Canadian gun laws are silly (AR-15 vs WK-180)

- Explaining the gun laws in Canada and how they apply to certain firearms. There are inconsistencies that are frustrating for the average firearm owner to deal with. There are real issues that should be dealt with and laws that should be changed to protect what little rights and freedoms we have left.
Comparing the Sig M400 with the WK-180 Gen 1
Both are 5.56 semi-automatic magazine fed rifles. One is prohibited and one is non-restricted
I think the AR-15 is one of the most practical firearms ever produced and it is frustrating that people, especially law makers believe it to be more dangerous or a firearm that deserves more restriction.
Gun makers find a way to provide a suitable firearm in a high demand market.
Well the house is now trying to ban all semi-auto centerfire rifles. It's disgusting how far out of line they are.
And they will keep trying until either 1. They succeed or 2. They are voted out and some common sense returns to law making.
We can only hope and pray.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear I didn't vote them in but they sure guaranteed I'll try and vote them out!
@@nutritionperfection that is exactly what we need, everybody needs to step up and vote this regime out.
well nothing they say or do should be legal or upheld by any one of us Canadian they are litterlly found guilty criminals and violated all our rights when they used the emergency act wrongfully and illegally how are they still in any sort of power
It’s going to happen my friend. trudeau is DONE! scary part is he can do a lot more damage to this once great country between now an 2025!
It's two woman with PTSD. Somehow instead of treating their mental health they are making their problems everyone else problem in Canada too.
Pandering to the ignorant for votes while claiming they’re taking “action” it’s frustrating.

On side note the gun community in Canada is so awesome with a bunch of top quality people like in no other hobby. I cant even tell you how many time Ive sent $1000s to people on gunpost to buy guns within 30 minutes of talking to them with zero fears of getting ripped off.
I’ve never ventured onto gunpost but I have friends who have and like you have had nothing but positive experiences.

Guns in Canada are restricted if they look scary if it looks anything like a military weapon it’s got to go even a 22LR which is ridiculous
It’s like getting a speeding ticket because your car looks fast.

@@hunter5369 They don't deserve it, dude. That's messed-up... You should know that our revolution was hardly a universally embraced idea when we were English back in 1775.

And by your reckoning any perceived transgressions or contrary opinions should be payed for by their descendants even 250 years on(?)...

