Hi everybody. I am currently waiting for my PAL and was planning to buy a SKS and a type 81 when I get it. Is it worth it considering that the c21 will most likely ban them? Some people that I talked to say that if I own them they can’t take it back and others say they will come and take them themselves and I won’t be able to argue. What are your opinions on this?

Amendments were pulled, unlikely they will return in this bill as they will delay it from being pushed again and will likely be ruled out of scope in the end. Always the chance that they will table another bill specifically for banning semi-auto's but nothing is certain yet and you might as well just get one and keep it safe. As the other guy said, the chance of them actually launching a successful confiscation program even if they do ban semi's is near zero. Worst case scenario is that you hold onto it until this shit government goes and we can convince a conservative one to lift the bans. Or lose it in a boat accident :)

Bit out of the loop on current events I see. Google the news on c21.

As to your other point, many police services and some provinces have said there will be no resources given to or made available to attempt any kind of confiscation not required by other actual criminal matters. Like my AR they would sit as safe queens until a new govt comes along.

c21 will most likely ban them

Those amendments were repealed like two weeks ago.
