What Guns Did Canada BAN? Not JUST Assault Weapons

Published on May 3, 2020
Duration: 10:02

This video analyzes Canada's recent sweeping ban on firearms, which extends beyond traditional 'assault weapons' to include a wide range of semi-automatic rifles and even certain bolt-action firearms. The speaker, Magic Prepper, highlights that the ban targets specific models like the Diamondback DB10, AR-style rifles (including AR-15 and AR-10 variants), Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30, M14 variants (M1A), Vz58, Robinson Armament XCR, CZ Scorpion, Beretta CX4 Storm, and Sig Sauer MCX. Furthermore, it bans firearms capable of firing rounds with over 10,000 joules of energy (e.g., .50 BMG, .416 Barrett) and all AR upper receivers, effectively targeting 'ghost guns'. Current owners have a two-year amnesty period to dispose of banned firearms through surrender or modification, after which criminal charges will apply.

Quick Summary

Canada's recent gun ban is far-reaching, targeting not just assault weapons but also all semi-automatic rifles, AR-style firearms, high-energy caliber weapons (like .50 BMG), and AR upper receivers. Owners have two years to dispose of banned firearms before facing criminal charges.
