Scroll down a bit to read what he says about 12g and 10 gauge shot guns.

Everyone needs to chill until we see what happens next.

Canada is a country of laws - not tweets. In another thread someone contacted the lab and they confirmed that bores would be measured without the presence of removable accessories - like chokes, in the same way they measure barrels with "removable" accessories like flash hiders - even if the flash hider is welded to the barrel.
 
I would argue that since the gun is not intended to be fired without the choke tube in place, the threaded portion of the barrel does not actually constitute bore diameter.
 
Just a thought.
Could you not silver solder a choke in place (say light mod)making it not removable to get around this no choke in place issue.Still usable for most things.
 
I am encouraged by one thing... this Shotgun uncertainty has dragged the FUDD's into the fight.. lol

It seems the only fight it has dragged them into is to argue that tweets are law, the RCMP can be trusted, and the minster is on their side.

"A spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair on Tuesday said the ban would not include shotguns, and was preparing an official statement on the matter as the National Post went to press."

Just wait till the next step is announced, handgun bans by municipalities and central storage to remove the remaining hunting rifles and shotguns from the home. Women’s advocate groups are saying hunting guns are used in domestic violence and homicides, we're all wife beaters and murders in wait right? If it saves one life it’s worth the inconvenience of having to pay for the central storage of your bolt gun if it means you can still hunt with and “own” it.
 
No they won't, Bill Blair already tweeted clarification that 12 and 10's are not banned besides which, my shotguns mostly all have the bore marked by the manufacturer on the barrels. The 12's are anywhere from 18.4 to 18.7 bores so that's under 20 mm.

Yup, you can believe Bill. Not the letter of the law or the most experienced firearm lawyer in Canada. Believe the alcoholic ex cop.

Actually we should not chill. We should be outraged by this travesty of justice, regardless of whether shotguns are caught in the net this time or not. Chill? Chilling is for Fudds as they await the inevitable banning of their dear hunting guns. Don't forget, just as guns have been vilified for 50 years, so have hunters. It;s only a matter of time.
 
Relax guys! All the liberals are doing is ruling by dictatorship via OIC and laws via twitter

This is proof that the Liberals have not completely thought through the implications of the OIC, and are now working to plug the potential gap. I am not impressed...
 
My barrel on my Winchester SX3 measures 18.2 mm with the choke....exactly how it was made to be fired. If some of you guys wanna hand in your 12 gauges .....go ahead. Its like some of you guys are excited and are are looking for more guns to ban.

No. We are excited that this OIC is so poorly written that it might get thrown out entirely, and the fact that it may also include shotguns means that far more people are having their stuff banned than before, which means more support to try and get this ban overturned.

I don't think anyone is planning to turn in their shotguns.
