This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
If you stop an officer of the Arms Regulator from doing their job, you can get in trouble. You might get imprisoned for up to 3 months or have to pay a fine of up to $1,000. This happens if you obstruct them when they are entering, searching, seizing, or detaining something as allowed by the proposed Arms Bill.
