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?

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.
