I have been asked what this means and unfortunately I can not tell you exactly. His statement was vague.
There are several possibilities of what his words can mean. As time goes on, I hope to get a more accurate picture of what his ill-targeted intent actually is.
The most likely scenario is a ban by OIC. Easy OICs have already been established by the passing of C-71. They will target AR-15s and some big firearm names. Some of these firearms will be bought back like he says, but costs will quickly spiral out of control forcing them to put the bulk of their bans in the Mystery 12(9) class. Storage regulations can be changed by OIC to allow lower governments a say in storage but this will be challenged in court and I expect it to be defeated.
OICs require no parliamentary debate. They are easy and the limited attack on gun owners and our previous pattern of “taking it” will ensure their agenda advances without resistance.
The most dangerous scenario is a legal change. If they attack by OIC, gun manufacturers can adapt with new designs just like they have in the past. If they change the law to ban all magazine fed semi-autos, the gun industry and our sport will never recover. People taking up hunting is down but people taking up target, sport and action shooting is way up. It is the later groups that will be criminalized. They proved they can make changes with C-71 with no repercussions.
More information is needed to determine what path they will take.
