Preliminary Report on the Canadian Use and Value of Non-Restricted
PRELIMINARY REPORT Canadian use and value of non-restricted firearms prohibited under SOR/2020-96 Submitted Photo Produced by the OFAH July 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY he Preliminary Report on the Canadian use and value of non-restricted firearms prohibited under SOR/2020-96 is intended to better inform the general public, political, and legal discussions that are happening right now about the amended regulations (SOR/2020-96) Tintroduced on May 1, 2020 that prohibited a large number of firearms in Canada. To our understanding, this is the only comprehensive and cohesive examination of the uses and estimated financial values of previously non-re- stricted firearms prohibited under SOR/2020-96, including any available government impact analyses and rationalization for the prohibitions. The results of this preliminary report are intended to provide a qualitative list of previously non-restricted firearms to show the categorial uses by Canadians, but is not able to quantify how many people own or use these firearms, the frequency of uses, or the collective financial value of the firearms being prohibited. The preliminary report identifies the specific hunting and sporting uses as identified through a survey for 64 previously non-restricted firearms that are listed in the RCMP’s Firearms Reference Table (FRT) as prohibited by SOR/2020-96. There are many other newly prohibited firearms were not reported by survey respondents, as well as many identified firearms that meet the new prohibition thresholds for bore diameter and muzzle energy that are not yet listed in the FRT. The number of non-restricted firearms prohibited under the amended regulations is much higher than 64, but the report is limited to those firearms where specific ‘use’ information was provided through the survey. -

Fran Taylor Brought Art and Talent to Gay Fad by Kelley Summers Jent
Taxco silver will shine at Moran in Tiny porcelain dish made a bold March statement at $9,000 $1.50 National p. 1 National p. 1 AntiqueWeekHE EEKLY N T IQUE A UC T ION & C OLLEC T ING N E W SP A PER T W A C EN T R A L E DI T ION VOL. 52 ISSUE NO. 2629 www.antiqueweek.com FEBRUARY 17, 2020 Fran Taylor brought art and talent to Gay Fad By Kelley Summers Jent Women have been working from home since the beginning of time but making money and starting companies from home is something we think of happening in the last 25-30 years. That is not the case. In a 1949 book by Polly Webster titled How to Make Money at Home there is a small blurb on page 82 about Gay Fad Studios. Some called the woman who started it “fool hearted” for quitting a successful dress designing job to paint tin waste cans. It goes on to say that Gay Fad Studios was a premiere hand painted glassware company. This blurb did not even mention the woman’s name let alone list her many accomplishments. Fran Taylor was born to Polish immigrants in 1915 in Pennsylvania. The family lived by modest means. When she was young her father moved the family to Detroit to secure a job in the automotive industry and better the life of his family. Growing up in Detroit Fran learned fashion and that she had a love of art. She attended art school in 1938.
