My bad, it wasn't CSSA. It was PolySouvient themselves.

I'm puzzled by the Olympic Shooter "loophole." What is it? I haven't seen hordes of "Olympic shooters" buying anything really.

You weren't expecting our firearms rules to be based around sound reasoning, logic and facts were you ?

An Olympic shooter can keep and use the pistol of their discipline.
But you can’t have a pistol to practice becoming an olympic shooter.

Sorry guys...my mental disability of assuming the primacy of evidence-based and reasoned policy is causing unnecessary army.ca traffic.

The "Olympic Loophole" was intended to show that the Liberals has "listened" to the sport shooting community and were being benevolent and considerate of legal handgun sport shooters. The unstated intent was to starve international shooting sports of new talent as the Liberals saw no need for Canada to compete in such barbaric activities.
IPSC Canada had tried to get their sport included in the "loophole". One range in BC announced that IPSC could become "the gateway to legal handgun ownership in Canada". Shortly thereafter the anti-gun docs, Poly and Coalition for Gun Control did a great job of painting IPSC shooters as mass killers in practice before SECU and the committee vote to include IPSC in the "loophole" was defeated by one vote, the Liberal chair.
To my knowledge, so far, there have been no exemptions granted under 97.1(b) as the intent was that the criteria would be so restrictive as to be impossible to meet. And, it's worked.

Nail guns run by air or battery?
