RCMP making their own rules again..

[ballistic acorn]

Luckily my flintlock pistol however is still restricted. I guess piracy is still a concern.-_-

They don't want to bust up that monopoly

The over 500 FPS is a real joke. You can buy a flintlock rifle without any PAL

But, can one buy a solar powered lazer beam guitar?
Sigh, there are bigger issues to be concerned about and breaking into deeper fringe groups isnt one of them.

Modern Flintlock LONG guns do NOT require a PAL. Modern percussion muzzleloading long guns DO.

Which makes no sense to me. Or, considering who makes the laws here maybe it does.

What about "professional courtesy"?....

Somehow the status of some objects changes when used to commit a crime. A sub 500fps airgun is unregulated until used in a robbery, then it magically becomes a firearm.

Such has always been the case; same goes for a toy gun; use one to commit robbery; it's armed robbery despite the fact that it shoots suction cups.

Now RCMP ceased the import of the Benjamin Marauder.. Because they had shrouds on it. Some airgun models, they just cut the shrouds, flush to muzzle. Wasn't good enough for the RCMP and the Mrod ( Marauder ) And now they want the shrouds completely gone.

Not really. Was a case where 2 teens went on a drive by with a BB gun, ended up shooting someone in the eye. I didn't see ANY weapon charges. Just aggravated assault, and released to their parents.
