Making AR15 lowers from scratch? Did RCMP kill it?

Yeah at that price I would have bought a bunch. lol
Declared using loose definition of current regulations.
So this brings us to another question. If an item is not defined in any way in the criminal code, how can they legally just choose to prohibit such an item ? The essential principle/function of the law is definition and proper description. Without sufficient description, you cannot lay a charge that would fly in court of law. We have literally thousands of laws on books and part of every single law is definition or description of what the law says is a violation of it. In case of firearms, a prohibited device carries pretty stiff penalties if violated so it is an absolute must for such an item/device to be correctly defined. RCMP is law enforcement agency, not law making king but they certainly behave that way. I don't remember any recent amendments to the Firearms Act & Criminal Code, we would know about it.

Standard operating procedure for the RCMP firearms lab these days is to creatively re-interpret existing regulations to ban and restrict item that have been legal for decades. I'm sure a lot of it would never survive court challenges but none of us have the money for that. I also don't feel like taking that gamble with some of the activist, far left judges we have.
Yeah, the hard left judges are a big issue for something like this. Enough so, one would have to budget on having to go to the Appeals Court level.
Depending on what is being challenged... ie if it’s directly in the CC, one must be charged under the CC in order to challenge it. Quite the roll of the dice *and* you could be sitting in jail while doing so. The Americans have it right compared to us - and allow direct challenges to the law by average citizens; whereas in Canada it’s done by defendants.

Charge and let the court say otherwise. You’ll be out lots of money, potentially your job, the loss or seizure of other property - even possibly your freedom while challenging.
When it does go to trial - guess who the crown will call as the experts.... by default, the RCMP will be deemed credible - you will not be. Even worse,.., if it looks like you are going to win, the crown can elect to just drop the charge up until mere moments before a verdict is rendered - and nullyfing your challenge.
The crown, if they detect you are purposefully getting yourself charged specifically to challenge the law / interpretation can also elect not to charge you specifically - thus preserving the threat to everyone else.
Yes, if you are developing something from scratch because you think you can make it better they will give you a permit.
(Obviously this is simplifying it)
Watching videos where various materials like a wood 2x4 a plastic cutting board and beer cans were turned into functional ( for a while) receivers made me laugh. Worse comes to worse import a few experts from the Khyber pass or the Philippines jungle to make some guns from scrap metal.
This is basically what happened when CFO refused to renew my restricted PAL without proof of range membership. Working with a prominent firearms lawyer and firearms rights group, I told them to issue me refusal so I could take it to court.
They promptly renewed my license, even issuing me blanket ATT, going against all the reasons they told me they weren't going to renew it. They didn't want it to be challenged in a gun friendly Saskatchewan Court.
I disagree. In my experience, gun owners as a whole are very vocal until they actually have to do something.
