I guess they can just not participate?
The problem is the criminal liability if the gov doesn’t roll back the OIC’s or extend the amnesty. If I recall correctly they legally can’t just unprohibit firearms, some clause in a bill from a previous administration, they need to revoke the OIC’s starting from 2020.
So the real problem comes when those who chose not to participate face more strict consequences for not participating?
Possession of a prohibited device can legally land you in a 10 year imprisonment however, we all know our prisons are not nearly big enough to hold ~300,000 new criminals so I suspect if people are caught with these prohibited firearms they’ll strip your PAL/RPAL and throw you on probation/house-arrest.
Still, making thousands of people criminals from something they had legally purchased is not a good rep.
I’m with you. Different initial approaches aside, seems like a missed opportunity to not have a predetermined set of escalations.