@@charleshoward5465 very soviet if me 😂😂😂😂, been following the Canadian issue for some time and let me tell you I watched a video of one of their politicians and one on the side of gun owners saying that he was proud to have left the US and of being a loyalists to the British crown, dude believe me most people in Canada live the monarchy and that system same as people in Australia and new Zealand and well look at their gun laws they all follow on the footsteps of the British, they have what I call a loyalist mentality they just bend over and take it ftom their governments, just, stating facts, God bless America and our forefathers for having the guts to stand up to those British monarchs and for showing us that freedom is worth fighting for 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@hunter5369 if you look at western provinces (more rural) they are starting to move away from federal rule.
The monarchy has nothing to do with it. This current government is pandering to gun control groups in order to take a “tough on crime” approach. Meanwhile none of their rules affect criminals.
Thanks for watching
Californian here, appears you have 4 evil features allowed that we are restricted to. Those are the A2 flash hider, fore grip, pistol grip, and adjustable stock. I still don’t know what’s the difference between those two are. I sort of built a rifle for each of my kids because I don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to have them. Tools against oppression and tyranny.
Oh boy you Californians are really hammered regarding the restrictions. The restrictions make no sense and serve no purpose other than grandstanding and theatrics for “certain” political parties. I feel your pain and pray for common sense.
Buy them while you can my friend!
Thanks for watching.
Why would you stay in a Woke Fascist Totalitarian Dummycrat liberal state like California ? Gavin Newsom is the worst type of Nazi there is.
Move from California it's lost if you want freedom move othe wise you fucked yourself. Next thing you know, they make you give up your kid's or guns move.
5 features! Thing that goes UP!
Move if you can, at least there is still some freedom states in the United States.
Imagine what they will do to you once they take your guns from you. I left Canada for good when found out that their gun law forbid a legal gun owner to use his own gun to protect his own life and/or his family from an attacker. This is so ridiculous and I realized I came to worse country than the one I escaped from.
It’s a sad state of affairs, we can only hope there is some semblance of intelligence in parliament.
Thanks for watching.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Where Trudeau is PM, there will be no intelligence or common sense in that Parliament.
@@miroslavm2553I fear you are correct 😢
Our laws do not forbid gun owners from using a gun to protect themselves against threats of lethal force. They forbid gun owners from owning one for the sole purpose of self defense but not from using a firearm owned for other purposes. People can and do get self defense cases dropped all the time. This is because our crown prosecution will drop cases that aren't guaranteed to win as they are afraid of their loss becoming case law. Then they quietly sweep the case under the rug so other Canadian's don't hear about the fact that people do get these cases dropped.
@@Yukimaru0 So really all you did is reinforce how stupid your gun laws are. You shouldn't need any reason past it's for protection hunting is just a byproduct.
Some dummy ran over and killed some people with a truck. Maybe we should ban all trucks instead. Or we could just hold that dummy accountable and acknowledge that the truck was simply a tool
Just have to limit over capacity trucks lol
You've proved without any doubt that politicians have shit for brains.
I agree strongly with licensing and laws around locking them up and keeping them out of sight, like the old rules (RPAL holder here). But the new laws brought in were purely for political reasons and were not fact based.
Yup I agree 100%. The current government is just pandering to certain groups and spreading fear and misinformation.
You agree, but others don't. Why isn't there the freedom of the individual to be able to keep their property how they see fit. An adult doesn't need someone else telling them how to live their life. I could understand locking them up if you're going to be away from your home on vacation, or with children around, but children can be taught safe firearms handling and to respect those rules. Alot of Canadians have a need to want to be told what to do by their socialist handlers, the brainwashing is profound.
Talking about hogs, I heard that Canada hired people from US to hunt hogs. They were able to bring their ARs and pretty sure they had a chopper.
Hogs may be a real problem here in Canada especially in the prairies in the very near future. The AR platform is a perfect solution.
Not sure how the ARs would be allowed in, sporting competitions cannot get an exemption. I do have friends that have gone to Texas to hunt hogs from choppers though.
Thanks for watching.
They hired a private company from the US to take care of a deer problem using suppressed ARs, night vision, boats, and helicopters on Vancouver Island. But we can’t have anything.
It was dear in British Columbia
such a joke that they sent that money out of the country. i hate our politicians
It was deer. Canadian hunters would have done it for free.
thanks for this video and for voicing our frustrations here in Canada

It's not that you can't own a 5.56 semi-auto, it's that you can't own a good one.

Consistency would be nice 🧐
we should ban all knifes in canada, since people used that to commit crime
All knives, hammers, baseball bats etc….it makes no sense🤷♂️

