One of the reasons that i know the Aug is prohib, I want one so bad, man not only cool but a great rifle. I looked at one before they were prohib, they can be converted to right hand eject easy for lefty shooters, barrel swap is really easy, cool sleak lines. Awesome rifle. I didn't have the money to buy rifles when I was in high school by the time I had money they were all prohib.
The prohib list is one of the greatest injustices to the Canadian people in our entire history. It deemed that a persons property was illegal to own with a simple pen stroke. C-68 made provisions for even less red tape when it came to prohibing firearms.
The libs extended firearms time schedule, the first one called for full confiscation by the late 80's of handguns and semiautos but the pc's got in the way, then in the early 90's they wanted to confiscate or prohib all handguns and semi's before the end of the 90's but that was pushed back by the qoute "unexpected resistance by firearms owners". There have been several threads on cgn showing what the libs wanted to do going all the way back to 1977. You think your only fighting wc and her coalition ilk, but the true supporters of gun control in Canada go back more then 40 years.
Wanna see the aug and others in our hands again join the nfa or cssa, be vocal, go to gun shows, I had a table at the last chas gun show and had a blast. How many here have even looked at the prohib list, how many here have even talked to their mp about their firearms concerns? The real problem in Canada, is that people have been led to believe they are powerless when fighting the media or a precieved taboo subject.
