This Remington Model 742 chambered in .280 is a hunting rifle.
This Benelli R1 is a hunting rifle.
Both of those were on Trudeau's list to be banned and confiscated not even a year ago.
Your own indigenous peoples were pissed off at this.
In October of 2023 the idea was brought back and expanded.
The Canadian Government is absolutely trying to ban (not registration) an entire class of firearms that does in fact include more than a few hunting rifles. People who care are once again trying to stop it...and that's why there is an ad and that's why it's not "misinformation" no matter what you personally think.
I’m opposed to blanket gun bans, but I’m not sure I’d trust “The Gun Blog”as an unbiased provider of reliable information.
That said, the proposal that pissed me off the most was to ban all firearms that are capable of accepting a larger than five round magazine. You want to ban 10 round magazines, fine, I don’t need 10 rounds for my tikka. But banning my target rifle because ten rounders exist for it? Fuck right off.
