Are all AR's restricted?

I have been wondering...

Full autos are prohibited... if someone converts a semi-auto to a full auto they break the law... so a law is already in place to deal with people converting it... why do they need to restrict it as well... this is like a double whammy... the RCMP restricts something that could be turned to a full auto basically assuming that all firearms owners are criminals and will do so...

How many more s**t sandwiches are they going to hand law abiding citizens of Canada?? One of these bureaucrats must have enough brain power to know that pissing off the law abiding people of Canada is a career limiting move as we still do have the power... unless we are all planning on letting them take that away from us as well...

Sadly I doubt that even a CPC majority will make a lick of difference as far as C-17 and C-68 go... I am sure they are just fine with the status quo... Will do my best as a party member to raise a stink..

spend the time and money to win a battle in the courts like that only to have a new reason created that will make them restricted again.

quite the system.

I would like to have an AR. Realistically though, I probably won't unless they become non-restricted.

That is a totally defeatist attitude. The more AR-15 type rifles there are registered in Canada, the stronger the case for us to have then reclassified.

You can purchase a stripped AR-15 lower for less than $150.00.

The NFA has raised the issue with government and have run several articles in the Canadian Firearms Journal on the subject of what makes a 'modern sporting firearm.'

In the US, the NSSF has lauched a similar publicity campaign. AR-15s are the fastest selling modern sporting firearms in North America. If Canadian sportsmen buy enough of them, who knows, we may just reach critical mass and be lucky enough to elect the right pro-firearms government at the right time.

As for the original poster. For a good entry level AR-15, keep an eye on the EE for a good, used Colt AR-15 sporter or HBAR. They've been listed anywhere from $950-$1200. For a couple hundred more you can move up to a NIB RRA, STAG, etc...

Going the other way, assuming you are on a budget, the new Norinco M4 clone seems to offer decent quality for around $700.00 and accepts standard AR-15 parts and accessories, so you can upgrade as your budget permits.

i also agree for the norc, with an upgrade-as-you-go angle...i have one, and its already pretty ok by itself...you can enjoy shooting with is as is for a while before thinking of an upgrade...
 
I understand that if we fight we may win an then just have them restricted as an AR15 all on there own but we can't just do nothing!
I don't want to lose my guns and the direction we are going now that is exactly why will happen.
 
I fail to see why this would be restricted...its a single shot made by dpms. Other than the fact that they refer to it as a single shot AR...used to be made by DPMS.

The AR indeed was slated for the prohib list. What saved it was the DCRA making the case that civilians need to be able to own them to compete against military shooters in Service Rifle matches.

Yup. For those that don't already know the importance of participating in organized civilian marksmanship, there it is.

Next match in Calgary is Sunday. Shoot your not prohib AR, or whatever else you have.
 
Wish there was a millionaire among us.

Hell, if I won the lottery I would definitely donate some of it towards changing this bullsh!t classification of this simple semi-automatic magazine fed rifle.

Then if this is true why was the FN FAL not excempt to?
:confused:
Our Laws are F^(Ked Up!
 
Exactly. Apparently, they were trying for the FN as well, but at the end of the day, they were told they could only save one. So they made the decision to save the AR, since it was our current service rifle.:(
 
and since there was a Sh"/$T load of very cheap surplus FALs available it made more sense to the antis to keep those out of the hands of lawful gun owners.:mad:
