Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

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.

So i started wondering with guns like the carmel and mk15 coming out. Can more platforms similar release ? I was looking at the iwi arad. I was curios if that could be approved as well

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.

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

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.

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
