His name is Murray Smith. The government's top 'expert' on firearms. Ex RCMP.
But it is the whole No 1 family, right now, though. The problem being is that one particular cartridge is not specified in the amendment. The list simply says Ruger No. 1 is prohibited. Not the Ruger No. 1 chambered on .458 African is prohibited. The Crown won't make that distinction, if you are using a No 1 chambered on .300 Win Mag. Their lack of firearms knowledge and their rush to push an unvetted list has produced lots of confusion. It puts many firearms and owners unnecessarily at risk of having to spend thousands of dollars to fight a court battle against an overzealous Crown who is following a flawed list and definition. Once again, this vindictive government have almost succeeded in making many gun owners criminals over a piece of paper, lousy research and total ignorance of firearms. Meanwhile, the firearms owners did everything to follow the law and do what they were told to do to enjoy their sport, but are now backed up to the wall, again, through zero fault of their own. Watching, in some cases, tens of thousands of dollars of their personal private property just disappear from existence with zero recourse or compensation.
Not to mention the few Canadian Firearm manufacturers including Colt Canada who designed got approval from the Federal government, then built and sold these firearms only to be told a couple years later nope we banned your fully approved firearm type. The feds have used the term "circumvented" when talking around these manufactures. Who closely worked with the RCMP Firearms Group to ensure they complied with Canadian Firearms Laws so they could provide a safe reliable product for Canadian Law abiding Firearm Sport and Hunting shooters. All that money, all that R&D down the drain after a couple of years. It is sickening to see this for the family's of those companies and also the people who bought these firearms with the understanding they were not going to be confiscated under lawful use.
Can we get one of these in .22 Guage?
I saw that somewhere too - what fucking idiot said that?
I knew Murray when he was still in the RCMP.

No more than the NS massacre did. This is not Liberal ideology. This is a campaign stunt. Only votes matter and gun bans are an easy path to urban votes.Not sure if this factors into the gun grab but I can’t imagine it doesn’t.
Armed man who broke into Trudeau residence charged with threatening to kill or injure PM | Canada | The Guardian
Corey Hurren, 46, was carrying multiple firearms, police say, when he allegedly crashed his truck through the gate on the grounds where Trudeau lives
Then I will leave it to your imagination what I think he's expert at.
I'm not so much upset at the elected officials for this. They are gonna do what they are gonna do but......Since the original list came out, there has been accusations that it wasn't vetted, it wasn't researched and that it was mostly cut and paste from an algorithm result.
These two firearms have been on the list since April 2020, almost three years ago, and it hasn't been corrected. Even though it has been brought to their attention more than once. They obviously are ignoring us and think they know better..

The expert that put these firearms on there never even checked their own work or insured the list was correct. Just banning stuff willy nilly.
There is no way possible that these firearms would harm anyone.
Simply because they are not firearms.
They are websites. They banned two websites as firearms, FFS.
