[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3053146, member: 109862"] That’s not entirely true. Now to be fair I have no idea the legality of his particular guns (mostly because I haven’t been following those threads and don’t care haha) but there’s a ridiculous list of specific banned weapons here, that they can just add things to as they please with no due process. It’s a travesty. But there is no broad sweeping universal ban on semi automatic rifles in Canada (I think that’s Australia’s problem) Case in point we have a benelli mr1 semi auto .223 at the store I work at. It’s not even restricted, anyone with a firearm licence can buy that, as is true of the benelli mr4 shotguns and other short barrel shotguns (no tax stamps or special permission beyond the basic firearm licence), and at least for now there’s a number of pistol caliber carbines that are perfectly legal and not restricted either, we sold a bunch of ruger pc9 and kriss vectors last December. More idiotic laws: all centerfire rifle magazines compatible with a semi auto are required to be pinned to 5 rounds capacity. But pistol magazines are restricted to 10 rounds. But rifles that take pistol magazines are fine to take 10 rounds haha. Hence the popularity of pistol caliber carbines. Double the legal capacity. And we actually have pistol magazines in our store that have a list of what American states they are not legal for sale in, but they’re fine here in Canada. It’s kinda weird. California and Connecticut come up a lot as places that aren’t even as free in that regard as Canada for crying out loud. More stupidity as well is the “energy ban” as in rifles that exceed 10000 joules of muzzle energy are illegal. That’s about 7300 foot pounds. The 505 Gibbs and 460 weatherby are now illegal. But anyone with a basic firearms licence can own a 12 inch barrelled 12 guage pump with a pistol grip stock so long as that’s how it left the factory. But if i sawed down an existing shotgun to anything under 18 inches at home I could go to jail for that. If we compared crimes committed with sawed off shotguns vs safari rifles I wonder how many liquor stores have been held up with each? 🤣🥴. Idiotic. [/QUOTE]
