No your misunderstanding the law. By what your saying ALL crossbows would be prohib as I could likely fire any of the, single handed
looking at the link you provided, kinda looks like a "handgun" style crossbow. maybe thats why? i could be wrong though. canadian laws.... we all know how joyfull they are.

crossbows are prohibited by length, if they are too short they get the ban-hammer.
"When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." – Bastiat
Cogito ergo armatus sum
to make it legal all you have to do is shoot it with BOTH HANDS.
"Designed" to be fired with one hand.. That's the way they word it.
I didn't invent the turtle neck, but I was the first to recognize it's potential as a tactical garment... Tactical turtle neck. Tactlneck.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
so basically if you want one, get it now before the ban hammer comes down? lol

A5. Crossbows that can be aimed and fired with one hand and crossbows with an overall length of 500 mm or less are prohibited. You cannot lawfully possess or acquire a prohibited crossbow.
You do not need a valid licence or registration certificate to possess any other type of bow, including a crossbow that is longer than 500 mm and that requires the use of both hands. Criminal Code provisions making it an offence to acquire a crossbow without a valid licence were never brought into force.

I have one that is all legit and legal and can be aimed and fired with one hand,I can fire my sks with one hand so not sure what thats about..they probly meant something more along the size of a pistol..500mm is shortest allowed,shorter = prohibited..
How long is the said marstar one ? Looks like it might be a fun little toy.

Do you really think John would try and sell this if it was prohibited?
