plants, you can't fault them for looking at other business opportunities.

Canada's anti-business government strikes again.

You need a Snickers bar. How is not wanting gang bangers gunning each other down in the streets and killing innocent bystanders "anti-business"??

[BartSimpson]

You need a better sarcasm detector.

Yeah, that's the job of the police!

More BS from police lapdogs.

Unregulated parts whereby handguns can be completely manufactured in Canada from legally obtained parts????

Frames are restricted and must be registered upon entry into Canada. Same with frames manufactured in Canada.

It's just kabuki theater that still has no impact on criminals.

Yea, sorry. Trump just pissed me off this morning, and I've been off all day.

You must have missed this part:

Wes Winkel, president of the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association and owner of Ellwood Epps Sporting Goods in Orillia, Ont., said many gun components are generic springs, pins and screws that would be virtually impossible to regulate. “There is no way to control springs and screws,” he said. “You simply can’t control every piece of metal in the world.”

He said that the main housing, or receiver, component of most guns is closely regulated by law, but some manufacturers have devised ways to skirt regulations with receivers called 80-per-cent guns, fabricated specifically to fall outside the legal threshold for a firearm. With a few minor modifications, and a little help from numerous online resources, these 80-per-cent guns can be turned into functional firearms with relative ease.

An '80% gun' is not a gun.

...until you add the other 20% as these guys were doing....

Odd to see the authorities going after people doing illegal things with firearms. Going by the past record they only seem interested in being tough on those with firearms who haven't done anything bad with them at all.
