This could be pure copium but this could signal a shift from up top.  The liberals aren't blind to the fact the confiscation isn't going well.  Up til now the only reason they had to keep it going were the seats in quebec, but with all floor crossers they may be moving to abandon the project altogether, Provost be damned.

Or it could be luck, but I damn I can hope.

It’s not a shift from up top. The RCMP lab has nothing to do with the OICs or legislation. Its always been this way.

This is correct. As much as people here don't want to admit it, the RCMP has nothing to do with lawmaking or OIC bullshit. They are up to their own shenainagans.

Well, RCMP has FRT banned guns randomly that had been on the market for months or years. Charles Daly N4S had an FRT and was available for a long time, then randomly got reassigned prohibited by the RCMP after already having an NR FRT. So the RCMP upper brass/lab does like to crap on us too from time to time.

That was the classic "unnamed variant" curse. Basically after every major OIC there will be a few firearms that retroactively getting added to the list via FRT as the legislators missed it. Nothing new. At least it is predictable that they only do this after every OIC.

Like I said, they are up to their own shenanigans lol

They were getting up to some excellent shenanigans when Provost started getting in the way.

Not quite true. Brenda Lucki was more than happy to help the Liberals by shifting blame from the NS shooting onto legal gun owners.

Yeah both the Gov and RCMP need to be removed from decision making process, hence why we need the Simplified Classification System. Where just objectively all semi-autos are legal, regardless of appearance.
