Coles notes, the most common ones on the list are: M1 Carbines and their variants, Swedish AG-42s and their variants, Czech VZ 52 and 52/57, Russian SVT 38/40.

Hmm. No SKS though. Curious.

Henry Homesteader slipped through the cracks again as well, has to be pretty much the last PCC standing

Yeah, I was thinking of picking one up, to replace my now illegal Ruger PC Carbine, but I figure it's inevitable it gets banned at some point. Someone probably saw Henry and went "lever gun". That's how mentally deficient that crowd is.

Shush.

I thought about it, but I think I'd rather have a 13 or 16 inch lever gun in .357 if I was going to spend that money

 

[Halifax Tar]

Fuckers. That's all I got.

I find it increasingly difficult to gin up much enthusiasm for this country.

Playing to the Toronto area as per normal. Who have immigrants that shoot at each other.

Makes perfect sense.

According to the latest news, Trump is interested in redrawing our borders and annexing Southern Ontario. I'm good with the Americans taking Toronto, they can have it.

 

[Humphrey Bogart]

Fuckers. That's all I got.

You'll note that not a single firearm has been actually confiscated by the Government. A meaningless piece of paper is all this is

It is hard to express how disheartening these OIC bans are. It is just so arbitrary and really makes it hard to plan or enjoy the hobby. Yesterday morning there was no indication that those would be banned, today they are prohibited.

I would rather them just change the overall law than OIC bans as at least then it’s clear what is banned or not. Now I have to cross reference a list of over 2000 firearms on top of the standard classification restrictions to figure out what is what.

It isn’t meaningless. Even if the OICs are later overturned this is still years of usage lost, opportunities to sell or acquire lost.

That's the point. They want to destroy the hobby and the industry.

As long as manufactures continue to make guns that try to satisfy any new laws, they'll continue to confiscate them. They just wait until we all go buy the new approved model. When everyone has the new prohibition rule free firearm, then they'll ban it.

Not just fuckers, but spiteful fuckers.

The good news, most long guns, in hands of the population are unregistered and of unknown ownership to the feds.

I'm inherently cheap - that's why I liked the Ruger -9mm is fun and inexpensive for plinking, and being as my pistols are predominantly 9mm, the PC Carbine just worked nicely as an adjunct.

not really, can't go to the range anymore. Almost every story about a shooting involves an unregistered weapon that was smuggled across the border

guys come over to shoot. first thing we have to figure out is whether the rifle is illegal of course by that point its too late and you just have to hope you dont get caught

Liberal "Patriotis" love this one trick

 

[Harris]

Hmm. No SKS though. Curious.

Do the Native Canadians not use the SKS extensively? Wouldn't want to open that can of worms I suspect.

That's exactly why it isn't banned.
