My 12g shot gun is now prohibited for turkey and already got my tag

Thousands of waterfowl hunters should pump the brakes and not listen to everything posted by ultra right conservative click-bait websites.

Or they could just use calipers on their bore with the choke removed and verify for themselves. How people can be so retarded as to ignore something they can just CHECK THEMSELVES IN 2 SECONDS is hard for me to understand
 
Do you shoot it with the choke out? No? Then the threaded portion is not part of the bore.

If I had a .308 rifle and had an inch of the muzzle counterbored to 21 mm would that make it prohibited? I seriously doubt it.

OIC

"Also included are two new categories of firearms that exceed safe civilian use. These are characterized by the following physical attributes: a 20 mm bore or greater."

Page 56 first paragraph.

Exact quote but don't take my word for it, look it up.

Bore measures 20mm or greater it's now prohibited.

That's not in dispute, what's unclear is the interpretation of the threaded portion being a true reflection of the bore diameter.
Also, as I posted above, if you used your firearm for subsistence you can continue to do so through the amnesty.

How is the part where the choke threads NOT part of the bore? What is the bore? One definition is "the inside diameter of a hole, tube, or hollow cylindrical object or device". Is the threaded part inside the tube or not?

And by the interpretation of Ed Burlew, counterboring a 308 to 21mm would make it prohibited, because there is no specific place to measure bore diameter and instead it is measured at the largest possible spot along the barrel - which for a shotgun with removeable chokes is where the choke screws in.

Do i think anyone is going to be charged or go to jail over this? No. Do I think this might be a way to get the whole OIC thrown out? It sure doesn't hurt to try!

If you are designated as a FN then yes.

If you are any other "race" then no it's prohibited and as per the OIC needs to be secured and not transported, moved or used.

Terrible loss I know and frustrating but it is what it is..
 
We are stuck between a rock and a hard place, without an amendment there will be 1.000.000 prohbited firearms to buyback, they will have to cut into Wendy, Nathalie and Heidi's bonus.

No. Sustinence hunters, whether native or not, are allowed to use their guns through the amnesty. Read the damn thing before you start spouting racist bull####.

"In addition, 1.3 million Canadians participate in legal
hunting. These owners may also be affected if they have
been using a newly prohibited firearm that was previously
nonrestricted. If they have been using such a firearm for
sustenance hunting or to exercise a right affirmed in section 35 of the Constitution, they may continue to use their
firearm for the same purpose, until the end of the amnesty
period. "

Modern treaty obligations and Indigenous engagement and consultation
The Amnesty Order permits the use of any of the newly prohibited firearms, if previously non-restricted, to hunt for the purposes of sustenance or to exercise a right recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution. From fall 2018 to spring 2019, the Government held extensive engagement with Indigenous groups, provinces and territories, municipalities, law enforcement agencies, academics, victim groups and other key stakeholders on limiting access to assault-style firearms and handguns. Recognizing that some Indigenous and sustenance hunters could be using previously non-restricted firearms for their hunting and may be unable to replace these firearms immediately, the Amnesty Order includes provisions for the limited use of these firearms for such purposes. Following the publication of the Regulations, the Government will continue to engage with Indigenous groups to assess whether the prohibition of these firearms has a continued impact on the right to hunt affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution.

I interoperate that as 1. Have to be Indigenous AND sustenance hunter.

An Indigenous sustenance hunter.
