The function of the rifle is what makes it a prohib, not the name alone.
You did not define the word "variant" and tell me how it can not legally be applied to this situation.
You can attempt to justify it in your own mind that it is impossible that it could go prohib but if any of the recent actions by the RCMP have taught us anything, it is that nothing is safe or guaranteed.
That is not an answer as to how it would be impossible to prohibit them by calling it a "variant" or simply writing a new FRT like what was done recently with the TNW 50's. The lab will use any means possible, even make some new ones up if they so wish to fit their agenda.
Except that the Ak47 and Sig 550, semi or full auto, are prohibited by legislation. The Tavor is not prohibited by legislation, only prohibited IF it is fully auto. The name really does matter in this case.
without testing the legal defenition of "variant" in court, how do you know that it could not be applied here?
You make is sound like "variant" hinges on something being legislated, is that defined somewhere?

What would the tavor be a variant of?
The Ak47? SG550? AUG?
You keep posting here asking people to define 'variant', why dont you find out the definition for us?
there already is a prohib version of the tavor.
My point of asking was that there is no defenition, nobody has tested the word "variance" and it's use by the RCMP pertaining to the firearms act in the courts yet. Currently they are free to use it as they please remaining uncontested every time it has been used.

Wow. This rumor thread went all the way to 8 pages eh?
I sincerely doubt a Tavor reclassification is on the books for this year or next.
That being said: if it happens, that's just another can of stupid trouble they've opened.

Unfortunately, this is true. Time to call the CPC HQ and write our MP's again to pass legislation that protects FRT's from arbitrary changes. "Where's the legislation that we were promised?" They've lost my vote until they make good on one of their many promises. Harper promised to abolish C-68 and that never happened. It's been going downhill for legal firearms owners ever since...
There's also been rumours of the RCMP wanting to prohibit .50 BMG and rumours of the Great Flying Pumpkin being spotted early this morning.

Very true.......for that matter , any federal govt. with a majority can create any firearm laws they wish.....they can ban all private firearm ownership in Canada with the stroke of the pen since unlike the U.S. , firearm rights are not enshrined in the Canadian Constitution........firearm owners are pretty much at the mercy of any govt. in power ; luckily the Senate is quite heavy with conservatives right now.....so that might give firearm owners some breathing room if the current CPC does fall in the next election......

No doubt the RCMP want to prohibit pretty much all firearms if they could get away with it.......the RCMP is probabley the biggest anti-firearm lobby group in Canada right now.....
