So an antique elephant gun is an assault weapon?

the OIC includes things that aren't "assault weapons". I'm OK with the 20mm and 10kJ rules. Too bad about the antique elephant guns, if there are any.

Why are you okay with that rule? Is the old flintlock fowling piece on the wall of my old bosses cabin that dangerous? Is a dangerous game gun that belongs to an old man such a risk that you’d take away his one keepsake from when he went on safari?
