The liberals banned several bolt action rifles as an “assault style weapons.” Including single shot rifles. If they won’t allow you to own a rifle that only has 1 bullet. Then don’t have any expectations they will allow the ownership of automatic rifles.
They were semi-auto civilian versions.
Mags are pinned to 5 rounds only, what more control can you realistically do?
I always hated this kind of political posturing, just wasteful theatrics (either wasting time/money, or used as a distraction from doing something actually useful).
Reminds me of the former president of the university I attended. He shut down the gun range after the Va. Tech shooting because "it didn't stand for our values and safety" bla bla usual nonsense. Even though this is Canada and no one in the rifle and pistol club are going on rampages.
The former mayor at the time did the same thing for the rest of the city of Toronto which no longer has any gun violence.
Literally clown show stuff. Imagine Xi Jinping juggling a bunch of balls and riding a unicycle instead of helping grow high tech industries to build a modern economy, or encouraging the adoption of green tech to improve the pollution problem. That is 90% of Canadian politics for the last 20 years.
