R9 Prohibited FRT

[bigbobmk2]

Oh no the RCMP are saving Canadians from wasting their money on Turkish pot metal garbage

 

[b-wingpilot]

At the 3:00 minute mark the genius himself called the R9 a shrunk down version on the Mk18. Once the RCMP determined the R18 is an AR180b variant, then of course they would determine the R9 is also a prohib variant, based on what the “designer” said himself. This should have been no surprise…

The CPC needs to disband the CFP.

Good thing the FART is not law

No one says it is law. What the FRT is though is a search engine for law enforcement to see the legal status of a rifle.

 

[FatCatsDad]

I feel bad for all the current owners that dropped their hard earned money on these guns.

 

[Sniffer]

And the assault on legal firearms owners continues despite the change in "Management".

Not surprised that this has been banned when you know the story since May 2020. I have lost all faith in Canada after the most recent Federal election.

 

[Sniffer]

Unfortunately, dam near everyone is complying. I don't see people using, selling or buying anything the government has arbitrarily banned. I post a wtb, it gets removed, I post something for sale, I get a temp ban and it gets removed. Canadians will roll tf over like they always do.

Or, worse still, keep voting Liberal.

That addiction is impossible to break it seems and I cannot understand why.

I feel bad for all gun owners that have been living through this madness for the last several years

 

[Joel]

Pretty much any centerfire ever capable of holding a detachable mag with capacity of over 5 rounds is or will be axed

Except their lil SKS dilemma

This will continue til they just make it part of the definition of classifications under the FA

 

[Sniffer]

So what is the next gun(s) we're waiting to see banned by FRT publication / change?

SKS is on shaky ground I reckon.

Although it does have an ace up its sleeve.... Remains to be seen if that is enough.

 

[Deathrawt]

I wanted to get one of these but after what happened with the crypto I decided to stay away
Still pisses me off that they just up and ban things on a whim like this and on a Sunday to boot?
Fn parasites….

there are still plenty of guns trading hands, just not in the open in places where agents of the state can see it happening.

The tighter the govt grips, the more people will ignore them. The black market will increase and the govt will lose even more control as people realize purchasing a semi auto is no more illegal than purchasing a full auto.

not surprised. didnt buy one for this reason. i won't be buying anything else, either, until i see something let up. watch the henry homesteader come next.

Then you let the lieberals win. They are trying to dissuade people from owning guns and you have complied.

The R9 is not a shrunk down R18. It has a completely different operating system. If a pistol caliber direct blowback carbine is a "variant" of a rifle caliber, gas operated, piston rifle then basically any firearm can be a variant of any other firearm. If this is the standard for a variant then how is a 44 mag lever rifle not a variant of an AR15?

Or is it a "variant" because it physically resembles the R18? In which case, every 22 rimfire replica is now a variant of the rifle or SMG it is trying to resemble ... which is just stupid.

Stupid for certain but a lot of the 22 replicas are already on the list

Colt LE6920 vs AR6591.

not really. i just had no interest in owning it.

 

[Bartok5]

not really. i just had no interest in owning it.

But WHY did you have no interest in owning it? Because it was likely to be banned? Or because you just didn''t like the tactical Black platform for some strange reason.....

You just said yourself that the reason you didn't buy one was because you thought it would be banned. So....... ???

 

[DaveMachine]

I'm guessing "the lab" will drop the Alcor FRT update over the Christmas break - my guess is AR variant

Also, while we're on the subject of "the lab". Imagine you're some constable who gets posted there thinking you're going to do investigations, catch criminals - you know, police work. But instead, most of your job is just make work to come up with ridiculous justifications to reach predetermined outcomes given to you by politicians. Imagine how little self respect you would have to do that every day.

just wasn't interested in dropping $2k on a pcc. considering an M&P 15 goes for like $700, hard to justify buying some random 9mm turkish pcc for twice that. and yes, the fact that the frt wasn't confirmed also swayed my decision, but was not the ultimate end all be all of why i didn't buy it.

i buy things i like. regardless of impending doom. which is why i continue to legally buy pistols under my exemption status.

This pistol caliber direct blowback carbine:

Is a variant of this rifles caliber gas operated piston rifle:

The “designer” himself said the R9 is a shrink down version of the R18. The RCMP SFSS use manufacturers sales/marketing in making their classification determinations. This should be well known by now, especially to someone like jr cox. As soon as he said that, he tied the R9s fate to the R18. Once the R18 went prohib he should have stopped all sales of the R9 and informed the dealers selling the R9. But of course he didn’t. Which should also be of no surprise to anyone who knows his history.
