Future of semi auto shotguns in Canada

If you want to know what Trudeau's Liberals are planning in regards to gun control , then just read up on the gun laws in the U.K. and Australia as that is the template that Trudeau is using for Canada . It may not happen tomorrow , but it will happen if the Liberals can stay in govt. long enough .
 
I don't believe you need to worry about your semi-auto shotgun - unless its black - or green - or mag fed - or holds more than three rounds - or has a pistol grip - or is MAGNUM - or a barrel less than 26 inches - or has a rear sight - or was made in a non progressive factory......:rolleyes:
 
I’ve heard that he is using those countries as a template, but both had specific events that caused the bans. The UK for example has incredibly strict gun controls due to the IRA. They were basically fighting a guerilla war against their own citizens. Even carrying a knife in London for example is against the law unless it pertains to your work that day ie drywall knife. I would be highly surprised if Canada adopted Similar laws. Not to mention hunting is far less popular or even possible for a large part of their population meaning their is even less need to own a shotgun let alone a semi-auto. Canada and the UK aren’t really comparable in that regard.
 
I shot Clays in Perth Australia in 2010. At the time I had been using a Beretta 391 PT, guy at the gun club said he had one to lend me but it was set up for left handed so I passed. He did say it had the magazine fixed so the gun only shot 2 shots including the one in the chamber. At that time the only spot to hunt waterfowl in Australia was in the Melbourne area, I don't know what the shuttle capacity was for that.
At West Australian Gun Club I entered a walk in vault that had at least 30 O/U Beretta shotguns and selected one for the weekend. Great facility, and shooters were very much like shooters around the places I've shot in North America.
A fellow in my squad owned a gun store which I later visited. He sold rifles and shotguns, he would order a handgun for anyone who wanted one but it was too big a headache for him to have them around (paperwork and low sales). At that time he told me if anyone wanted to purchase a firearm, they had to apply at the police station and it took 28 days to get the permit. Belonging to a club was also a pre-requisite.
He also stated that during the gun buy-back from the gov't, a lot of guys turned in older or unwanted guns and used the money to buy a new gun.

A fellow I hunted ducks with this year is from Scotland. He said he has his guns certified each year, they come to his house and check for modifications. His pumps and semi auto shotguns have been fixed to limit a 2 shell magazine capacity.
I wouldn't object to my semi-auto hunting guns being permanently restricted to 2 in the magazine like Scotland (and I'm assuming Great Britain too) if it allows Waterfowlers and other semi-Auto shotgunners to continue to use them.

I think you best check that one and Like I said been hearing it since 1963 SO

Not my words

While firearms licensing and hunting regulations differ from state to state, the National Firearms Agreement sets out the different categories of firearms that are legal in Australia. The different categories of firearms are the same in every state and territory in Australia.

These are still being used
Category C firearms:

Semiautomatic rim-fire rifles (with a magazine capacity no greater than 10 rounds)
Semiautomatic shotguns (with a magazine capacity no greater than 5 rounds)
Pump-action shotguns (with a magazine capacity no greater than 5 rounds

One has to wonder what the endgame is?

Surely the elites/UN/ TPTB are planning something huge, or know something. Why is the UN Pushing for civil disarmament? It's obviously not about making the world safer, it's 100% about control.

The intellegence level of the average human boggles my mind... People are so FKKin stoopid, they actually believe that making more laws is the answer. Somehow these criminals who commit gun crime will now obey the law??????????

it makes me sick, that these 'people' are our leaders... Shame on you.
 
To a Lieberal my trap and waterfowl gun is clearly an assault weapon.

"We" didn't vote them in, the majority of voters did not vote for this government , but we are stuck with the regulations they enact.

Actually about 39% of Canadians voted Liberal - and over 19% voted NDP (which is just a unionized Liberal). The majority of Canadians are getting exactly who they voted for.

Sucks to be the rest of us.... but I think we're a little off topic. Sorry.
 
The OP has asked a legitimate question; its one that I've heard discussed many times in a variety of places. Its something that is clearly on the minds of gun owners, whether talking shotguns or rifles.

Personally, I don't believe semi-auto shotguns are on the government's hit list (yet). But handguns obviously are, which is why our current government has motivated me to finally get off my butt and take my RPAL course last weekend.

They'll eventually get around to them all.
The fudds think their bolts are safe.
In 2 years when the handguns and semis have all been dumped into the blast furnaces the bolt actions will become 'long distance sniper rifles'.
If registration and/or central storage come in and gun owners comply they can grab them any time they want.
