Canadian Gun Law

[wildbill]

If there was one Canadian gun law you could change, which one would it be and why?

[223MB]

I wish they brought back the gun registry.

[Hillbilly 12]

To be able to own an ak-47 and shoot it in the field.

[STY181]

Be able to hunt with hand guns

[DiabeticKripple]

There’s many I would change.

Mag limits. They serve no public safety benefit whatsoever.

Classification. A gun is a gun. Any gun will harm a human. If you trust me to go into the backcountry with a hunting rifle, then why not a handgun?

ATT’s: see above

I agree that would be a great experience.

Laws that target the person, not the gun. Gun's are not the problem. People are and only a few of them.

[.264 Win Mag]

There are lots that need revamping. What constitutes an antique firearm, the laws that target the gun, classification, mag limit, the list goes on and on

[Unregistered user]

Get rid of the whole thing, but brutally punish those who commit armed offenses whether armed with guns, knives, bats, vehicles etc.

[Big pete]

10/22 25 round magazines

[Newview01]

The should be only be a law regarding the improper use of firearms, and nothing regarding purchase / ownership / use.

[Positrac]

To be able to shoot out the window of a vehicle. Shouldnt be able to call it road hunting if you have to get out of the vehicle and off the road. It just makes no sense...

It’s easier to note the only part of the firearms act that I’d keep, that being the licensing component. Once a person has proven they’ve not got a criminal history and don’t have a serious mental health issues it should not matter if they have a single shot Cooey, a semi-auto .338 Win Mag, a Sig P320 pistol with factory 21 round magazines or an AR-15 with a 40 round magazine.

I am in full agreeement with the part about keeping violent criminals locked up for far longer than they are currently being sentenced, transferring culpability to the offenders rather than any ‘unfortunate upbringing or circumstance’ that they used to try to justify their serious criminality.

[Smokinyotes]

Cabers got it right. I have no problem with having to have a firearms license. The rest of the laws are just nonsense.

[bowhunter9841]

Cabertosser will you please run for Prime Minister?? I totally agree with the license part. The rest of it, is a big crock of poopoo!!

You need a license to drive and a license to purchase/own firearms only makes sense. The rest of the laws are pretty much stupid and serve no purpose other than to punish law abiding gun owners.

Something like a mandatory 15 year sentence for using a firearm in the commission of a crime.......to be served before any other sentences incurred (ie: no 'concurrent' time) and you get no time off for good behavior.

In other words, you commit and armed robbery and get 5 years for the AR, you serve every second of the 15 before you ever start your 5.

Not that that will prevent all gun crime, once certain people make a choice to commit a crime with a gun, it's been proved that even a death penalty doesn't deter them, but it would go a long way towards making criminals pay in a meaningful way.

[58thecat]

All guns are good to go period, one course to be allowed to own, poses all types of guns.

Why? Because spoons kill more people every year than guns....

[Sledin]

I don't disagree with having to pass the CFSC and background checks.
But having to renew your PAL every four years is WRONG, what keeps a government from just NOT renewing?

Or even how you can get a 10 year passport but not a 10 year gun license.

[play.soccer]

No registry at all as it has never solved anything other than giving the feds the locations of the doors to kick down.

Basically repeal the whole act, punish those who commit gun crimes severely.

X2, stiffer penalties for firearms offences (and I don't mean offences hatched by current legislation, like having a full capacity mag) and more thorough licencing/training programs. I have seen people with firearms who obviously are not familiar with firearms and should absolutely have a mentor with them. Just see the "things you see at the range" thread.

There are some scary people out there for sure, and the scariest part, is just a lack of knowledge, not really their fault, they only know what they know, the only way they’ll learn is if people in the know, intervene and correct them. Mag limits, the only thing preventing a mass shooting is a rivet, in most mags anyway. It would sure be nice to carry a handgun like our neighbors across the imaginary line to the south

[Newview01]

How about mandatory firearms ownership, would obviously come along with proper training and re-qualification every so often. Turn the common citizen into the militia. Would we still have the rural crime problem then?

Firearms are not a deterrent if our laws don't allow us to use them to protect our property.

[expedition]

I don't agree with the pal process . A criminal history check and away you go!

[wolf308]

All newly appointed liberals must play a round of Russian roulette with 3 rounds in the revolver 😲


Hmmmm. Mine probably be the BS regarding handguns - transport laws and areas to shoot should be private property and crown / anywhere safe to do so. Funny I can pack my Barrett 50 cal easily enough ( pun intended ) etc etc wherever ( better be dam sure I know what's in it's path ) , but my 44 wheel gun .... Oh no , instant criminal

Or just de classify all the restricted to regular guns so I get an AR without the headache.

Or basically what caber said too.

[markg]

I would change the laws regarding Supressors. For me this is personal. I had a firearms incident that has damaged my hearing. Wouldnt have happened if I had been using a suppresor.

I miss being able to listen to music and hearing all the tones and pitches. I hate having to say "pardon" to people speaking to me on the wrong side.

I like the mental health component in there. Hell, a minimum IQ might even be a consideration! We've all seen those dudes at the range or gun store before.
