Will Garand En Bloc mags be banned ?

You do understand that these definitions and regulations are quite arbitrary and can be changed on the whims of the current political agenda. Gun control isn't about crime control, or even gun control;it's about people control.
 
As an aside, does anyone know if New Zealand, Australia, or Britain allow 10rd magazines for the Lee Enfield?...or what the general status and ownership is of these rifles in those countries.
 
I know in England there are no magazine limits, and suppressors up to 30db are good to go.

Australia varies by state and NZ... well, lets not go there.

What about all those Lee-Enfield 10 round mags ?

- Crack down on high-capacity magazines and require that long gun magazines capable of holding more than 5 rounds be permanently altered so that they can never hold more than 5 rounds
- Ban the sale or transfer of magazines that could hold more than a legal number of bullets, regardless of how they were intended to be used by the manufacturer.

Nobody know. You are just stirring the pot.
Just getting everybody piss off with wire wolf tales.
Wait like anybody for answers if ever any.
 
In NZ 10 rounds is now the max so LEs are fine, all mags over 10 are now prohibited & require a P endorcement on your licence, all centre fire semis are now also prohibited & also need a P endorcement, there is no longer a C endorcement which allowed the ownership & shooting of "Military Style Semi Automatics" is now gone & so with the laws around features associated with MSSAs so now i can own a GSG 22LR MP40 which i could not before due to the free standing pistol grip.
Semi-automatic .22 are still allowed but restricted to 10 rounds & some semi auto shotguns are also allowed but restricted to 3 rounds iirc
 
The issue with NZ was the large non-compliance by a very historically compliant population. The NZ govt published the exact number OS semi-autos imported, but yet the figures for semi’s turned in was just over 20%. How are they going to fix this issue without looking like a draconian govt will be interesting to observe. I also think the current govt under JT is sitting back and going to see what the solution will be. Thus they will be better able to ascertain if the solution is even reasonable for the Canadian population. The other thing you have to include which NZ didn’t have to deal with is the fact that we share a border with the largest consumers of firearms in the world and that same border is lightly guarded with high rates of smuggling across it.

I personally think JT has bigger issues to deal with right now and has to pick his battles wisely. Such as the Great Reset vs gun control, which one has a greater win

The 8 round device used in the M1 Garand is NOT a magazine - it's an en bloc clip, hence magazine rules do not apply. Have a great day - you're welcome.

Mate, we live in a world where the term "assault-style weapon" exists and is used seriously by people. Magazine...clip...clipazine...shoulder thing that goes up...I don't think nuance is going to be a factor.

Under the old E cat Military Style Semi Automatic (MSSA) system in NZ a M1 Garand was classed as a MSSA due to the bayonet lug & the 8 round capacity (MSSAs were restricted to 7 rounds) we were able to own M1 Garands on a basic A cat licence but the bayonet lug had to be removed & a modified en bloc clip that held 7 rounds or less had to be used, your issue with your government would be whether or not 5 round clips could be used instead or the fact you could still use 8 round clips in a unmodified magazine well, would the rifle need to be modified or just the clips is the question!
 
Yeah.......

So.........

This is no longer about politics. This is about disarming you so you don't have the ability to fight back when they roll the cattle cars into the rail siding.

Good luck fellas.

This was established on be true, back in the nineties … there’s a difference between, a box magazine & an enbloc stripper clip. Which in reality it is.
 
True there is a law. But laws come and go overnight in Canada with no discourse or rationale. Only time will tell on this one.
 
Trudeau's Mandate to Mendicino today, Dec 16 2021:

Requiring the permanent alteration of long-gun magazines so that they can never hold more than five rounds

Short answer: they want everything banned! So if it survives the next wave, don’t worry it will be in one of the other waves.
 
We've become a socialist country with an enormous sense of entitlement and an addiction to debt. As long as Trudeau keeps the candy bowl filled he can do whatever he wants. $10 a day childcare buys a lot of votes, and a lot of compliance. :rey2
 
No, you can't predict the future, but if you are relying on Garand enblocs and Enfield mags to be exempt from the Liberal's plan (if they have one and follow through on it) because they have precedent, current protection, or are old, historic and valuable you will be sorely disappointed. What was included in the OIC ban proves these reasons mean nothing to them. I dare say they would relish in making you surrender or neuter these items for their own selfish pleasure.
