Criminal Code - Section 84 and Prohibited Magazines (defining legal mags)

[passer544]

Loopholes are not really loopholes. They are ways that the more inventive people are at obeying their laws. Let the lazy person never shoot more than 5 rounds out of their AR15s, and the ones that are more up to date on the rules and more creative shoot 15 rounds out of their AR15s. Everything at 10 would restrict thousands of law abiding Canadians even further. Is that what we should do? Criminal doesn't care how many rounds in a mag except as many as possible. Why does it matter if we have 30 rounders or not? We aren't running around terrorizing this country with them and we all know that we all have the access to obtain 30 round or greater mags. We are a polite society that chooses not to terrorize the country but we are being treated as if we are all crazy people.

I'm just being realistic all mags being 10rds is easier to accomplish then no mag restrictions that will never happen with the bad rep they black guns have. Hence how I sold all of my black guns and went to lever actions and 1911's

That still wont work because there are still more exceptions to the rule. ex: a 10 round magazine to fit a .40 beretta 96 will hold 13 9mm and function perfectly in a 9mm beretta 92.

Dont get me wrong here, imposing a magazine capacitiy restriction is just plain stupid...

What I ment is that in the article its only about semi-autos and handguns, it doesnt say anything about bolt action rifles...

Thank you for the clarification. I apologise, I misunderstood what you were saying.

Take care.

(ii) is a rifle of the type commonly known as the “Lee Enfield” rifle, where the magazine is capable of containing not more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed, or

(iii) is commonly known as the U.S. Rifle M1 (Garand) including the Beretta M1 Garand rifle, the Breda M1 Garand rifle and the Springfield Armoury M1 Garand rifle;

Odd they don't mention the twenty round Lee Enfield, or M1s made by Winchester, H&R, International Harvester or Fulton Armoury.

Why don't they just make every CENTREFIRE mag limited to 10 rounds and that's that. Doesn't make sence that a LAR mag can hold 10 but a p-mag can only hold 5. I know why that's the way it is but frig why not just stop all these loopholes and make every mag hold 10. That's just my opinion

Fixed it for you.
