The question wasn’t whether the .460 can be used to hunt larger critters. Of course it can. The question was whether anyone in Canada needs a 50 caliber rifle (or a .460) to hunt animals in this country. That’s an entirely different question. And I suggested that there must many permitted long guns that will allow a hunter to safely and ethically hunt any animal in Canada. Is that the case?
You’re missing the forest for the trees. These firearms are now illegal under the guise of public safety, yet there is no evidence to support it.
But if you are a police officer or someone responsible for sending a police officer out in the field to deal with gangs in Surrey or a wingnut in Nova Scotia would you want to do everything you can to prevent as many guns with the high caliber and the ability to put a large magazine in it, from being out there?
