We were close to having the long gun registry repealed early last year and a whole bunch of scary black rifles were coming into the country. Obviously something had to be done since they were:
INEXPENSIVE
"BULLPUP"
NON-RESTRICTED
How would the RCMP track all these scary rifles?
So they came up with a way to deem them prohib...sort of...since their official position is that the "legal classification of the rifles is currently under review". So there they sit in legal limbo...it should not be allowed, but who has the money to fight them?
Were there problems with the rifles?
Well, that depends on how you interpret the law in this area.
If you check threads surrounding Marstar's VZ 58 problems, issues with legal ten round pistol mags for the Brugger and Thomet TP9, classification issues with the CSG5 and a whole host of others you, will find numerous inconsistencies with the way the RCMP interprets the law to suit their agenda.
