Among those things smuggled are high capacity magazines ... And stupidly for decades fully functional highcap mags with an easily removed pin were sold in Canada for dumb vanity reasons.

So now being impossible to stop the magazines from coming up and impossible to get them out of circulation.. the only real course was to prohibit anything they fit in..

UNFORTUNATELY dumb non-firearms owners just went insane and started banning a wide range of things that didn't make sense.

Anti-material rifles? Ok. There was a loud voice of "just shoot him through the walls" after the last attempt on the prime minister's life (armed reservist with truck crash into residence)

Anything that takes an AR or AK mag.. ok (pragmatic) ... Could have at least had an optional rule for California mags attached to keep non-restricted.

Random firearms that don't? ... Yeah they got dumb with it.
