I have been saying for years that there is some reason the government (or governments) are going after rifles instead of handguns.  They say it's to stop violent crime but violent crime always involves handguns, never rifles.

 

I'm sure I know why it's semi-auto rifles they want to remove from civilian hands.  Because you can't fight a war with handguns and somebody is preparing for a war.

Swiss Arms Confiscated
 
Thursday, February 27, 2014

"Effective 10:00 pm eastern tonight the RCMP has reclassified the Swiss Arms Classic Green carbine from non-restricted (and restricted) to prohibited status. There are approximately 1,000 -1,800 of these firearms in the public. The government will not be offering compensation and will be demanding that the firearms, which cost between $3,000 - $4,000 be surrendered. The government is suggesting that all affected firearms owners contact the distributers from which the firearms were purchased for reimbursement. The NFA encourages all affected owners to contact their federal Member of Parliament. This is part of an ongoing agenda of the RCMP to progressively prohibit firearms in Canada."  (NFA is the National Firearms Association of Canada.)

 

However the government is saying that they are reviewing it.

"Roxanne James, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of Public Safety, says the government is troubled by the ruling and will review what she calls an unfortunate decision. She says a number of options are being explored."

 

However .....further down is this....

 

 

"Access-to-information records show that RCMP have an aggressive firearms reclassification agenda and that prohibitions will not stop with the Swiss Arms series rifles," the association said on its website."
