I'd like to propose the following draft legislation for consideration by Parliament, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. state legislatures. I think it is a common-sense law that, with a minimum constriction on the rights of individuals, will promote gun safety for the benefit of all:

It is not a law.

Firearms Survey: Trudeau's Gun Grab Primarily Affects Hunters, Sports Shooters




Doing what the Liberals didn't: OFAH analyzed the primary uses of firearms caught in Trudeau's gun grab. Hint: it wasn't crime.
An email to supporters, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters announced the early results of their online survey of the firearms community, the first study of its kind.
The OFAH survey launched in June in response to the Liberal's May 1 prohibition by reclassification of over 1500 models of dozens of popular Canadian shotguns and rifles.
The survey examined primary use and estimated value of each rifle and shotgun moved to the prohibited category.
According to the OFAH:
“The results of this preliminary report are intended to provide a qualitative list of previously non-restricted firearms to show the categorial uses by Canadians, but is not able to quantify how many people own or use these firearms, the frequency of uses, or the collective financial value of the firearms being prohibited."
“Survey respondents listed 53 (82.8%) of the 64 firearms as used for hunting prior to prohibition, with 44 (68.8%) of them having hunting reported as the primary use. Not surprisingly, the percentage of firearms having shooting sports (competition, target shooting/plinking, trap and skeet) identified as a use was even higher at 92.2% (81.3% as a primary use).”

Remember, fellow peasants, the AR 15 is absolutely useless as a hunting rifle.




Seems perfect for this kind of hunting. Suppressed too! On farmland, that makes perfect sense. Illegal in Canada, all of it, as our leaders are morons.

Pretty much, but we do have a drama expert on board. :)

.243 is the smallest cartridge allowed in Canada. Since the ar15 is a .223 that makes it illegal for hunting. Any .223 is illegal for hunting,not just the ar15, and you know that.

No, they are not illegal for hunting in Canada. I have a Remington Model 7 in .223 Remington which I carry all the time in the woods. In fact, in New Brunswick, outside of deer, bear and moose season, the only rifles you are allowed to carry are rifles under .23 caliber. In fact, I think you are talking specifically about big game hunting, as in NB. Otherwise, as far as I know, the .223 is legal in every province, just not for large game.

.270 makes a nice deer rifle. I've used .308 winchester pretty much my whole life. 120grain for deer. 180 grain for elk.

I've hunted deer with 6.5 Creedmor. Nice little cartridge, faster than hell, lotta punch for its size. But I don't consider it enough of an advance on the .308 to justify the cost.

Sorry, yes, big game hunting.

New York State taking the NRA to court to end their existence.

About time.

There is what is called a suspicious outlier in the ownership graph.

Can anyone guess who it is...?
