Nope, a 22", 24", 26" AR would still be restricted ALL AR's ARE ALWAYS RESTRICTED. The 'qualities' of an "assault rifle" are from an old proposal which was never actually put into effect - it was copied from the American AWB. All the most recent changes did was put into law the original orders in council, to avoid having the OIC's rescinded as easily as they were put in place. Forget trying to use logic to explain these ludicrous pieces of sh*t legislation, there is no rhyme or reason to the firearms act, the more you know about firearms the less sense the law makes.
AR15 = Restricted, Tavor = Non-restricted...WTF?

The AR-15 was PROHIB, they threw it into restricted because of lobbying by various groups. Features of the particular rifle is irrelevant.
Look at the Remington R-15, designed for varmint hunters, unfortunately American varmint hunters. Restricted here because of being a variant of an AR-15. Barrel length, features, calibre, ect are irrelevant.
Same as an AK47, any variant regardless of features of the rifle are prohib.

Except the Valmet, an AK47 variant, is non-restricted...... thanks to lobbying by aboriginal people.
Trying to figure out liberal (or red conservative) ideology, while you still have a set of balls between you legs, will only give you an ulcer. Liberal thinking doesn't make sense to those of us who work full time, pay taxes, and own property. Bill C-68 doesn't make any sense at all to anyone except limp wristed leftists who think that we should all be castrated and branded with socialist slave numbers for better cataloguing and control. When the liberals tried to out do Kim Campbell's misguided attempt at "righting the wrongs" of the then current gun laws they didn't consult anyone with any firearms knowledge. They just relied on fear, lies, false stats, and orders in council to push it through. And so now we have inconsistent laws that are totally ass backwards and incoherent. 
Not really, as when the law was challenged (whether by "aboriginal people" or not, no one has ever cited any proof) the reason was for HUNTING. Changing the status from 12.5 -> Restricted still wouldn't allow their use for hunting, the whole reason the law was changed in the first place.
I'd like to know what the reason was for the AR15 not becoming prohib? I suspect when people challenged the status, their excuse was not hunting, but rather for other reasons (ie: use in service rifle) and therefore making it a range queen was acceptable, in the governments eyes.

The DCRA was the major force in avoiding prohib status for the AR, so you are corrrect in your assumption.
Quit complaining people. I'd rather it be restricted than prohibited!
Hi All,
"Gun-control" has nothing to do with logic, it has nothing to do with right, it has nothing to do with common sense, it has nothing to do with research and most of all it has nothing to do with public safety.
"Gun-control" has everything to do with controlling who has the guns and who doesn't (government and criminals exempted). That's why it's called gun CONTROL and not gun safety or some other term. That's all there is to it.
Don't you all worry, if the Liberals get in you'll see the TAVOR and a lot of other guns PROHIBITED and CONFISCATED.
Hope this answers your questions of 'why'.
on-ca
X2 on that.
During the last election the liberals made it perfectly clear that the current list of restricted semi-autos is "dangerously outdated" and would go about fixing this problem by invoking rules that certain cosmetic features would be enough to ban and prohibit just about every semi-auto including most rifles specifically made for game and waterfoul hunting. There are a few people, who do not represent the majority of Canadian's feelings about this subject but who are close to having the power to take all your firearms away. Yes not for safety but more for control. Why governments want a weak and defenseless population is beyond me, but there you have a reality that we cannot let move forward.
And that was the attitude we all had when we lined up to register our guns. The "Well at least we can keep them" attitude will change under the Liberals to "Well at least they are not taking them ALL away".
I hate to say it but if no one registered there existing guns the registry would of failed within a few years......
