How many AR15's and Variants in Civilian Hands?

[ak75]

The police have a history of doing this sort of thing, I doubt "antis" would, but it could happen. If it was well organized and we as a group were disciplined it could have an impact. You'll never change everyone's opinion, but you could change a fair number I'd bet, assuming we could look like what we are, average citizens.

True. I once read an online review of a Canadian shooting range. It was positive and the first timer enjoyed himself other than the guy saying "these aren't your average Canadians, not people you see in a mall walking amongst you, these are gun people!"....like really?? As if they are locked up inside the shooting range and can never leave.

I suppose he would have said the same if he was at Dart night at the Pub...these aren't your average Canadians they're Dart People!

The Canadian Firearms Program has the information for all registered Restricteds and Prohibited. Go big and submit an Access to Information request for $5. Request the total number of all registered semi-automatic rifles in .223 and 5.56; then request breakdown by maker and start sorting the returns. There are so many boutique makers that only asking for the Colts, Bushmasters and DPMs will only give you part of the answer.

Lots of AR's in other calibres too. Maybe request a list of all registered restricted AR15/AR10 rifles regardless of calibre?