Time for a change in government, can’t happen fast enough.
Yeah I totally agree, enough is enough
@Jackofalltrades7 enough was enough quite a while ago!!!
Yeah I agree for sure
My father was a collector and they ruined his hobby with the long gun registry in the 90’s, I have faced the same fait now as a sport shooter, half my collection is under seizure like you said.
I wish I could say that stories like yours are rare and one of. Unfortunately they are all too common now as the government continues it’s ridiculous gun grab from lawful owners to chase rising crime statistics.
We need an election
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear like you said people who arnt elected officials are making the laws, here in Alberta we have some hope but it’s always 4 years away from everything being undone, just like when Harper was out our freedoms have slowly been taken away.
By looking at the two, the WK just looks cheaper. I was in the field engineers in the late 80's when the military still used the FAL with the walnut stocks... I loved that rifle and wish I could have one. 35 years ago, and I still know her serial number, 5L4811
I too started in the military back in the 80s. The FN was an amazing firearms I was deeply saddened when we went to the C-7 but I understand the shift. I wish I could have picked up one of those fine Belgian made firearms.
We don’t really have any rights in Canada under Turdo.
This government has been chipping away at them for the last eight years.
I just got my rpal, is it a caliber issue as well? I see all semi autos are .22lr, 5.56N, or 7.62x39... no one makes a useable sporting rifle like a 6.5 Creedmore, or even 7.62N. I would love something fun to range, but I can also take out for Deer or Elk. 7.62x39 just has no range. It's fine to kill people but even for a deer, you need at least 1k ft/lbs and it has a deer/elk range of only 120 yards and a 7.62N is about 600yards
And yes here in Saskatchewan, there is a large boar problem... they are almost open season, just not at night
5.56 is pretty much the standard for Modern Sporting rifles, back before ARs were prohibited you could get an AR 10 chambered in .308 but as it was determined to be a variant of the AR 15 it also went prohib. There are a few bull pup designs that are in .308 but they are really pricey.
The AR-18 or Wk-180 is just not a “reliable” firearm yet, pistons break etc. as for the 7.62x39 literally hundreds if not thousands of big game have been taken with the SKS when it was cheap and a viable hunting option, you’re right though ballistics go to shit at the 300 meter mark. I have a Ruger Ranch in 7.62x39 that I did a video on, love that firearm, I took it hunting this year and downed a 10 point buck, didn’t go 50 feet.
Being in the prairies I can understand why you’d want some legs on your cartridge, Browning BAR (.308 or 300 win mag) is a great semi for hunting but it is not a sporting rifle 🥲
My issue with gun laws here and in the US is that the people making firearms laws know nothing at all about firearms, and they are feeding misinformation to the public. I’ve been looking at a 9mm carbine for a little while and discussing that with friends and family. When I mention that it’s semi-auto more than half said, “whoa, what do you need a machine gun for? Is that even legal?” So I explain the difference between full and semi-auto and they still ask about assault style this and that. So I try a similar discussion to this one. I show them a traditional wood stocked hunting rifle and an AR to explain that they are functionally identical. Watching the reality begin to settle in is priceless.
“But… that’s stupid. Plastic is the only difference?”
“That’s what we’ve been saying for decades.”
I’m pretty sure every firearm law in Canada was written by 🤡🤡🤡. Having said that we were able to live with most.
You have to be very careful nowadays when talking about murder weapons lol and yes explain at every opportunity the truthful nature of the law and the tool you are using for your sport.
Might I suggest the Kodiak k-9 carbine, love mine (check out the video). 😁
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear the Kodiak looks nice. Our issue is coyotes. We hear them all night, every night and we’re starting our chickens in the spring. I’m torn between a 9mm carbine and .22 magnum. Both seem up to the task. Is that something you’ve had to deal with?
I'm just thankful that we have nicer guns than the gen 1 wk180 now
Would like to get my hands on the Siberian and try it out.
Checking out the Gen 2 soon. Will post impressions.
Thanks for watching.
It's not silly, it's designed to take all guns, begin with AR-15
There are many words I would have liked to describe the current governments actions but you know someone is always watching lol.
Thanks for watching.
YOU ARE 💯 PERCENT CORRECT
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Tyrannical, evil, disgusting. There you go!
I often state that to understand Canadian gun laws you have to understand a “Feel Good Law”. A politician needs to be re-elected and they must impress the voters by changing a law, the appearance of doing something, to fix a problem so voters “Feel Good” so they will vote for them again. But the law doesn’t do anything. It makes people feel good but doesn’t do anything. That is how to explain Canadian gun laws to a person who does not understand guns. It does nothing, but it does make people feel good. Your video made me feel good because it explains the frustration we feel as legal gun owners.
Very well said, the law makers have made a ton of feel good legislation over the past 8 years.
It is frustrating to say the least.

The legal users of these firearms are not responsible for gun violence. I don't understand the need to ban these. It's a waste of money. Since the assault style weapons ban in 2020 these weapons still remain in the hands of the owners. Their hasn't been one crime committed with one. How much proof does anyone need that legal owners are not the problem?
We all know that the current government does not base its decisions on any statistical evidence. They do not need to show any results, it’s all about the feels and providing the ignorant public with misinformation to grab votes.
My only hope is that there is change before too much more damage is done. ☹️
I want to say so much! But you all already know. Its not about "public safety". Its about the disarmament of the Canadian public. Brother you make ALL the right points and they are all valid! Hopefully Poilievre gets in sooner than later! And he keeps his word about our firearms rights! But thank you for your time and effort with this vid!
Thank you for the kind words. We are tired of being held accountable for others actions, we are tired of constantly being the bad guy when 99% of us have done nothing wrong.
We are all praying and hoping that the next government makes good on their promises, nobody can be as bad as the liberals.
Amen! This country is sad, have you shot the wk181 gen 2? I would recommend 😎 much better than gen 1
To be honest Craig I don’t shoot the wk very often, I have used it hunting but I’m going to change that this summer.

