Some of that stuff looks illegal, but you are allowed to have long guns in Canada right?
How can the government confiscate your long gun if you have a PAL and are not using it?

As you mention, 'some of the stuff looks illegal'. If the RCMP catch you with a cache of weapons that include some illegal things, they aren't just going to sort through and pick out the naughty bits and let you keep the rest. They're going to confiscate everything, arrest you, and probably make it very difficult for you to legally own firearms again in your life. It's also been reported that this was part of a larger investigation. If there was credible evidence that there was a plan to use those firearms against police or civilians, that also would be reason enough for the RCMP to confisicate them.
