I've heard a bunch of reasons floating around, such as them wanting A cat guns to look like sporting rifles, and they want Line officers to be able to easily differentiate A from E (what if it's an E cat with a thumb hole stock?). I think the real motive was to shit can the import of modern semi auto's, but with the availability of well priced thumb hole stocks, that is null too. Remember the Gov General can now classify firearms by type as an MSSA, I would imagine that would be the next step if AR's continue to flood in. Richard Smith told me they have no intention to do this, but why would they put that into the law then? And it's not to say that somebody with an agenda will use it.
