There's no loophole. It just hasn't been banned. That makes it sound like you have to Pat your head and rub your belly and get a rifle like fuck

To them, the fact that guns are legal is considered a "loophole". They most famously like to complain that compliance with the stupid laws that they help create is somehow also a "loophole".

They missed the loophole that one person was killed by a police gun which is not covered by the Firearms Act.

Ban assault style police. Only unarmed bike cops allowed.

They are constantly pushing this false narrative that new SKS rifles are being designed and built

That’s just intentional ignorance about firearms. 

I think to them the SKS is a “loophole” because the government promised them that all “assault style weapons” would be banned and yet it’s still here.

Yeah if 5 people were killed with a pinned mag SKS they might have had somewhat of an argument, the same amount of damage in this incident could have been caused by a single shot break action rifle or shotgun.

While I think this event is a tragedy no matter what, I honestly think he likely would have done far more damage if the attack was done with a vehicle, like the ramming attack in Vancouver a couple years back that killed 11 or 12 people. Vehicles are far more deadly in Canada than firearms are (not advocating for vehicle bans dont worry,  just making ghe point that we all know already!)

Even the amount of rounds fired in the incident doesn't make sense unless we factor in the the police mag dumping.

Or a knife. Or a hammer. Or a brick. Or a lamp. Or a paperweight.

Poly reaching hard on this one.

The same amount of damage could be done by the doohickey 9000 that some NEET used to merk Shinzo Abe

Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons made a video on this. He talks about new variants of the SKS being designed in Canada to make it function the same as an AR-15. In Ian's words, he specifically calls the SKS a loophole gun in Canada. Ian McCollum is a well known and highly respected weapons expert. So when he says that Canada has a SKS loophole, I believe him.

Not sure about you, but my PAL course consisted of only these two steps. If you were unable to pat your head and rub your belly in opposite directions you did not pass.

I'm genuinely concerned that you are allowed to possess firearms.

Me? That’s insanity, I’m always above the law requirements, sounds like you’re just a troll

they use loophole because canadians pretend we dont like america but love to import their cultural zeitgeist and terminology. the word loophole gets thrown around a lot in american gun control talk and the anti-gun groups want to connect gun owners here to american ones as much as possible to try and make some kind of negative inference. so thats why they love using terminology from the american gun control debate here. they want terminally online people to make the subconscious connection in their head.

The loophole is that while the buyback is under way the SKS remains legal and therefore people use their 40 pieces of silver to buy an SKS.
