So if all you guys are buying AR lowers because they might be reclassified as prohibited...doesn't that mean that if they get reclassified as a prohib you will have to turn them in or have them destroyed? Afterall, every serial numberd lower you buy will be tied to your name and the rcmp will then know that you are in possession of a prohibited device. no?
The more registered AR in circulation, the bigger a political liability it is to make them prohib.
Even without an AR prohibition, the upcoming legislation will cost the Libs almost all the rural ridings. An AR prohibition will cost them some urban ridings as well, where young hipsters are just getting into the game and realizing how arbitrary the existing gun laws are.
Trudeau is mis-reading public sentiment. The younger crowd that voted him in, did so out of a mistaken impression that "Liberal" means less controlling that "Conservative." They're already starting to realize their mistake, and the Liberals are tanking fast in the polls. The wog-wogs are blaming India (at least partially), but it isn't that simple. Trudeau's been sliding in the polls for almost a year, as more people realize he's an idiot with the right wardrobe and right last name, but still just an idiot bent on picking their pockets and controlling their lives.

The younger generation, who Trudeau depends on to win elections, is exactly the group that's going to look at the numbers and say "Wait, there's over 200K of these things in Canada, but they're not a problem, so why exactly are you doing this?"
The larger the number of them out there and registered, the bigger the political damage if they do something arbitrary.
