Why are some semi autos prohibited or restricted and others not?

Why is a semi auto AK-47 prohibited, yet other same caliber semi autos are not? I've seen rifles that look identical to an AK and perform the exact same way, yet they are considered non-restricted. Why are some firearms restricted or prohibited based on their look or "scaryness"? What fools came up with these laws? I'm very confused.

Because the laws were written by fearful, ignorant people who wanted to at least give the appearance of making Canada safer, while irritating the fewest voters possible.

A group of woman had a meeting with the Liberals and they had a bunch of pictures of rifles, shotguns and handguns.

Then they went Innie Minnie Minie Moe.

And created a giant f$%^ing disaster for millions of Canadians.

Why is the AK-47 prohibited in Canada?

Simple....... in addition to being semi-automatic, it has a fully-automatic mode with a firing rate of 600rds/min. This is comparison with the CZ 858, a very similar firearm in appearance, etc, but with only a semi-automatic mode.

I think he might have been referring to the the semi automatic only variants, which are made for the U.S. market by the thousands.
They were prohibited because they are scary and the laws were made by people who had ZERO knowledge of firearms.

You're asking a dangerous question. When you tell a gun banner that an "un-scarry" one does exactly the same thing as a "scary" one, you risk a response something like: "Is that so? Then we should ban the "un-scary" ones too."
 
And yet anyone can go and buy a 200mph Corvette, stop in at a liqour store and buy as much booze as they please...........go figure


That's because Joe Average owns and uses these things. And of course Libs like these same things. Look at Bryant and how he used his vehicle as a weapon............and what did he get from that? The SOB.

The Libs and their bureaucratic minions, who want to keep their jobs and climb the internal ladder by kissing *ss, along with the media are always able to stir the fear of the Lord in the ignorant masses when it comes to guns. And of course are able to use this to buy votes. Those same bureaucrats are still employed in govt and thinking the same way.........biding their time with Harper until the Libs or Dippers come to power. And if you think they are feeding the truth, the whole truth to their Minister bosses, well, that would be a gigantic leap of faith. It is all a game where the desk dwellers say what their bosses want to hear and feed them part truths and downright lies by times. H:S:
