1. They are not taxed like cigarettes or even gas. They are taxed like normal consumer goods.
if the average gun costs say $500 there should be at least a $250 tax on it.
2. They are not making regulations when they decide the classification of a gun. You are making a ridiculous argument - or at least trying to.
3. Tell me where a sawed off shotgun is legal. Nowhere in America.
!. Incredibly stupid, and simply support for harassment of good Canadian citizens.
2. Examples:
The 10/22 .22 LR rimfire rifle was produced first in 1964. Rimfire rifles are exempt from magazine restrictions, as they are bunny killers..........rimfire pistols (like all other pistols) are restricted to 10 rounds. Shortly after the first production of the 10/22 rifle, extended magazines to hold 25 or more rounds were introduced.
Then (in 2010) Ruger began producing a pistol that takes 10/22 magazines..........and the RCMP declared all large capacity magazines for the 10/22 as prohibited, despite the regulations stating that a magazine is to be considered to be part of the firearm it was "designed and manufactured" to fit.
Magazines produced between 1964 and 2010 could not have been "designed and manufactured" for a pistol that did not exist.
Remember, these are .22s we are talking about, not man killers.
And that, my friend, is re-writing the law simply to harass gun owners..
Secondly, the RCMP decided that another .22 rifle was a "variant" of the Kalishnikov design.....the infamous AK 47......because it faintly looked like that rifle. It shared no parts, it worked on an entirely different operating system (blowback as opposed to gas operated), was half the size, and fired a weak rimfire cartridge as opposed to an assault rifle cartridge. And it didn't even really look like an AK.
Banned. To be surrendered without compensation.
And that, my friend, is re-writing the law simply to harass gun owners..
There are a few more, but that should demonstrate clearly why the police should not be given absolute control.