@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear I have a wk180 gen 1,i've shot arround 1200 round,no issues so far,no jam,no misfire
The HK G11 was such a public safety threat that it needed to be singled out BY NAME for prohibition.
It wouldn't have ever been on the radar had it not been in a movie.
THAT is the embodiment of how we write gun laws in Canada.
Absolutely, our current government writes “feel good” laws, not designed for purpose just to give certain groups the “feels”😡
In 1919, the German government, in response to the Treaty of Versailles, ordered the German people to turn over all firearms and ammunition. Anyone found in possession of a weapon would face imprisonment and a fine. The citizens were disarmed to prevent further aggression and to prevent government upheaval during these fractious times.
History is a great teacher, provided you apply the lessons learned.
Nowadays it’s all about “feel good” laws, they have no affect on the “problem” (rising crime) but they give certain people the feel goods 🤔
History can be a great teacher provided we actually look at the lessons to be learned.

i have gsg 16 22lr and winchester pump action 12 ga. i need you advice that what should i get next what is likely to be banned in future ?
The next firearm that I would buy is an SKS, not sure if they will be banned (probably), the prices are going up and the good ones are hard to find.
Eventually if the current government continues all Center fire semi autos will be banned so any of them 😢
Btw good choice on the GSG it’s a lot of fun for plinking.

@@sharpshiellyeah but $$$$, too rich for my blood.
SKS, the current Chinese models are brand new from many dealers currently (late 70's production but unissued). They are much nicer than precious PRC imports. Otherwise a bolt action in 308 would cover many roles....
And m14 is illegal :( what’s the difference?!
You know what? I still would prefer to be assaulted from distance with one of those than Ruger .22LR with 110 rounds drum magazine 🤣
By the way, MG42 does not have 5 rounds restriction, since it’s fed with tape
The M-14 is an amazing firearm and has been the go to ranch gun for many a farmer for generations (varmint control).
Where can I find a MG42😁
Just bought my gen 2 180c. They will never be able to institute any buy back program. 16 billion dollars estimated as of yesterday, October 10th 2023. Tredeau must go.
I really like the look of the Gen 2 it’s so much more complete.
I agree 100 percent they will keep spinning their wheels on the “buyback”.
Maybe my AR can come out and go to the range one day.
whats best AR alternative
That’s a tricky question because none of the alternatives stack up to the AR-15 IMHO.
I guess if it’s .556, the WK-180 is decent (with some issues). The Raven is good but it’s twice the price. The TAVOR 95 is great but it’s “weird” and costs a lot.
Really for the money you can’t beat the TM-22 for plinking and coolness and of course the cost, but alas it’s a .22.
Hopefully we won’t need an alternative soon 🙏🙏🙏
Honestly they are just both black rifles that shoot the same round. I am glad we are still able to shoot the 180's but would be nice if the 15's were legal again.
I’m right there with you.
The 18 is an interesting firearm and the newer gens are getting the bugs and quirks worked out however, the 15 has decades of R&D and lessons learned behind it.
It is rare you see a broken 15🤷♂️
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear My 180 has been pretty bulletproof so far and I'm shooting a later issued Gen 1. No jams and I've probably put almost 1000 rounds through it at least. Works well with M855.
@@winstonallen9590some rifles have been very good, people have shot thousands of rounds with no issues. On the other hand some people have claimed catastrophic failure on their first outings…..quality control maybe.
Maybe you got a really good one😅, best of luck.
If you're limited to 10 rounds, you can't do much better than an SKS. Ask the Vietnamese. If you're limited to 5 rounds, then maybe a shotgun makes more sense. The argument between AR platform vs AK or your Kodiak AR18 is a matter of personal preference. The AR here tends to be the choice of thumb over bore, anime watching, first person shooter gamer types who do mag dumps at 7M and consider "marksmanship" 50% hits on steel. But in all truth, a Lee Enfield does a lot for as old as it is. Regardless, infringement of the right to bear arms is tyranny.
The 10 rounds law is a bit weird how it’s currently applied, the SKS for instance is capped at 5 rounds because it’s Center fire and semi-automatic. At the same time an AR platform may be used with a 10 round pistol magazine or a regular AR mag capped at 5 rounds?????
I do like the AR because of its modular approach and plethora of aftermarket accessories allowing the user to modify for their personal preference.
I agree that a spray and pray is not the best approach and I prefer a precise platform. I own a .303 and absolutely love it (gotta love British firearms).
A patrol type rifle (bolt or lever) seems to be a popular choice for Canadians because of the various nonsensical laws. I have a Ruger Rancher I absolutely love, stay tuned for multiple appreciation videos on that platform.
Thanks for watching.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear
Yeah, 5 round limit is definitely crazy restrictive. A No. 4 rechambered or rebarreled to 7.62x54R gives it an edge. Rebarreled and converted into an L42 clone makes it a decent sniper type rifle. But the No. 4 even in .303B is a great DMR.
It’s ridiculous to define anything over 5 rounds as high capacity.
Im a bit of a purist when it comes to the Lee Enfield as I only own one and the price has climbed to the point of modifying is not practical also there is an extreme shortage of rounds for the .303.
I have a Ruger Rancher in 7.62x39 that is crazy accurate for what it is and paired with a LVO @ 1-6. It has slowly become my favourite range gun.
There are quite a few great choices out there that won’t break the bank, pistol caliber carbines or Levers are great choices as well.
Thanks again!!’
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear
I would never bubba an SMLE or No. 4 (or any complete military rifle), but there are plenty of rifles on racks bubba already wrecked in terms of collectibility. Some remilitarize here. Others try to do Griffin & Howe types of sporters usually not very well. But the bubba rack in a gunshop is a always a good place to look for a "project": no, you'll never recoup your money from a project, but you will be able to make quite an effective and quasi-accurate firearm if you do your homework. Ruger M77 Scout is a cheaper way to have a decent "patrol" rifle out of the box. Not as fast as an Enfield but still quite effective. As far as semi-autos are concerned, if you're capped at 5 rounds then a shotgun might be your best bet. Although you all did have VZ58s "non-restricted" for a while and I believe they had 10 round "pistol mags" available. In the end, either you deliver a loss to Trudeau and his authoritarian flock or you'll end up with UK/Irish style gun control. As in having to have a permit to purchase an airsoft weapon which isn't painted in clown colors after waiting three months for approval and going in for an interrogation at the cop shop. Having the right to bear arms means you will have the possibility of defending all your other rights. Without the right to bear arms Trudeau and his crowd of pink triangle fascists will impose their will upon you and make you sing in chains. That's what Biden is trying to do in the US.
@@rmichaelzachary8574sadly I’m about 15 years too late to find an abundance of SMLEs modified or not. Quite a few small firearm shops have closed due to the state of things here additionally those that have half a clue are holding onto every firearm they have so there aren’t too many trades or consignment firearms.
It is a sad state of affairs and we are doing everything we can to keep our traditions and pastimes alive but I fear they are numbered.
I’ve never been disappointed with anything from Ruger but as far as picking up a specific model availability I’d not the greatest for the above mentioned reasons and the lack of imports from the US.
Oh well it is what it is.

