Does this mean what I think it does? New FRT for the FGC9, a 3d printed 9mm PCC.

I distinctly remember ten years ago reading that it was legal to make a firearm for personal use. I don’t believe a law came into effect forbidding this, so why is it now illegal?

RCMP said they changed their minds and no you can't manufacture your own firearms.

What if you manufactured one before they changed their mind?

If it's registered as a restricted, then it's legal (and restricted)

If not, then it's illegal.

I think the new law now prohibits possession of any unlawfully manufactured firearm. So while the firearm itself may be restricted or non-restricted, possession of it is a separate offense. I don't see anything in the wording that specifically grandfathers old homemades.
