Ontario Superior Court refused to certify the class action against S&W with respect to the Danforth shooting (and M&P 40 was used)

Well, I have been saving this update for when it really matters and when I had news to report. In October, we were disappointed and disillusioned to get the Federal Courts (nearly 600 page) ruling throwing out our challenge on all fronts, we have MUCH to say about it, which is why we were first to file our notice of appeal in November, after hunting season. Since then, much has happened which we couldn't speak about until now. We are officially consolidated with 3 other appellants (CCFR et al, Doherty et al, Eichenburg et al), BOTH the Attorney Generals of Alberta and Saskatchewan have joined us this time--Constitutionally, the Canadian Constitution Foundation have also applied to intervene on our behalf--pending Court's approval. The Crown sued us for the costs of the lost case (and all their shrewd lawfare antics which deliberately lengthened and made the litigation more costly and complex (think 3 injunction motions near the Amnesty expiry deadlines, deadli

I see that Reddit is bitching about RS-Q1 being prohibited via FRT listing rather than actual legislation. While it still sucks (since stores without balls won't sell them), everyone should keep the following in mind:

1. There is no law that gives the FRT legal authority.
2. The FRT document itself states that it is only an administrative document only right on the second page and that Criminal Code and related regulations are the prevailing authority; the RCMP website where you get it from states the same.
3. The RCMP and creator of the FRT (former RCMP, now under contract) have testified under oath that the FRT isn't a legal document.

So can we stop with the fearmongering and the "complying above and beyond the law" bullshit? All it does is make it harder for people who are actually following the law (ex. people still openly using and selling Modern Sporters).

And, in my opinion, this is not something the Crown will actively pursue if push comes to shove because they lose the p

May 13, 2024

I would like to introduce myself and my wife.

I am Robert Alan Harper, aged 76, gun owner and collector for 55 years, shooter for 60 years. I am currently having health problems, hard of hearing, tinnitus, neuropathy, arthritis, diabetes, old man stuff, not unusual for a guy my age. I need a walker to walk any distance. I can do a short walk with a cane. I have no criminal record. My wife and I are together for 34 years, 8 years in Toronto and 26 years in Kingston, Ontario. Police have never been called to our home.

My wife of 34 years is Takeko Sakabe, aged 79, no interest in guns, pretty good health for her age.

On March 26, 0900, I was in bed reading and my wife was at the door. Nothing unusual so far. I hear her at the door now and then when Canada Post has a parcel. It was not the normal interchange, but longer than usual.

I got up and heard

$30M (I believe, per the budget) over a year and a half is 150-200 FTE employees (aka 15 - 20 people / province) working on this from now until the end of the election.... yeah, this isn't happening.

As a licensed gun owner the government continues to indicate that this sort of thing is my fault but has yet to explain how.
