People can be annoyed with me if they want but I don’t really get the wisdom of posting this.

An SKS is currently allowed to get through the admittedly inconsistent regulatory framework in Canada because it is a hunting rifle with a history in this country. In response people:

  • make it look as much like the vilified “assault-style” rifles that get banned
  • exploit a magazine loophole that obviously lets people workaround the intent of mag limits
  • post videos of mag dumping 10 rounds in a manner that 100% has nothing to do with hunting and very obviously mimics exactly the kind of thing Poly is trying to outlaw.

I get it. People should be able to own what they want as long as they are using it safely. But this is the type of video that will push regulators even harder to close the loopholes allowing a 10 shot, semiautomatic centrefire rifle to legally exist in Canada.

it’s too late for this argument lol, The only thing keeping the sks from being banned is the sheer amount of people who own one. Also the sks is not a hunting rifle, it was designed for war. which makes the whole deal even more laughable

Designed for war yes. But its most certainly also a great hunting rifle. The Jet engine was designed for war..... but alas look at what it's mainly used for today.

Definitely a solid hunting rifle, I typically strive to have a 4-6 moa rifle for hunting lol

We are policed to an unreasonable level, and your mad that we aren't policing ourselves even harder, so that the people unreasonably policing us don't become more unreasonable. There is no benefit to trying to appease lawmakers or polititians who already adamantly hate us; and the evidence of this is that the next time they talk about us on the news they will most certainly have a full auto AR on screen while they do it, (not OP's 10 round SKS) I would argue that as they are trying to unfairly shape the image and nature of firearms ownership in a way that benefits their agenda, it is even more important for the individual to assert their own freedom to do with their own property as they wish. Everything OP is doing in this video is safe, and legal, therefor he is in the right to do it and post it.

Yes, he has the right to do it and post it. My point is that posting this kind of video may lead to the elimination of that right.

Then they've already won.

Most gun crimes are not committed by lawful citizens so why punish those that aren't responsible for said crimes?

u/CanadaFootyFan Apr 30 '26

I’m not punishing anyone. Just trying to be strategic about things that could influence increased overreach. If you don’t think videos like this energize the anti-gun crowd, I guess we agree to disagree.

u/marston82 Apr 30 '26

The anti-gun crowd is energized by the mere existence of lawful private gun ownership in Canada. Maybe we should all voluntarily surrender our guns to appease them too? That'll get them off our backs.

When I keep in mind that the gubberment plan is to disarm the people, then nothing else needs to make sense.

The retoric about safety, the screwed up rules, the lies, and anything else a politician says, are just noise to keep us distracted from the end goal.

Meh, "Not gonna make a canoe outta me!"

Respectfully, Hiding in the shadows that we're gun owners and "playing nice" got us deep in the red with more and more things being banned.

I say at this point, the opposite is what is required, a united front of millions of people saying "Fuck you" to the gov in response to their stupid laws is what is needed. I will not comply with their Buyback bullshit and neither should anyone else.

Spoken like a true fudd. If us shooters get pigeon holed in to only acceptably using our guns for hunting and shooting paper targets at no more than 1 bullet every 3 seconds, we have already lost.

Keep it up OP, you make us proud.

Carney said that Canada is tired with participating in the lie. I thought this is what he meant

u/Bobsled282 May 01 '26

People really are missing the point of your comment...

u/CanadaFootyFan May 01 '26

It’s alright. I don’t really expect most people here to agree. But I still feel like it is a valid point.

u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 May 01 '26

I get what you are saying, but at the same time, the SKS from its factory configuration, and the incoming Makasi are both far deadlier than the 22lrs that they have already banned. And the SKS was designed as a weapon of war, not a hunting or target shooting rifle. So they have their justifications already.

I love my ARs and definitely would not of sunk the time and money into this SKS if the ARs were still good to go

You're not wrong.

u/CanadaFootyFan Apr 30 '26

Yeah, I never claimed it was good or that people shouldn’t have the right to do this sort of thing. I just question the wisdom of it. I knew it wouldn’t be a popular post.
