Not to rain on anyone's Xmas, but I really can't wrap my head around those who persist in thinking that they are somehow ahead of the curve by owning only non-restricted firearms and ridiculing anything restricted as mere "range toys". Folks such as these have either willfully or negligently decided to ignore the history of Canadian Firearms Legislation over the past 100 years, with an emphasis on the most recent 30 year decline in our rights. I find this ignorance deliriously odd, given the professed hobby of those who spout it. But I digress. I've been around long enough, and owned enough "black and green" guns of all classifications less FA, to know that they are all just a stroke of the govt pen away from prohibition and eventual confiscation. After all, it was a mere stroke of the Liberal and Conservative pens that saw my very own firearms become 12(3), 12(4), 12(5) and 12(6) prohibs, some of them (eg. Steyr AUG) went from NR one day, to Prohib the very next. So if you think that the very same medicine is not in store for your very expensive and oh, so precious non-restricted black and green firearms? Well, then, some of you are seriously delusional. The RCMP may very well be evil and politicized at the top end of their bureaucracy, but they are also not stupid. They aren't about to waste their current opportunity to screw all owners of black and green guns in squarely in the keister. Just wait for it. In the interim, enjoy your soon to be restricted or prohibited X-95. Just don't forget to stock up on KY Jelly so it slips smoothly from your hands when the time inevitably comes....
