Getting 'excited' doesn't get anyone anywhere terribly quickly or efficiently.

I verified earlier today with the CFC that there was quite a bit of confusion on the M4-177 when it was coming to market- many people within the RCMP wanted to call it "Restricted" and initially it was- then someone decided to do a detailed analysis and it was apparently re-determined to be "non-restricted". Perhaps a bit more consistency would help avoid such confusion for everyone in future.

The thing to keep in mind in Canada is that until something is challenged in a court, the Legislated holder of an enforcement policy can make up the regulations for enforcement any way they like. Just stating something- i.e. "that isn't illegal" or what-not, is fairly irrelevant unless you want to be the one to spend time in court.
