The Government prohibited certain firearms basically on looks alone.If it looked evil & scary, then it was toast.

There is no sense to the governments reasoning in these matters.

SKBY.

Hopefully the Tavor isn't as scary to them as this scary rifle I don't want to drop 3k on a rifle that goes prohib!!

 

[shooterrm]

So it is just prescibed prohib on looks alone...

Got to love the goverment, they sure do cater to the bleeding hearts.

Thanks for the info.

Ya, my thoughts exactly...

It failed the point system and was deemed a bad boy ie. high capacity mag, rapid fire, evil bayonet lug, politically incorrect black/green colour, scary looking, no hunting value etc. In the other words, everything a liberal hates.

wont need to be marked as prohib if the govt doesent do something about the UN marking sheme, no gun company is going to laser engrave all the rifles coming out of their factories with a unique number other than the serial they already have.

im sure Canam can give more details if the tavor is going to be effected by that bill at the end of the year or not.

 

[CanAm]

We can have the Tavor marked with whatever we want.

I've heard stirrings about some bill that could cause headaches but I don't know anything beyond that.

Couldn't find anything on the forum. Seems like some administrative changes that won't really change anything...

[Scarecrow]

Actually if I remember right its the conservatives that prohibited alot of these guns.

 

[Matt_P]

Major blow number 1 was the conservatives under Kim Campbell. Major blow number 2 was the Liberals under Jean Cretein. Neither side can be trusted, but we seem to stand a better chance with the Conservatives at fixing some of this mess simply because there's more gun owning MPs in the CPC than any other party.

 

[Claven2]

Kim Campbell was not a Conservative. She was a PROGRESSIVE Conservative. (ie, Liberal-Light)
