Limited magazine capacity laws are just so Wendy doesn't get indigestion whilst filling her face with Big Mac's. They really don't make the public any safer. Like most firearms laws, they only exist so that spineless lefties can sleep a little better at night in their gated communities.

We fell for the compromise trap decades ago! The Anti's don't compromise they just take everything they can get and won't be happy until everything gun or gun like is gone!
I bought one of those plastic flare guns for my boat kit at Canadian Tire not too long ago; and the lady in line behind me gasped and exclaimed "that shouldn't be allowed cause you could kill someone with that"! all I said was "don't be silly! You look like a mature Woman" the Cashier laughed and that seemed to shut the twit up.
I wanted to say more but the laugh from the Cashier seemed to be a good end to it. Write letters to MP's and keep fighting to get the useless Laws like mag limits overturned. AND DON'T COMPROMISE!

you do know that the CFOs have the authority to grant you an exemption to the mag limits for shooting competitions....... but they won't
What if they introduce legislation that puts the right to own property in Trudeau's Constitution instead?
There's no such thing as a 'standard capacity' or 'full capacity' for any magazine. There's only prohibited and non-prohibited magazines, in Canada. Like Onagoth says, we don't need any mag capacity rules. Especially since they come directly from the U.S. ATF.
You need to quit using the derogatory term 'fudd' when speaking of other, experienced shooters.

My personal view is that at some point I'm just going to lose patience and hire a lawyer and sue over the magazine regulations, for the simple reason I don't understand what they mean.
What is: "a semi-automatic handgun that is not commonly available in Canada" exactly? I have absolutely no clue. Really I don't. People seem to imply it means an "assault" pistol from the other subparts of the regulation but it doesn't say that, it could mean anything really.
And what does: "was originally designed or manufactured for use in" mean? Once again, not much of a clue. I have no idea what the guy who designed it was thinking. Maybe he designed it for use in a rifle in his garden shed and then someone said, hey, let's use it in a pistol or vice versa. These kind of laws usually use the words: "designed or adapted for use in" which is a much clearer definition.
Laws that require you to heavily speculate as to their meaning aren't really laws.

But face it Canadian shooters do, because the principle argument for not changing the regulations is that they usually work in our favour, e.g. the .50 BeoWulf magazines. If they were clarified it would probably be a straight ban on any magazine that holds more than ten rounds, including adaptations, so no more .50 BeoWulf get outs. Maybe there would be some exceptions for antiques and maybe even .22s but that's about it.
I've seen the same argument used for the prohibited firearms regulations, yes they suck but if they went down then the replacement would be much more clearly written, such as a feature ban.
C-17 had a clause in it that allowed competitors to legally posses hi capacity magazines for shooting competitions. The problem was that no firearms officer would issue one because they didn't want to rock the boat. When C68 came into effect C-17 was over written.

I remember, way back when the darkness first descended upon us, that you could go and request an exemption to the magazine capacity limits. There was a form or a letter that had to be submitted to make the request. However, though legal, all such requests (mine included) were refused outright and without consideration as, you guessed it: policy.
There is nothing reasonable about this countries gun laws. We have somehow been infiltrated through and through by the left. They have infiltrated the government, the bureaucratic levels of the police forces and have bought the media and press. Nothing is going to change it except people clawing back their rights one vote at a time.
