Sorry, but the .416 Barrett is capable of over 10,000PSI or 7,375 Ft-lbs muzzle energy, so it is banned too. It can push a 398gr solid to over 8,700ft lbs. They banned by energy, then added a few names and calibers on the list for clarity: they did not ban by name or calibre.
So is the .375 CheyTac (7,700 ft-lbs) and .408 Chey Tac (8,300 ft-lbs).
Basically they pushed long range larger diameter competition shooting down to .338 Lapua Mag as a maximum energy. Yes, there might be other cartridges I am not thinking of, but they are not as common.
Liberals just bent you over... don't blame me for clarifying.
Pardon me for my lack of knowledge on the matter but would it be possible for the conservatives if they ever get back in power to reverse this OIC? Could they do their own OIC to the opposite effect?
I can't imagine the value of all the rifles over 10,000 Joules added up in Canada. it must be a staggering amount of money Trudeau has committed tax payers to dull out.
Who knows?

An idiot ban !
That will take care of a lot of our problems in this dump of a country

Travelled much? I’m pissed about the gun ban too but it’s hardly a dump of a country.
IANAL but an OIC to grant LTATT for all prohibited rifles banned under the 2020 liberal OIC, until c71 can be repealed (it prevents OICs moving guns fro prohibited to restricted/non-restricted).

No debate, no consultation and as of now no way to come into compliance with out surrendering or destroying them.
Yup...
- they shut down Parliament for COVID-19 and made gatherings illegal...
- they waited until after Tax Day to ensure that was passed and no one could not pay MP's wages by withholding their tax money...
- they did it during a pandemic so there would be no one out of country on competitions with them...
- they did it by Order in Council so they wouldn't need Parliament approval...
- they did it right after a mass killing to ensure support & insult the victims...
- no one can get a protest permit and legally protest it because of COVID-19, so protestors can be legally arrested...
- Parliament can't be reconvened to debate it and hold anyone accountable because of COVID-19...
- when Parliament does reconvene it needs to deal with COVID-19 first creating delays (and bringing up the ban before COVID-19 makes that party look heartless)...
- with COVID-19 pushing back court cases any legal battle could be pushed back years beyond the amnesty...
- and any resurgence of COVID-19 will likely delay Parliament resitting until after an election when they will use COVID-19 as a scare tactic to get re-elected...
and finally,
- they did it with Parliament shut down so if the ban fails miserably they can blame someone like Bill Blair and make him the sacrificial lamb, thus getting re-elected again...
A stroke of flawless dictatorship genius if I ever seen one.

If the legalization of marijuana was to strangle out the black market, is the prohibition of firearms to stock the black market.
(2)In making regulations, the Governor in Council may not prescribe anything to be a prohibited firearm, a restricted firearm, a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device or prohibited ammunition if, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, the thing to be prescribed is reasonable for use in Canada for hunting or sporting purposes.
