Smith&Wesson - Colt

[dvn00]

Does anyone know the logic or rationale behind the restricted status of the Smith&Wesson and Colt or any .22 long gun in general (other than barrel length)?

Just looking at it means babies die all over the world. It is a variant based solely on looks. F*CK the RCMP lab for this type of crap.

There is no logic on how grovenment runs things.

Insightful - They must of had some technical justification that correlates to engineering, design, etc....

Nope.If it looks like an AR, it's automatically restricted because of it's appearance.It's the gov't, it doesn't have to make sense.

The Ruger SR22 - looks like an AR and is non-restricted -- the Rem 597VTR - looks like an AR and is non-restricted. If you accessorize them, they get real scary looking!

If firearms are being restricted based on, "looking scary". Than all firearms are in jeoprady and therefore Restricted because all look scary.......

I seem to think the restricted status of some .22's must be based technically on the action?
