"C-68 has little to do with gun control or crime control, but it is the first step necessary to begin the social re-engineering of Canada. "— Liberal senator Sharon Carstairs, 1996.

Well if they call it prohibited now it will be easily challenged. but still... I guess they are just doing anything to piss gun owners off after the decision to dump the registry.
They want to prohibit it, but can't. To them, they'd rather leave it unclassified. Essentially, that makes it prohibited, and doesn't leave it open to any kind of challenge. Too bad the CPC doesn't care enough to reign in the CFC/RCMP.
Unfortunately, progress is one step at a time. In Canada, we have a big uphill battle to undo the last ~20 years of needless gun grabbing, for which this is just a part of it.
You guys down there should pay really close attention to our story(if you are not already) as our coalition for gun control type sped a bunch of time talking to their foreign peers. On the taxpayer dime of course.
So every hood monkey in American Ghettos can have an AK but I'm not allowed to stimulate their economy by bringing guns out of their country to my ranch?
Wait till the UN ratifies the North American small arms treaty. Then feathers will fly.
I am a US citizen, moving to BC on a work visa. I own an FN SCAR 17s.
I am wondering what the current legal classification of this gun is in Canada so that i know whether or not i can plan to bring it with me, (obtaining a PAL and registering it)
my SCAR 17s configuration:
it is modified to have a locked, five round magazine (locked to the receiver via the so-called "bullet-button" which requires a tool to remove it from the receiver).
the original folding stock is locked so that it cannot be folded. (i also have a VLTOR stock adapter that removes all possibility of a folding stock functionality)
it does meet the Canadian length requirements for an non-restricted semi-auto rifle,
it is not listed as prohibited or restricted on the rcmp list.
is this rifle truly non-restricted in Canada?
will i be able to list it on my PAL application and register it in Canada?
-thanks for any help
The SCAR is yet to be classifiable by the RCMP. I would advise you to leave it at home? or have it seized at the border?I am a US citizen, moving to BC on a work visa. I own an FN SCAR 17s.

very good advice...
yes, after reading the breadth and depth of this thread finally,
it sounds like the SCAR is floating in an intentional bureaucratic limbo.
there is only one thing worse than waiting on the SCAR to be classified so that you can take delivery on one that you've already paid for.
and that's, already owning one, loving it, and not being able shoot it or even look at it because your job has taken you to Canada!
thinking i might set up a web cam in my safe in the US, so that i can go on line and lust over live images of my SCAR!
