Here’s ammo from 4 different guns. All have been used to hunt one thing or another. Including the AR which is my preferred deer rifle. When hunting small to thin the population. All have semi auto capability and all have 10 round magazine
Guess which one is the dreaded AR round. C9C7EDA7-CE6E-490F-8D4F-0CBF32699FB1.jpeg

The AR is so scary that the government had special rounds made in that caliber. It turns out that the normal round won’t punch through a car door so they had to add a steel rod. Very scary.

I am just going to go ahead and say it. Semi automatic rifles in the military are pretty much reserved for sniper rifles. I doubt that is what they are referring to here. So I really want o know what they mean by "military style".

Assault-style weapons are banned in Canada effective immediately, the country's prime minister said Friday.

The move comes less than two weeks after Canada's deadliest rampage in modern history, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 22 people after a 12-hour reign of terror.

"You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa. "So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade assault weapons in this country."

Police said the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and at least two semi-automatic rifles, one of which was described by witnesses as a military-style assault weapon.

"These weapons were designed for one purpose, and one purpose only, to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada," Trudeau said.

The ban is effective immediately but disposal of the weapons will be subject to a two-year amnesty period. Trudeau said some form of compensation would also be put in place but the firearms can also be exported and sold after a proper export license is obtained.

Trudeau said that "thoughts and prayers" for mass shooting victims were no longer enough and that's why his government acted.

New Zealand last year, Canada this year.

Looking forward to the day we do the same here. It's only a matter of time.
