This took me by surprise:

The Regulations also prescribe the upper receivers
of M16, AR-10, AR-15 and M4 pattern firearms to be prohibited devices in order to ensure that these firearms cannot easily be used with illicitly manufactured or acquired
lower receivers. The M16, AR-10, AR-15 and M4 firearms
are modular firearms consisting of the lower receiver
assembly, which is the component bearing the serial number and subject to registration and that is now prohibited;
and the upper receiver assembly, which is the pressurebearing component and has not previously been regulated. An owner could possess two or more upper receiver
assemblies, which can be mounted and dismounted on a
lower receiver assembly according to the needs of the
occasion. If upper receivers were not also prohibited,
there would be an important public safety risk that the
upper receiver assemblies would be mated with an illegal
lower receiver (i.e. smuggled, made from a receiver blank,
or manufactured by 3D printing to supply the illegal market) thus creating unmarked untraceable M16, AR-10,
AR-15 or M4 firearms, commonly known as “ghost guns.”
Prohibiting the upper receiver of these rifles will reduce
the quantities in circulation and render it much more difficult to illicitly fabricate working firearms.

Le Règlement prévoit aussi que les carcasses supérieures
des armes à feu des modèles M16, AR-10, AR-15 et M4
sont des dispositifs prohibés afin de veiller à ce que ces
armes à feu ne puissent être facilement utilisées avec des
carcasses inférieures fabriquées ou acquises illicitement.
Les armes à feu des modèles M16, AR-10, AR-15 et M4 sont
des armes à feu modulaires composées de l’assemblage de
la carcasse inférieure, qui est la composante portant le
numéro de série faisant l’objet de l’enregistrement, qui est
maintenant prohibée; l’assemblage de la carcasse supé-
rieure, la composante sous pression, n’avait pas été réglementé auparavant. Un propriétaire peut posséder deux ou
plusieurs assemblages de carcasse supérieure qui peuvent
être montés et démontés sur un assemblage de carcasse
inférieure selon les besoins. Si les carcasses supérieures
ne sont pas aussi des dispositifs prohibés, il existerait un
important risque pour la sécurité publique du fait que des
assemblages de carcasse supérieure seraient couplés à une
carcasse inférieure illégale (c.-à-d. passées en contrebande, fabriquées à partir d’une carcasse inachevée, ou
fabriquées par impression 3d pour approvisionner le marché illicite), créant ainsi des armes à feu des modèles M16,
AR-10, AR-15 ou M4 , non marquées et intraçables, communément appelées « armes fantômes ». Le fait de pré-
voir que la carcasse supérieure constitue un dispositif prohibé permettra d’en réduire les quantités en circulation et
de rendre beaucoup plus difficile la fabrication illicite
d’armes à feu qui fonctionnent.

I'm guessing the banned component will be the aluminum forged upper. I can't see how they can ban barrels as they are interchangeable between different platforms. Our horse overlords will make it up as they go along until every pin and screw gets prohibited.
 
They will begin to ban car, motorcycle and boat parts next! Bunch of egotistical power hungry idiots.

It will be incremental and go something like this (climate change will play a part of course):

"No one needs a truck - they cause a LOT of pollution compared to a car - banned"

Joe average buys a car - fast forward x amount of years:

"No one needs a car - they cause an awful lot of pollution compared to an electric car - banned"

Joe average cant afford an electric car but Trudeau and his type can.......

I wonder if those folks that think giving Government so much power will think its still a good idea when they get around to banning something that they DO care about (and they will - sooner or later).

Having said that, the intelligence level of the average voter who voted for Trudeau twice suggests they may be too stupid to even realize.

How do they know its not a AR-14 upper ? They are exactly the same :rolleyes:

There are small tell tale signs if you look close enough - AR-14 has no safety, double sized charging handle for even faster / easier loading, magwell thats double the size to accommodate the 60 - 100 round 12 gauge mags, extra rails for the heat seeking attachments etc etc.

Those government folks will know straight away.

Don't forget the fully semi automatic selector switch and trigger group.

No they wont. The general public is aware of and accepts the utility of those objects.

But they will come for other semi autos next, unless the un owning public accepts that the utility of a firearm is in saving lives, not hunting or sport.

Then the gun owning public can convince the general public that firearms are a life saving device just like hand sanitizer and face masks. Only when the canadian public acceots that banning firearms to save lives is a ludicrous, preposterous and offensive proposition will we be free of this nonsense.
 
I understand that uppers are now prohibited, but specifically a prohibited device. Is there any laws or regulations that governs the storage(think trigger/cable lock) or transportation of these prohibited devices?
