    I believe we have a few legal fights on the go right now. They could just use some more funding.

    I believe that the rifles capable of this are being targetted because they would be the single most effective tool for a sufficiently dedictated individual should they decide to prematurely unseat an overreaching elected official, to put it nicely.

    If one anticipates a more and more unstable future, the likelihood of such a dedicated person arising amongst the capable (read: armed) population increases.

    I believe limiting this potential risk to government officials was the single most important intent behind this particular aspect of the OIC.

    Honestly, I disagree. Most use cases of .50 BMG is for stuff like shooting into an engine block and detonating unexplored ordnance. Carrying around a .50 bmg rifle in public would be extremely conspicuous (I’m pretty sure these rifles are hardly ever used in crimes, ever). In addition to that, they are expensive. Crimes like forcefully “unseating” an elected official are usually done by people who are irrational and rash. They would likely not be able to afford the price tag. I’m willing to bet almost anyone who is successful enough in life to drop 5k on a rifle has enough to lose that they won’t do something stupid.

    Well said. The previous comments only serve to justify the gun ban to those who feel it is necessary.

    That's how I see it too. They don't want us to have anything that could be effective in any sort of civil war or uprising. Basically the same reason for any sort of weapons ban in history, can't have the peasants getting uppity.

    This guy gets what? That big bore rifles can shoot long ranges and kill things? Don’t we all get that? Are you saying this justifies the OIC? That it will somehow stop the lunatic that would perpetrate such a crime?

    You’re right, no one will do anything stupid because we are vetted, licensed owners and good people. The problem is the government doesn’t think that is the case.

    CommonCents nailed it though. The end game here is civil disarmament for fear of uprisings when populations are forced into authoritarian rule. This line of logic is well documented and discussed by major world governance organizations like the UN.

    If you apply that logic to the OIC it only makes sense. Historically there has been very little gun violence and mass shootings in Canada compared to other places in the world from licensed owners. The most recent one surrounded by controversy and loose details, as well as suspiciously convenient timing. They are attacking the license holders (tax payers, good Canadians) because that is who they are afraid of. They don’t actually give a crap about gangs and gun crime and welcome more of it because it helps them pass laws.

    They targeted semi autos and long range, heavy hitting calibers. These guns aren’t used by criminals like you say. The government fears the citizens, and this is timely based on the “new normal” authoritarian overreach we find ourselves in today. They are worried people will try to stop them from their agenda, as wrong as they are on that.

    They don’t care if you get shot. They are worried about themselves like any natural politician.
