[QUOTE="soberups, post: 664632, member: 14668"] Not true. I know you are from there but your facts are simply wrong. There are three classes of firearms and firearm licences: non-restricted, restricted and prohibited. Prohibited firearms are not actually prohibited, they simply require a prohibited licence to obtain. New prohibited licences are available only at the discretion of the Chief Firearms Officer of a province or the Federal Government of Canada. [LIST] [*]Non-restricted licences allow a person to own and use most semi-automatic and manual action rifles and shotguns, but no handguns. Rifles and shotguns that do not meet length requirements are classed as restricted. Some rifles and shotguns are classed as restricted by name. [*][B]Restricted licences allow a person to own [U]most handguns[/U] and some restricted semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.[/B] Handguns with barrels 105 mm or shorter are classed as prohibited. Some handguns are classed as prohibited by name. [/LIST]The reality is that Canadian gun laws are in many cases[I] less[/I] restrictive than laws in states like Illinois, California and Washington DC....states which, by some strange coincidence, have the highest rates of violent and gun crime.
