I understand.
Then we have prohibited weapons. Except for a few circumstances, as you mentioned, people are not allowed to own them.
Right now, though, it's correct to say that there are many, many semi-automatic shotguns and rifles that are non-restricted. They're the lowest category of restriction. They're non-restricted, and then we have restricted and prohibited.
Proposed paragraph 1(1.2)(g) takes non-restricted firearms, a huge group of them, and jumps them, not into “restricted”, which has more oversight by police—the police are supposed to know where all the legally owned ones are—but into the “prohibited” category. Am I understanding that correctly?
With this definition of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, many firearms that are non-restricted will move to prohibited, correct?
