Bye Bye semi automatic rifles

[dilly]

Thanks Rick. I wasn’t trying to be a smartarse, just wondering if there was a lawyer who is officially interpreting it.

Trimmer.

There should be a registry just like a vehicle , pet or a fish hut. Maybe a small fee to cover the cost. The law shouldn't take advantage of it that's all.

As it stands now most would be able to get a gun for what ever reason without a license faster than going the legal way. That's the problem. As the population grows so will the crimes. Legal guns are not the problem it's the illegal ones that are the problem it's the illegal ones out doing the killings. Law abiding citizens are not the problem law abiding citizens guns are the problem.

More crossbow attacks than AR attacks in Canada. Problem? Yes but we can't blame the tools used from some wing nut.

As we saw with the nova Scotia incident a good chunk of his artillery was criminal activity came from another country illegally.

I believe they talked about the clip and mag during the first round of talks . If it can accept a mag it could make the list. Again it would already be illegal to own extended mags in Canada.

Dilly….. no worries..
Fishfood…. generally that was the case. Semis were limited to 5. However, there were a few, the Benelli MR1, for one, that would accept a 10 round LAR pistol mag, and be legal. They obviously closed up that loophole. I almost bought one for yotes but I figured the lyin’ Libranos would outlaw semis…..

Sam Menard;1206315]Gilroy,
"Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I respect your right to express yours. I’m curious though, are you not concerned about the latest round of prohibition? Do you think that the government will stop their agenda with semi-autos or will they continue until all firearms are banned? At what point do you say enough?[

Hi Sam,

No I am not worried in the least the Liberals will not ban all guns as that would be a politically stupid move IMHO. They will walk the line between keeping MOST hunters happy and keeping the general population happy.

I’m thinking my ruger 243 bolt trap door is gone my sako bolt 270 trap door is gone sks is gone my Winchester bolt 22-250 trap door is ok

My Uncle (85) and my cousin have many regular old fire arms that make that list.

Funny thing is neither have the internet and will never know. Not a single CO out that way will ever enforce it.

[rick_iles]

The SKS is listed. The bolts should be ok as they don’t have a detachable mag, and are not semi’s. …….so far !!

Interesting take however I don’t share your confidence. I am really not surprised with banning all semi-autos as, basically, the only difference between all of them is their appearance. IMO the semi-auto ban wasn’t a last minute add-on, but was a calculated move that had been in the drawer all along . There is a strategy at play here and once the public realizes that gun crimes keep happening, the government will move on to the next round of prohibition… it’s not going to stop. It’s about numbers and physical evidence e.g. “The government of Canada prohibited, and thereby removed 50,000, firearms that “could” have ended up in the hands of a criminal.” This statement is easy to understand, whereas “The government of Canada is spending $50million on programs to reduce gang violence and on mental health problems” is less tangible and results are difficult to illustrate. Have you noticed that when the police make a big seizure they show photos of the guns, money, and drugs seized? It’s about shock and awe and photos easily tell a story.

Would still like to know Gilroy, so you support this ban? If so, is it because you think it will help prevent gun violence, or is it because it’s from the liberals?
