The proposed Canadian ban has not been finalized. But it mainly applies to assault rifles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-politics-guns-idUSKBN22C3NS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a common misconception. Assault rifle refers to a firearm that (among other things) has selective fire ie user control over rate of fire for semi automatic, burst, or full automatic. They're illegal to purchase and pretty much illegal to own...those guns are strictly military weaponry, and although they may have civilian variants that do not have selective fire those are what people are referring to when they talk about 'assault weapons' primarily: semi automatic military-styled firearms, usually rifles, without selective fire.

BringBackFergy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 16 hours ago, GoBills808 said: 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.

I just think it's high time that we (as a nation) take a step back and understand how different the world was when it was written. It is absolutely silly to let this thing ride for hundreds of years without catching it up to modern times. It's dangerous and it's irresponsible. And it's costing lives. My hat's of to Canada for saying, "enough is enough." The same needs to be done, here. There is no practical need, outside of law enforcement or military, for a semi-automatic firearm of any kind. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Murica Hey MiH, I noticed your negative reaction to my post referencing Scalia’s majority opinion in Heller. Perhaps I should add some context as that opinion was murky in many ways. I was specifically referring to this quote from his opinion: Quote "...like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited." It is "not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose." Regarding those that descended on the Michigan statehouse, I disagree that they had a “right” to carry semi-automatic rifles with high volume magazines to that assembly and I suspect Scalia might agree. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
