Semi-Automatic Firearms?

[LancsLad]

This statement makes no sense. Your standard bolt-action .303 hunting rifle is just as lethal as any semi-automatic rifle on the market (legit or black market). If you can acquire a firearm you better know what you're doing.

The regs are tough. I am in a situation now where I've inherited 5 rifles and shotguns. All of them we legitimatly purchased with the proper paper work and registered under that stupid Liberal registry. I only have a possesion permit so I cannot legally take ownership of these things because I do not have an FAC to acquire. I don't want the government to take them and destroy them. Some of them are antiques... (ie. WWII Lee Enfield .303).

As I have said before , the SMLE4MK1 is a thing of beauty.

I got my FAC back in 1998 but had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it.
Cops showing up at my house interrogating me, asking about past domestic disputes......etc
Then on top I had to complete a safety course, it was ridiculous

Heres a pic of my FAC (which reminds me I have to renew it).

The course was ridiculous or the fact that you had to take it was ridiculous?

Esco, you need to get out in the sun more often, your face is pure white.

The fact I had to take is ridiculous.
Its just another attempt by the govt to make it difficult to get firearms, they dont like it when they're too easy to get.

When the cops showed up to interview me (standard FAC acquiring procedure), I could tell they were tired of the whole process and probably had better things to do (they send 2 guys btw).

I even joked that I could probably drive to Jane & Finch and get a gun in less than 5 minutes.
He just nodded and said...yep

When I got mine years back you just went to the cop shop for the interview. Some smug duty officer starts quizzing me on my familiarity with weapons.

Once I started discussing all the military weapons I had used he just grinned and said I guess you know enough, stamped my form and I was done.


Of course, that was a long time ago. Nowadays some dude that can't speak English is likely to say no in his/her/its first language.


I liked it better when law abiding people could have weapons, not just the criminals. Farkin libs.

I paid $35 for mine. $35!!! Never jams, true as true can be, easy to clean, and rips my shoulder off every time I squeeze. Bless her.

That one is indeed sweet.

I read that during the Iraq war U.S. soldiers would discard their M-16's and use AK-47's from dead Iraqi soldiers. They're said to be much more accurate than M-16's, especially in close quarter fighting

Here's mine. Wolverine ran a promo and I got the polymer furniture for free but I think I'm going to switch it back. It just doesn't have that eastern block terror look that I like so much. lol

The only problem is that its hard to find a range where you can shoot these guns near the city.

I live at Avenue and Eglinton and I'm at the range in 40 mins. Drop me a pm if you are interested.

How much of a kickback does it give????
(I'm thinking of getting an AK-47, but so far all I ever shot is .22)

Do these ranges all have those stupid safety courses you must take before becoming a member???

Or just show your FAC and fire away????

This is the closest you are going to get to an AK. AK's are prohibited by name and are the varients. (the liberals find them scary )

I'm pretty sure all ranges have the safety courses. At my club you have to shoot five times under supervision and then you're good to go. It's not a big deal and you will appreciate it much more once you are a member shooting next to a newb.

edit: Hardly any kick.
