460 Wby really is prohibited

We have a Westley Richards 577 Nito coming in (@243K US$ !!) in a couple weeks. Just checked, still NR (for now) Guy waited four years and will be into it for just about exactly 400K CAN$ by the time its in his hands. I wonder what compensation the government would be will to do if they were to confiscate it if it goes to prohib? (hate calling it a buy back when they never owned them in the first place)

Is it Ernest Hemingway's gun? WOW
 
Well he may become a very good ally for the legal challenges, considering he seems to have some deep pockets.

Someone with his tastes is likely to vote Conservative. If he's an enemy of the Liberal government, rather than a friend, he'll make an ideal poster-boy to show that the very rich aren't exempt.
 
Non restricted, so non compliance will be easier.

I think an item like this would also appreciate in value. He should frame a legal case that the banning and mandatory buy back of this particular firearms is going to cost him future earnings, and sue the federal government not only for the current value but also for those future earnings. Bring a professional firearms appraiser in to take the stand.
 
capable...is a very slippery word that could mean any 12 gauge shotgun could fall under this category as it is possible to fire a .50 BMG from a 12 gauge (probably not twice...) which would render the shotgun "capable" of firing a projectile with greater than 10,000 joules.

This is something that should concern everyone. The word "capable" is just as insidious and dangerous as the word "variant". As you and others have pointed out, the gun can blow up as a result of that one and only firing, but, all it need do is fire that one time to be considered as "capable". Anybody who thinks that interpretation will not be used by the Liberals and the RCMP has their head stuck in the same sand as those who denied what the Liberals were willing to do in terms of screwing us over in the 1990s.
 
Under free trade, I thought that you could not pass a law in Canada that denies a US company a route to profit that was previously available, which would seem to be a lot of this stuff. There were fuel additives that were banned in the US for toxicity, and continued for sale in Canada...
 
When has a gang banker ever used a 10kj gun in a crime? They couldn’t even hold one up FFS.

This has nothing to do with the ongoing gun violence, they are simply ensuring civilians don't have capabilities to engage long-range targets when in times of crisis... Looks like they are scared sh!tless...
 
Basically, anything 300 WM or over is capable of 10K J. It might only fire it once but it could reach it. Just check out the J of a proof load of some of the lager chamberings...

^^This. Legally, 577 Nitro rifles are very probably prohibited by the OIC. In reality, this thing is such a legal clusterf*ck that most of us will be long gone before this is all settled. Or the OIC will be obsolete by a new bill that will ban practically everything.
 
Nothing in this OIC is unintended, remember if this was an actual bill having to go through whatever committee then voted on then yes it might have some unintended result because it would have been a product of compromising with all sides. But if Trudeau just woke one day and say LOLz i’m gonna ban these by oic today then yes he meant every word of it, there are no accidents.

I got the letter asking if I wanted to add firearms deactivation to my business license. I couldn't burn it fast enough, but this makes me think how I would feel if I was asked to weld up a 400K gun. I couldn't even do that to a poor old Perazzi. Its kind of like saying the veterinarians are very busy, would you like a job euthanizing old pets.
 
How many murders have taken place on Canadian soil with a .460 Weatherby safari rifle?

Is the obvious answer zero?
