Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

Needs to hit some specific hoops to work. Designed before 2023( I think) and based on something that we already have. I wish we could get a modern SKS in 555 I think that would sell really well here.

[u/Benefit_Waste → u/JaxIsLoud]

so in theory. Any firearm that was made pre 2023 that has an "assault style" design could be legal again

[u/JaxIsLoud → u/Benefit_Waste]

Like I said it's gotta hit some hoops to be approved. The makasi and that other gun are in this magic Goldilocks area. I hope more come. I'd really like to see a good semi PCC hit the market. Give us another option than the Henry homesteader.

[u/Benefit_Waste → u/JaxIsLoud]

Same here. Always wanted to shoot and feel a PCC. Thought about getting the FX9 before the bans. Dream gun of mine to own.

[u/JaxIsLoud → u/Benefit_Waste]

I wanted the sterling r9. Glad I didn't waste money on it. To sit in my safe. Got banned right before I got my pal. I'm getting a makasi tho. Fuck it.

[u/strickenchips → u/JaxIsLoud]

We need the Derya ZY9

[u/JaxIsLoud → u/strickenchips]

I would 100% buy one. Idk why we can't have it

[u/CryptidWorks → u/JaxIsLoud]

I too would buy one. As for why, they seem to have banned almost every semi PCC for reasons they never actually bothered to disclose, and absolutely decimated Canadian sport shooting competitions when they did it.

[u/strickenchips → u/CryptidWorks]

Have anymore bans occurred since the Sterling R9?

[u/CryptidWorks → u/strickenchips]

Iirc the ban the sterling was part of also took out things like the folding backpacker carbines (sub2000, Smith and Wesson M&P) and most other 9mm PCCs. To my knowledge the Homesteader is the only commonly available semi still legal, barring some now discontinued and very rare rifles (Marlin Camp Carbine, for example.)

It's pretty much only the homesteader for new stuff.

[u/JaxIsLoud → u/[deleted]]

This is why I think a manufacturer should make a modern 556 SKS style semi auto. Or one that takes ak mags out of the box. Or a PCC version .take what we have and just make new shit that works with the same action.

[u/InitialAd4125 → u/JaxIsLoud]

22lr sks when?

[u/JaxIsLoud → u/InitialAd4125]

I was thinking more 45, 9mm,357/38, but yea sureore options would be great

[u/InitialAd4125 → u/JaxIsLoud]

22lr mosins and aks exist it is time for the sks to have one.

[u/DJ_Necrophilia → u/InitialAd4125]

Ive been casually designing one for the last couple of years.

Design is about 60% complete, but i dont have the time or willpower at the moment to finish the tolerancing.

Its not a feasible project once you add in tooling costs and getting a business license, but its a fun thought experiment

[u/Reasonable_Hall2346 → u/JaxIsLoud]

Any new design must use a proprietary mags with a total capacity of 5. Otherwise it must have been designed prior to the cutoff date.
