Explaining the gun laws in Canada and how they apply to certain firearms. There are inconsistencies that are frustrating for the average firearm owner to deal with. There are real issues that should be dealt with and laws that should be changed to protect what little rights and freedoms we have left.
Comparing the Sig M400 with the WK-180 Gen 1
Both are 5.56 semi-automatic magazine fed rifles. One is prohibited and one is non-restricted
I think the AR-15 is one of the most practical firearms ever produced and it is frustrating that people, especially law makers believe it to be more dangerous or a firearm that deserves more restriction.
Gun makers find a way to provide a suitable firearm in a high demand market.

Our laws do not forbid gun owners from using a gun to protect themselves against threats of lethal force. They forbid gun owners from owning one for the sole purpose of self defense but not from using a firearm owned for other purposes. People can and do get self defense cases dropped all the time. This is because our crown prosecution will drop cases that aren't guaranteed to win as they are afraid of their loss becoming case law. Then they quietly sweep the case under the rug so other Canadian's don't hear about the fact that people do get these cases dropped.

actually most knives are prohibited in Canada especially if you say it is for self defgense all the flick open lock blades punch knives and a bunch more are actually all prohibited weapons in Canada ands they want to make crossbows and compound bows prohibited as well so that leaves pretty much nothing to defend yourself from the government if they want to overstep their bopundries even further an unarmed populace is a docile populice. Ift the liberals and ndp had it their way we would have nothibng anfd Canada would be a socialist country in no time. tyhankfully we justr have our democratic dictatorship to deal with right now. Unless we get rid of the liberal ndp coalition in power right now we may not have a country left by 2025 at least at the rate we are going right now I wouldn't be surprised if the western provinces minus B.C voted to leave confederation and start their own country they have all the resources they need there with all the farms the oil and everything else that is there they would be a pretty wealthy country if they wanted to do something like that and the federeal government couldn't do anything about it since I am pretty sure the farmers thee are more well equipped than the Canadian armed forces since Trudeau gave most of our stocks to Ukrain already apparentlt they have enough stock left to arm the military for a grand total of 3 days if war were to happen right now so Canada is pretty much defencless to any country that wants to invade and take it over the only thing that could stop that is the fact that the U.S is right thereand wouldn't want some socialist or communist country right next door

I often state that to understand Canadian gun laws you have to understand a “Feel Good Law”. A politician needs to be re-elected and they must impress the voters by changing a law, the appearance of doing something, to fix a problem so voters “Feel Good” so they will vote for them again. But the law doesn’t do anything. It makes people feel good but doesn’t do anything. That is how to explain Canadian gun laws to a person who does not understand guns. It does nothing, but it does make people feel good. Your video made me feel good because it explains the frustration we feel as legal gun owners.

My issue with gun laws here and in the US is that the people making firearms laws know nothing at all about firearms, and they are feeding misinformation to the public. I’ve been looking at a 9mm carbine for a little while and discussing that with friends and family. When I mention that it’s semi-auto more than half said, “whoa, what do you need a machine gun for? Is that even legal?” So I explain the difference between full and semi-auto and they still ask about assault style this and that. So I try a similar discussion to this one. I show them a traditional wood stocked hunting rifle and an AR to explain that they are functionally identical. Watching the reality begin to settle in is priceless. “But… that’s stupid. Plastic is the only difference?” “That’s what we’ve been saying for decades.”

In 1919, the German government, in response to the Treaty of Versailles, ordered the German people to turn over all firearms and ammunition. Anyone found in possession of a weapon would face imprisonment and a fine. The citizens were disarmed to prevent further aggression and to prevent government upheaval during these fractious times.

I would love something fun to range, but I can also take out for Deer or Elk. 7.62x39 just has no range. It's fine to kill people but even for a deer, you need at least 1k ft/lbs and it has a deer/elk range of only 120 yards and a 7.62N is about 600yards And yes here in Saskatchewan, there is a large boar problem... they are almost open season, just not at night

5.56 is pretty much the standard for Modern Sporting rifles, back before ARs were prohibited you could get an AR 10 chambered in .308 but as it was determined to be a variant of the AR 15 it also went prohib. There are a few bull pup designs that are in .308 but they are really pricey. The AR-18 or Wk-180 is just not a “reliable” firearm yet, pistons break etc. as for the 7.62x39 literally hundreds if not thousands of big game have been taken with the SKS when it was cheap and a viable hunting option, you’re right though ballistics go to shit at the 300 meter mark. I have a Ruger Ranch in 7.62x39 that I did a video on, love that firearm, I took it hunting this year and downed a 10 point buck, didn’t go 50 feet. Being in the prairies I can understand why you’d want some legs on your cartridge, Browning BAR (.308 or 300 win mag) is a great semi for hunting but it is not a sporting rifle 🥲

If you're limited to 10 rounds, you can't do much better than an SKS. Ask the Vietnamese. If you're limited to 5 rounds, then maybe a shotgun makes more sense. The argument between AR platform vs AK or your Kodiak AR18 is a matter of personal preference. The AR here tends to be the choice of thumb over bore, anime watching, first person shooter gamer types who do mag dumps at 7M and consider "marksmanship" 50% hits on steel. But in all truth, a Lee Enfield does a lot for as old as it is. Regardless, infringement of the right to bear arms is tyranny.

The 10 rounds law is a bit weird how it’s currently applied, the SKS for instance is capped at 5 rounds because it’s Center fire and semi-automatic. At the same time an AR platform may be used with a 10 round pistol magazine or a regular AR mag capped at 5 rounds????? I do like the AR because of its modular approach and plethora of aftermarket accessories allowing the user to modify for their personal preference. I agree that a spray and pray is not the best approach and I prefer a precise platform. I own a .303 and absolutely love it (gotta love British firearms). A patrol type rifle (bolt or lever) seems to be a popular choice for Canadians because of the various nonsensical laws.

