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 glad they’re disarming us at the same time

Government: Modern sporting arms are too dangerous for civilians to use, despite training, vetting, and licensing.

Also the government: Here is a legit assault rifle.

Lool slight correction

“Here’s a maybe legit assault rifle…..while supplies last”

Gotta be some original C7s kicking around somewhere! Maybe an FN or two?

They better be pinned to 5! Otherwise too dangerous

My regiment had FN 's in the 'vault' right up until 2003, when I released. I don't have a count, but probably enough to equip a section and roleplay 80's gear?

Anyway, every once in a while, i still think about if they still have them.

I feel it’s more likely to be a Webley 1887

From what I’ve read it’s going to be left over C7’s and C8’s after the transition to the C25 and C26 over the next couple years. It would be funnier if it was clapped out pre-WW1 guns though
