correct. I am not opposed to the OIC. I would have preferred it be done with specific, objective parameters instead.

But then the OIC wouldn't exist :)

I agree with its objective to reduce availability of low recoil semi-auto carbines. I don't agree it's the right method, it's missed a bunch of stuff, and very poor job of communication, explanation. Restrict vs. prohib another aspect.

lol, a fuck ton of muzzle loaders were also banned. They even banned RPG’s and Stingers 😆 the OIC was a COD/BATTLEFIELD weapons list

muzzle loaders banned by the 10kJ limit? I'm OK with that. Still, could've done it without an OIC and some people would still be mad.

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?
