The RCMP has told owners to turn in what the force is calling fully automatic military surplus firearms after hundreds were misidentified and allowed into Canada for commercial sale.

    Ya, good catch. The firearms in question were manufactured as full auto, but have been converted into semi automatic. That’s not enough to make them legal, I guess.

      Because it’s likely trivial to convert them back to fully auto, whereas doing so to a weapon that was never intended to be fully auto is likely more difficult.

        Yeah but that would be illegal so no one would do that right
