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.

Had one sold it… Or did I? Na I sold it. Its a milsurp rifle. Much like the Lee enfield or mosin. The one reason people like it is because it’s semi auto centre fire and for a long time it was cheap as shit. I can guarantee you that the hype for them in Canada would decline if all the OIC guns were legal again.

Most definitely.

I only have one…but I’ve might’ve sold it to Jim at the marina down the road.

I really only want two, a shooter that I can drop into a hush holster (my current is a non parts matching rifle that came in the ATI stock, part way restored currently), and the other perfectly preserved because I think the history of the rifle is neat.

Same with a Garand, though I would only preserve a beaut like that.
