***banned 1,500 models of assault weapons,***
If it is anything like Bill Clinton’s AW ban in the US it is a joke.
They banned rifles by name. forced removal of the flash suppressor and bayonet lug (how many have been killed by flash suppressors and bayonets since 1900?)
banned the folding stock.
limited magazines to 10 rounds.
Some states even banned the pistol grip.
So the manufacturers changed the names of the rifles, and still sold them through out the “ban” as “Target rifles”. with a “fin” where the pistol grip was. easy to drill through.
Millions of 20-30 round magazines were still available, and if you knew where to look you could find a brand new 30 round magazine stamped “For Police Use Only”.
The Canadian gun bans are not cosmetic.
it is basically any semi auto rifle with a detachable magazine. Also, the SKS is also banned.
Any semi auto shotgun that can use a detachable mag is banned.
Even large caliber single shots like the Ruger 1, and double rifles are banned. It’s actually worse than Britain, now.
You don’t remember all those drive-by bayonettings in the ‘hood in the early 1990s?
Yeah, me either.
