It is absolute insanity. I wonder if you're referring to the Mossberg Blaze 47 that was somehow magically classified as prohibited (because of its vaguely AK-like cosmetic features?) even though the Blaze is non restricted and bears absolutely no mechanical or functional similarity to the AK whatsoever other than the fact that they're both firearms.
I really hope Mr. Wolverine is successful in winning this fight. When I get some extra coin, I'm hoping to buy a tactical mag and bolt release for my 858 from him.
Another thing that disturbs me about this whole debacle is the lack of accountability. What recourse do we have as firearms owners/businesses when such ridiculous decisions are being made? Can the courts overrule this somehow? I sure hope so.
Every firearm owner and business should be familiar with the laws that they are subject to.
From the firearms act...
74 (1) Subject to subsection (2), where
(a) a chief firearms officer or the Registrar refuses to issue or revokes a licence, registration certificate, authorization to transport, authorization to export or authorization to import,
(b) a chief firearms officer decides under section 67 that a firearm possessed by an individual who holds a licence is not being used for a purpose described in section 28, or
(c) a provincial minister refuses to approve or revokes the approval of a shooting club or shooting range for the purposes of this Act,
the applicant for or holder of the licence, registration certificate, authorization or approval may refer the matter to a provincial court judge in the territorial division in which the applicant or holder resides.
(2) An applicant or holder may only refer a matter to a provincial court judge under subsection (1) within thirty days after receiving notice of the decision of the chief firearms officer, Registrar or provincial minister under section 29, 67 or 72 or within such further time as is allowed by a provincial court judge, whether before or after the expiration of those thirty days.
Pretty much everything the CFO or Registrar does is subject to judicial review, but the person affected by the decision has to initiate the process.
Nothing the RCMP do with regards to FRT rulings is subject to such review, but that's because the FRT is just a legal opinion. It is the CFO who relies on that opinion and makes a decision that affects the owner that triggers the judicial review.
All gun owners need to do is challenge everything that the CFO does that is adverse to firearms owners and the entire firearms act would collapse in mere weeks.
