Ok heres the stupid part about Canada's gun laws.
About 7 years ago they implemented a mandatory gun registry system. So this means that every non-restricted gun had to be registered by 3 years time. This caused a huge uproar, especially in Western Canada where the population is mostly old farmers who keep a .22 to shoot pigeons and gophers.
Also, this gun law only deals with non-restricted...not restricted or handguns.....how does that make any sense? "Lets register all the hunters and farmers guns, that will cut down on crime" Well, it didn't work. Crime with guns is still at an all time high, and they spent almost 2 billion dollars to make the registry work.
So, IMO, they need to implement handgun laws and restricted firearms laws. Those are the guns that kill people, not everyday peoples guns. Even then, that won't work 100%, its not like criminals are going to go and voluntarily register their murder weapon...
Beside the point, these SKS's are only 5 round clips and semi-auto, so they are not prohibited. But needless to say a file and some machine work they can be full auto....
