They specified "military" so does that mean they want to ban the Enfields, Mausers, Ross rifle, etc.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but holy fuck, HOW DOES NO ONE ELSE SEE THEY JUST WANT TO GET RID OF GUN OWNERSHIP!

Even the 10/22 would be banned as it's used by the Israeli army. Fun fact they use it as a less than lethal riot control device

They have since reclassified it as a lethal weapon and basically stopped using it because it kept killing people.

Turns out even with a .22 shooting people in the legs isn't great for their health, never mind when you miss and it hits higher.
