[Fusilier]

Does anyone know if/when/where these are available in Canada?

not prohibited specifically, but they would need to be pinned to 10 since Ruger promoted them as rifle/PISTOL mags.

Isn't it a police state when the police starts making up laws and rules??

Not when they are applying them as written. If anyone, blame Ruger.

I can't really fault Ruger on this one, after all they removed the flash hider and even for a short while the collapsable stocks from the SR-22's to allow them to be exported to Canada.

I think they do value the canadian market, however they need to hire a full time "Canadian BS gun laws" person to weed through our incredible beurocracy.

What they (Canadian government, not Ruger) need to do is re-write the law to actually reflect the intent, not the letter. Something as simple as "a magazine can only hold 10 rounds when used IN a pistol" would probably do it.

If the government had any brains, there would be no magazine limit for any firearm, rimfire, centrefire, beltfed, shotgun, semiauto, anything.
