No, the OIC is entirely the wrong mechanism for this and they're trying to use one phrase "in the opinion of" to push a political and idealogical agenda, which you so clearly agree with, to dispossess millions of Canadians of their rightfully acquired property under the pretence of "security for all Canadians", when there is no proof that this will make a single person safer or save a single life.
I could throw all sorts of stats your way but the facts clearly don't matter.
It is very clearly stated in the rest of the firerarms act that only legislation can explicitly make firearms prohibited or restricted, and OIC's are supposed to be used for minor administrative adjustments that were missed by legislation.
Are you telling me that something that's this disruptive, this expensive (probably going to cost $3-5 billion to administer, execute, and confiscate from legal gun owners) is not supposed to be legislated??
