Email from Omkaar at GunGear:
NEW GUN BANS
Friday May 1st 2020 was a sad day for anyone concerned about Truth, Democracy and Due Process.
The liberal government under the “leadership” of justin trudeau has used the tragedy in Nova Scotia and the reduced parliamentary oversight due to the Covid 19 epidemic to create new laws immediately banning 11 types of firearms, totaling close to 1500 models (details at the end of this email).There is not scientific or rational justification for the measures, it has been implemented using an undemocratic process, it wrongfully targets a minority, its going to cost tax payers billions to implement and enforce and at the end of it there will be no benefit to society.
Over the coming weeks and months, there will be challenges to these new laws and we will work to keep everyone appraised of the developments and actions that can be taken to help reverse these unjust laws.
For now I would like to share the information that we do have and offer some advice on what you right now.
1. The first thing that EVERY firearm owner needs to realize is that we are all in this together, the gun ban groups have already said that this law does not go far enough, so now the the scary “Assault Type” firearms are gone, guess how long before they start looking at “Sniper Rifles” aka any hunting rifle with a scope and then to the next and to the next, this is not stopping here, so whether you own one of the firearms affected or not, you still have a bone in this.
Heck as long as you care about Canada and our democracy, you should be pissed that the government is using OICs to pass such sweeping legislation and lying to justify it.2. Everyone needs to get a membership to the
Canadian Shooting Sports Association
and/or the
CCFR – Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights
These are the two primary groups that I can endorse, that will be tackling these laws from a legislative point of view as well as a public education campaign, these efforts cost money and our reluctance to donate the equivalent of 1 box of good hunting ammo per year to these groups is why we are now having to play catch up.3. Call your MP, be calm, be polite, but let them know that their constituents care about this. Find your MP contact info here MPs by Constituency
4. Educate the people around you. Do not be vitriolic, most people feel the way they do because they don’t know the about firearms law. We need to win public support by pointing out:
How safe our system already is,
How wrong it is to use an undemocratic process to pass laws,
How this law will cost billions to implement and enforce,
How wrong it is to criminalize legal gun owners
How this law would not affect public safety5. Finally for those who own any of the firearms now banned.
DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTIONS ON THE BAN.
There is a two year amnesty that gives you time to try to retain your legally purchased property. We will update you on that as the legal challenges get underway. For right now, continue to safely store your firearms at home. Do not take to the range.List of Firearms newly banned in Canada:
M16, AR-10, AR-15 rifles and M4 carbine
Ruger Mini-14 rifle
US Rifle M14
Vz58 rifle and CZ858 rifle

OmkaarWhat a great day for a drive to go get dinner in the 51.
Drove down to Richmond and took Richmond road to the lake. Drove along the lake to Port Burwell – there were hundreds of people social distancing at the ice cream shop on the corner! LOL.
Continued east along the lake shore, looking for somewhere to eat. Passed dozens of motorcycles, hot rods and classic cars. everyone waves!
Drove all the way to Port Dover and finally found somewhere to eat dinner! There were hundreds of people social distancing in Dover too! Got a nice perch dinner from the Erie Beach Tavern. Called in the order and they bring it out to you when it’s ready – very safe!
Then we just sat in the car and ate, while watching all the cars and people distantly going by. Beautiful warm drive home with the windows down!
My letter to my local MP:
Hello Mr. Mackenzie,
I wanted to express my concern with the way PM Trudeau slipped this ban of 1,500 firearms into place. It was underhanded and not in the best interest of Canadians.
This ban does not address the root cause of the problem (mass shooting in NS being the most recent example of “the problem”). He is simply taking away rights from 99.9% of law abiding Canadians.
The funny thing is, I don’t even own a gun or consider buying one. I come from a family of farmers, hunters and law abiding gun enthusiasts. I believe Canadians should have the right to own firearms.
Mr. Trudeau needs to address the following:
1) Where the firearms are coming from that are being used for crimes?
2) Are they illegal, stolen, legit registered?
3) How the individuals managed to acquire these firearms.
4) Most importantly, address the root cause of the problem.Trudeau’s solution will not stop mass shootings because he didn’t address the root cause of the problem.
The root cause of the problem is most likely illegal firearms and how easy it is to acquire them. We also need to ensure individuals who use firearms for crimes or are in the business of importing illegal firearms are punished severely. This will make the risk greater than the reward and help stop the illegal activity.Thank you,
YEs, currently has 2.73’s. 100kmph @ 1500 RPM… I like it better at 2000 – 2500RPM. That way, you can mash the pedal and gain speed rather than bog.
When in an 80KM zone I usually sit in 3rd gear…
Indeed! Thanks! Went for a ride on the bikes for ice cream. Taking the Dodge for a spin shortly to get beer.
Put a new door on the garage and received my order of drywall (20 sheets) to do the ceiling. That’ll be next week’s project.
Roomy garage 😁

Shit Tom, that’s a great find!
I missed out on a 77 Kawi 500 triple. Complete, not running and only $650!!! I went back an hour later after I convinced myself to buy it and it was gone!
You gotta go with your gut and jump on ‘em right away! I could have flipped that bike for $1,500 without even touching it! Really kicking myself for procrastinating on that one!
Diagnosed the front tire leak today – torn valve stem:

I can’t believe how much room is in the garage now with only 3 bikes and the Dodge (and lawnmower, and snow blower) in there!
Wednesday, I take M’s Ninja in for an oil change and the front tire of my Connie – developed a slow leak… Can’t see anything, so I’m hoping it just needs to be remounted to seal it up. I’ll do the soapy water test today to confirm diagnosis…
OMG! My rotors don’t look that bad, but I think they’re still in need of replacement – that wobble I have in the front end… I can’t judge – I know I have to look into the cause of the wobble, but I’ve got so many other things to do that it’s bottom of the priority list.
Sold the XR today for over 2X what I paid for it, with nothing into it – love it when that happens!
Sold the 77 KZ750 and parts bike for $200 more than I paid for it, with nothing into it… I could have held out for more, but it’s nice to have the space back in the garage.My neighbour came by and asked if I wanted to buy his bike lift… Had a pocket full of $$, how could I refuse! I parked the 94 ZG1000 parts bike on the lift to save space.
What a great day!!!
