News / Politics / Activism Assuming the coming Supreme Court challenge rules in the governments favour, are we expecting OIC #4?

Worst case scenario, the Supreme Court ruling rules in favour of the government, deciding all previous bans were just.

What do we expect? Another OIC wrapping up the remaining semi-autos by model?

New legislation announced banning firearms by newly defined features?

I’ll tell you what I did - I sold my Turkish semi “hunting rifle “ for a makasi, as I expect if the makasi / Carmel go under, the Turkish ones will be going the way of the dodo as well.

Don’t get me started on crusader, I already learned my lesson on a crypto with no FRT.

If you read the “expert” panel on firearms (which was going to be the path forward of Public Safety), their recommendation was to prohibit all semi autos with detachable mags of over 5 rounds (Stanag, Sks promag, etc). Take that as you will.

It would be interesting if the SKS were caught up in the same ban criteria as it wasn’t designed to have a detachable mag.

That would leave a lot to interpretation on historic firearms that have since been modified to accept a magazine other than OEM.

They touched on that too, essentially saying something along the lines of the stock configuration being ok but taking a closer look at modified SKS's. Whatever the fuck that means.

So like SKS-D’s and SKS-M’s, or like a bubbaed normal SKS? What does that even mean?

Nobody, including them, knows.

Any SKS that has been “modified” to take a magazine that holds more than 5, and is easily removable.
