It isn't going to matter, because they won't be illegal anytime soon, sorry to bust your bubble on that fantasy.PJ_Soul said:
I didn't say that. I just said that there is usually cash back plan. How much cash depends on the particular program. A lot of the time the combination of wanting to abide by the law and getting some cash in their pockets acts as pretty decent motivation for a lot of people to turn in their illegal weapons even if they aren't getting market value.EM194007 said:

Honestly, why does it matter to you anyway? Your Canadian correct? Us in the US don't try to tell you Canadian's how your country should be ran. So, why are you Canadian's trying to tell us how to run our country? 95% of the people posting wanting to ban said gun in this post are from Canada.0 -

But of COURSE I care about this, being in Canada. Most of the guns in Canada come from the US. There is gun smuggling happening across the border. Also, Canada gets a lot of its culture from the US, and this gun culture in the States isn't good for my country either. It is slowly bleeding over. What happens in American has a big impact on Canada generally. That's why we pay so much attention to US politics. Also, I fucking care when a bunch of Americans or people of any other nation are gunned down because they are human beings, and it all seems so preventable. Giving a shit about people being murdered doesn't stop where there is a line drawn on a map. Also, this is also about terrorism and how to deal with it, and that is an INTERNATIONAL problem. Furthermore, who in the fuck is telling you how to run your country? We're all just offering opinions, not making demands. Get a grip. Finally, 95% of people posting who said assault rifles should be banned are Canadian?

Sucks people are smuggling things into your country. Maybe if Canadians relaxed their laws a bit it would cut down on the profit opportunities, thefts, violence that is associated with prohibition of items...just saying. Maybe if you guys built a wall...lolPJ_Soul said:

By the original posters definition, "assault weapon" is a term some use to describe some guns with certain features. It is neither a definition nor a name. It is a "Term" that I believe has become politicized.front spacer said:"Assault" weapons by their very name and definition should not be available!

Evidently not...seems as if most around here do not even know the difference between automatic and semi-automatic rifles. Everyone seems to have a different opinion as to what features turn a gun into an "assault weapon". I really just think that the energy put into trying to ban things could be way more productive elsewhere. All of the billions of dollars spent on this war against guns have resulted in almost no change, much like the war on drugs. I've offered several logical solutions in another thread and they got all but ignored... So go on, keep wasting time and money while fixing nothing.callen said:
