Oh so the RCMP are doing a pretty good job with classification.... okayyyyyyyyyyyy.
HK243? "Can be fired too quickly so prohib". (Wait, what?)
Blaze 47? Has no compatibility with any AK47 parts but kinda looks like one so Prohib. (Uh huh... that's legit)
Ruger 10/22 mags? Well a pistol version of the rifle came out decades after the rifle so all the mags were somehow always designed for a pistol that didn't exist so prohib over 10 rounds. (There's some flawed logic there)
Scar 16 (and many others for the same reason)? Is compatible with an unobtainable military full auto trigger pack/parts so that makes it easily convertible so Prohib. (If you actually can't get the parts except by illegal means and with great expense how is that "easily convertible")
80% AR lowers? This block of aluminum could possibly be machined into a full auto (already illegal) so prohib. (banned because of what someone "might" do)
Swiss Arms and certain CZ858's? Could have possibly been made with some material or parts that were once in a full auto so Prohib. (Prove it. I'll help, you can't.)
I'm sure there are more but I am too tired to bother looking up more reasons for why the RCMP prohibits guns or associated things almost every chance they get, occasionally for no legitimate reason at all, sure sometimes they throw us a bone but the "cool" black guns we get are because they actually HAVE TO classify them as NR/R according to the law since they meet to the letter every criteria for NOT being prohibited (as opposed to filling the criteria for being NR/R), and there is plenty of backlash now when they do classify things poorly/wrongly. It's why things like the Type 81 sat there for what, 4 years before approval? Because they absolutely searched every possible avenue to see if they could attain prohibition for it. If it can be banned, it will be banned by the RCMP. Period.
So with this in mind, the conservatives projected/rumored simplified classification would keep the 3 categories, but make it really easy to determine what goes where. In the law. Not easily changed. OIC can be challenged, RCMP interpretations cannot be.
Prohib : Full autos
Restricted: Overall length under X
Non-Restricted: Overall Length over X
All the above mentioned firearms would be NR/R based on overall length alone. That's it, no maybe's, no what if's, no prohibiting things based on anti-gun agendas. No firearms sitting at the lab for years on end. The RCMP Bureaucrats WANTED this power over guns, and once they got it they have been screwing firearms owners over ever since then. Don't kid yourself, they have always been out to get rid of anything FA in the hands of the people, which eventually evolved into "anything that could possibly be turned into FA", which is most military styled semi-auto's. (PM me if anyone wants more info about that, I don't want to post it publicly since the source is out there, legit, but obscure and would likely be taken down if it got too much attention.)
No liberal nit-wit would be able to change it easily since it would be law. No liberal at all (like the ones that already determine classification) would determine classification, the law would, that's the whole point. The Liberals already have the "power" to ban whatever gun they want with an OIC, just like the Cons. "unbanned" the SA and 858. Not a good idea should one wish to be re-elected, and it would likely be immediately overturned by the next party anyways.