Ruger M77 Scout is a cheaper way to have a decent "patrol" rifle out of the box. Not as fast as an Enfield but still quite effective. As far as semi-autos are concerned, if you're capped at 5 rounds then a shotgun might be your best bet. Although you all did have VZ58s "non-restricted" for a while and I believe they had 10 round "pistol mags" available.

All of these firearms laws have no base to them, they are a gross over step of civil liberties and contradict themselves heavily. Thankfully there are still a few "tactical" semi auto 5.56's we can own but the markets limited. The keltec PLR16 is alright but has its own shortcomings same with the RDB. Most if not all the AR180B clones are a burning pile of trash and are ridiculously expensive and the few that are decent such as the Crusader templar Gen 2 or the Sterling R18 MK2 are overpriced as hell. The Benelli MR1 is alright but has some reliability issues along with pricing, scarcity and lack of mod options. The Raven Platinum is a good rifle but is rather scarce and the resell price is atrocious for what the rifle is, thankfully the company is taking some steps to make a lower cost version of the rifle at cost of cutting out features. The Macabee SLR and ATRS series of rifles are in a legal gray zone cause of the 2020 bans and are generally hard to find and expensive. The T97 (any gen) is no longer imported and the price of a cheap CCP made bullpup are astronomically high. CZ brens are nice but also pricey and good luck finding a NR Bren under 4000. and that leaves us with the last few guns such as the OG AR180B Rifles, the B&T APC Series, the Bushmaster ACR, the Valmet M76, Famae SG543 and all of these guns have issues, they are all expensive as hell the lowest being 3000 if your lucky, they are generally rare as hell, parts can be difficult to find and some rifles like the Famae and Valmet have Mags that are difficult to find and expensive. Im sure there are some guns i missed like K&M M17S or some other rifles that are unique on Gunpost, but these rifles generally suffer from one or more of the same issues as the other guns; quality, cost, availability, parts availability, modability etc. In short the AR really was the affordable do all for canadian shooters, but we lost that right by letting a drama teacher run the Government.

That’s a very complicated issue. The liberal government put out the OIC to ban the AR-15 among other “safety concern firearms” before they had a system in place to “confiscate” them. No company is willing to wade through that red tape and backlash so they stay with the owners until it’s hopefully repealed or they figure it out. 🤷‍♂️

SHHHHHH dont let them know cause next they'll come after AR180 based guns. What really gets me is they go on and on about how powerful the .223/5.56 round is, completely neglecting the fact that most hunting cartridges are more powerful, moving faster and are heavier, not even realizing that its considered a varmint round. I'm no expert or anything but the .223 is just a slightly heavier round traveling much faster is it not? I'm not giving my guns up. Not happening, I went through the courses, I paid the money, I had the background checks, I got both my PAL and Restricted PAL and I'll be damned if I let the left make us criminals for enjoying something that should be a god given right. Not everyone has the advantage of living in a city where cops are 10 minutes away. I hope to god that we can get Pierre in there and have the CCFR or people like you and me convince them that it is a miscarriage of justice to punish the public for the crimes of the mentally ill. I'm fine with having to do the courses, I'm fine with the background checks but we need to stop this nonsense that people shouldn't be able to own guns like the AR15 platform, the FN SCAR, ACR, Robinson Arms XCR, or any other black or FDE rifle made in the last 30 years just because you think they could cause damage. Guess what? If I wanted to cause massive damage and hurt a lot of people guns wouldn't be the way I would do it. And for the record I would never ever do anything like that but just so people can get in through there head there are far easier ways to create something that could cause mass destruction and death than an AR with 5 rounds in it. And thats another thing, the whole 5 round limit is total bullshit. I should be allowed to stick as many rounds as I want in my mags. The only reason these laws are being put in place is so that they can start to make and put in the real laws that are going to fuck over Canadians to benefit the upper-class and Trudeau's family, or so they can fun the proxy war going on in Ukraine so they can try and overthrow and destabilize Russia indirectly all while we suffer gas prices, food prices, home prices and job wages that are simply unsustainable and guess what? There aint a fuckin thing you will be able to do about it, you try to protest they will arrest you and throw you in jail, strip you of your right to vote so that they can keep the people they want it. How you going to stop it? They are the ones with the military, they have the body guards with full auto ARs and submachine guns, they are the ones with the ability to eradicate dissent by any means necessary. A government disarming its population is an extremely bad sign of what is to come if Trudeau or the Liberals period are allowed to rule over Canadians like they have been. Personally I think we should break ties to the Britain and make our own independence and make damn sure we have a 2nd amendment so we can have the freedoms we deserve and the ability to fight against tyranny. But that's just my opinion. Either way, for god sakes just leave gun owners alone. ARs are used for hunting, I will be using my Cru Arms Temp 556 for hunting, plinking and sport shooting. And of course home defense cause ain't no way someones gonna come into my house and take the stuff I've sacrificed the most important thing in my life for, time!

It could be used for that purpose you are right however, there are many other videos with way more credible than I that make the same point. The firearms are similar but different AR-15 platform vs AR-18. I was aware that I was treading on material that some would object to and I’m okay with that, my aim was to point out the futility of current government current attempts to control crime while basing their laws on looks and feels. Most of us can see the problem and how to fix it, sadly it continues as do the attempts to ban all firearms (eventually). I know what you’re saying and yes it is risky.

In Australia they are banning guns because they look dangerous eg look like an AR even if it's a bolt action. Too bad alot of target rifles have an AR style to them nowadays because that type of ergonomics and rifle chassis (most allow for a floating barrel.
