  1. What other gun - they are moving towards total ban.

  2. Here they are going after stereotypical shotgun - like kids would draw, double barrel. Cannot get more basic than that in hunting. This is why this is seen as unexplainable move. I mean its not even pump action, not even bolt -- its more basic. Also from 1800s.

  3. Almost all rifles in Canada were related to or designed for war.

  4. Umm, ban Walmart and 99% of phones then. And its not a Russian rifle - its Soviet - which means it includes Ukraine. You want to ban rifle from Ukraine?

  5.  @mateoromeo7032  In short order they will remove even more rifles - after all who needs to hunt - you can just go to the store and buy meat, right? There is no "human right" to plinking or target shooting. So one can simply ban all non rim fire rifles. Then in few years even rim fire. As to people up north that need a rifle to protect vs. polar bear or something - they are so niche that I guess they simply will have to go back to what pp did before firearms. Wait till there is a law about assault bows. And too dangerous arrows or something. Its like banning cars - there is no need for them, when you think about it - people were fine before cars were a thing. So yeah, when you think about it almost everything can be said to be "non essential". The problem with semis and hunting or plinking is that the argument they are "not needed" is not the same as "not of much use". For full auto the main use is showing off and spray and pray + trench/ room clearing. There is not much use case in hunting - no one every hunted on full auto. However, semi auto use is quite widespread and is of utility. Even in military almost all fire is semi auto. Incidentally this is why the name of "assault" rifle is derived from - they were used to "assault" enemy position - see note about trench clearing (or room clearing etc.). Clearly there is little utility in civilian world - not at all the same for semi auto.

  7. I would be shocked if the family of murdered police officer wanted to ban SKS - they are usually conservative, know their guns and thus not totally brain dead. This is the most popular rifle in Canada. Obviously some crime with it will happen. Its like banning most popular car -- b/c lots of accidents happen with its involvement. So far no info whatever that particular SKS was even legal - a lot of them are not legally owned but government does not seem to care about illegal firearms.

  8. Problem is that these were for the most part already banned ;) They are now banning these that shoot way less ;) Or even single shot.

  9.  @markk3948  Yeah but you need rare rifle that takes pistol magazines. I never actually saw one myself - they are not common at all.
