I'm sure this will look great in the court case for them.

That was literally exactly my thought. They contradict themselves constantly. 

Not to mention the fact too that when the government needed to cull deer on an Island off the BC coast, they hired a US firm to come in with ARs and shoot them from helicopters, even though "YoU dOnt NeED aN AR-15 tO hUnT!!!!" 

Literally the most popular hunting rifle on the continent I get, given the number of Americans that use them for everything from squirrels and rabbits (22lr conversion) up to bear or moose (50 Beowulf conversion).

They were actually using Bren2 rifles.

Which are also now prohibited firearms. So in other words the government set a precedent that the Bren is fine to cull deer with (aka hunt with.) Yet then they turn around later and go "Scary assault style rifle." And ban it.
