An interesting statement regarding the classifications of some of the banned guns such as the RPA Quadloack and the AI AX. There are screenshots of the full FRT for both, all models except the 50BMG are shown as NR on the FRT, 50BMG is shown as prohib. Some folk say the action is what is mentioned in the OIC and all cartridges are banned in the action. But, someone else is saying people are not aware of the fact, that where it is listed, is what governs what cartridges and action versions are banned, would also apply to the Ruger #1 and Mauser 1908 Brazilian.
I'd like to see some lawyers chime in on this interpretation;
NO it doesn't. This is simply an example of people unfamiliar with how the law operates trying to misconstrue the plain meaning of words in order to torture the application of a section of law that is already bad enough on its own.
The law bans 10Kj+ firearms. The law then lists known models which have variants or modified versions that exceed that limit. THe FRT then sets out to specify which variants are and are not prohibited. While there may be errors, generally only firearms models chambered in cartridges known to produce in excess of 10kj ME are prohibited.
The list of firearms in the OIC is legally meaningless. It is propaganda. On the list or not, if it isn't more than 10K J then it isn't prohib under this section.
