Nanker Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 What do they define as an "assault style firearm" and do they have a listing of the ones they want to ban? If they're talking about semi-automatic firearms, they'll need to ban most everything from revolvers, to shotguns, and long rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out why it's not bursting at the seams with people fleeing the US to move there. I had an offer for internship in Canada when I was in college which could have led to post-college position and I regret not exploring it. Canada other than some of the larger cities is a lot like WNY spread out and from my experience very friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Trudeau said that while most firearms owners are law-abiding citizens, “you don’t need an AR-15 to bring down a deer.” Clearly, he's never seen me shoot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-gun-control-measures-ban-1.5552131 The term "assault-style" has no legal definition in Canada. The Firearms Act also does not currently classify firearms as "military-style" — that term would have to be defined in the new regulations. Generally speaking, an assault-style weapon is a semi-automatic firearm with an ammunition magazine, built to fire quickly. There is already a legal limit — five rounds — on the maximum size of a magazine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Interesting contrast to the demonstrations at the Michigan state capitol yesterday. People protesting a war were tear gassed and even shot and killed while doing nothing but shouting. Nowadays, we can march on the capitol with rifles equipped with high volume magazines and it’s just fine. The times we live in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a question that illustrates how little people know about firearm terminology and technology, actually. A semi-automatic is a firearm that cycles the action via energy from spent cartridge to engage the next. Revolvers aren't semi automatics in that a single action operates by the trigger pull simply dropping the hammer, and a double action revolver also indexes the chamber.

So is a semi automatic weapon considered an assault weapon. I believe that was the crux of the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Assault weapon' doesn't have any concrete definition. Semi-automatic and revolver however do. That was me. Okay, a revolver can be a rapidly fired firearm. The article didn’t specify anything other than that and “assault style ‘weapons’”. A 9mm with a magazine is considered a semi-automatic, as are most pistols today. I just stretched the technical definition. Hey, I’m still fine with my .50 cal black powder rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
