Actually Chris its not.
I will be getting all of my gun licences right here soon.
And now non-restricted firearms do not have to be registered. Only bad thing about pistols is that you have to have a form to take them out side of your house.
and certain rifle have to have their mags pinned to 5 rounds.
I am going to be getting the ISSC MK22 .22 Rifle. Yes its a .22 (shoots .22LR's ) but it is a semi-auto AR and its mags are either 10 or 22 rounds. As far as I am concerned 10 or 22 .22 rounds could easily drop some one fast. Especially with how fast this gun can shoot.
That and there isnt really any restrictions on shot guns.
If you actually spend the time reading up on the rules and regulations its actually not that hard to own any firearm in Canada!

Here is the video on the MK22 - such a sweet gun!
