Of course no one knows until we all know, and by then it will be too late, but having finally recovered from the handgun buying spree I've started eyeing a few NR semi-auto rifles now before the next round of Liberal BS. Reading up on NR rifles like CZ Bren 2 and B&T APC223 etc. and I'm tempted, but holy jeebus that's a lot of coin for something that has a high probability of being prohibited before I could even have fun with it. So I've started looking at pistol calibre NR semi-auto rifles that take 9 mm 10 round Glock mags instead. But even then I don't want to just buy a paperweight. What do you guys think? Are pistol calibre semi-auto rifles likely to be grandfathered in, and then ignored by our dear leader's prohibition committee, or branded too "assault-style"?
Will pistol calibre semi-auto rifles survive the ban hammer?

To see where Canadian gun laws are heading , just look at New Zealand gun laws as that is the template that Trudeau is using . Fortunately Trudeau is taking the Liberal party down in flames , and will burn it to the ground next election . Probably best to buy used when buying semi autos , and keep any new purchases off the back door registries that the dealers have to maintain for sales .
They may survive this one. Perhaps the next. Maybe even the one after that.
But rest assured, no gun is safe. The bolt hunting rifles will be ''High-powered sniper rifles''. Duck shotguns will be ''Firearms capable of discharging hundred of projectiles with a single shot''. Did you know double guns can be fired as fast as a semi? No one needs that much firepower. 22LR is one of the most common calibers found by law enforcement, so clearly only assassins and mobsters need such a concealable caliber.
There is no reasonning. There is no logic. Only feelings. And their feelings don't care about yours.

To turn some of their own BS against them... they are hung up on this 10,000 joules energy if not a CF/Semi/Mag, so to put in perspective a 9mm 124gr is about 360J.
Not that facts or reality matter to these degenerates.

Agree with all points. And just looking at the Polys interactions with PS Blair and Mendicino, they are incessant on continuing to send pictorial lists of semi autos to PS - the last one I saw was May of 21 or 22 and included a number of carbines and rifles, all of which was semi auto and all of which had detachable mags Unsurprisingly they all made it onto G46, along with even semi auto 22s. The big visual note of comparison on the Polys list was the fact that the guns listed, even stuff that is normally in wooden stocks, were all in black/synthetic stocks. If it is not evident to all, it should be now, that the ban is purely on aesthetics - sure they note in the new C21 amendments characteristics, but don't be fooled by any of this.
And MM has already indicated that part of the goal/mandate of the re-ignited firearms committee (I would argue its only goal), is to assess and characterise and re-categorize existing firearms. Given Poly is on their back constantly, there is no doubt on my mind what way this is going to go, especially for those seemingly new posters who keep asking "what is safe?" or "what can I buy?"
Agree with Midnight Rider that for those who want to, buying used at this point is probably a prudent course of action.
Centrefire semi auto rifle with 10 round legal magazines under a Liberal government? What do you think?
I'm surprised they weren't singled out as a "loop hole" that utilize handgun ammo/magazines in a rifle platform yet.

There is absolutely no way to tell where things will land. Looking to the history of democracies as a guide, I generally expect fewer freedoms across the board in the future. I try to enjoy what I can while I can, as much as the budget allows.
100%
There are other rifle-caliber options that are worth considering that are available at a much lower price point. And they offer what I'd say are much better value than most PCCs. I enjoy my PCCs, but I do think most are underwhelming considering their sticker prices.
As above, they're all likely to be restricted in the future anyway. I'd rather enjoy what I want rather than having to make an effort to enjoy something that I know is a compromise.
Nothing at all wrong with a PCC, they're fun as hell to shoot and nearly a third the price of bulk 223.
The Liberals only care about holding absolute power, so anything that might be used to remove them from power is a threat. Families, honking horns and bouncy castles invoked the Emergencies act, so you'd have to mentally retarded to think that any firearm will escape their ban list.
Buy what you want now, with the expectation that they could be prohibited soon if the Liberals keep power. 2030 is less than 7 years away, and the globalists have big plans for us...
