yes, but you know how the media get vapor locked over the most minor thing
Yeah, I know. Political parties too.
The Longgun Registry died in Canada recently (I'm not getting political, I promise!), but one party wanted to have "Sniper Rifles" still included as list items. Which included such items like the Ruger Mini-14, which, while accurate, is not designed for sniper duties unless modified to do so. And, hell, there are Sniper Variants of the SMLE and Mauser Gewehr 98 and Karabiner 98K that have been owned by Canadians since the end of WWI/WWII. Some of the items (.50 BMG) make sense, but they wanted too many legit hunting rifles added that it died due to the majority 'Tory government.
I will not get political, I will not political, I will not... I'm going to have a nap now.