2. Less chance of hearing loss for shooters.
There are so many countries that encourage use of surpressor s for hunters.
Not Canada, our government thinks we’ll all turn into assassins 🤣
I would definitely use that AR-15 for hunting, love the flexibility to make my firearm fit and work for me, I also don’t have to worry about damaging my wood stock while going through the woods whether it raining or snowing or just walking
If only we could, sadly it has been labeled as some kind of military death machine and the people believe that’s what it is.
We are left with similar firearms that lack the “polished” product that is the AR.
Thanks for watching.
Ultimate varmint tool
Well , I am happy to see that i'm not the only canadian that rants on youtube about canadian pathetic gun laws! Haha God bless man! Liked the video!
Haha I think there are quite a few of us, stay safe and pray for change 🙏
Holy Shit! You’re in Quebec? Those were SQ’s that came to your house to harass you over your kid talking of hunting with you at school? You handled that even better than I originally thought then!
Provincial police can be hmmmm let’s say challenging🤔
Does the dog get shot?? Lol just kidding
You’re not the first one to ask, and no he’s fine….he thinks he runs the show 😝
All of these firearms laws have no base to them, they are a gross over step of civil liberties and contradict themselves heavily. Thankfully there are still a few "tactical" semi auto 5.56's we can own but the markets limited. The keltec PLR16 is alright but has its own shortcomings same with the RDB. Most if not all the AR180B clones are a burning pile of trash and are ridiculously expensive and the few that are decent such as the Crusader templar Gen 2 or the Sterling R18 MK2 are overpriced as hell. The Benelli MR1 is alright but has some reliability issues along with pricing, scarcity and lack of mod options. The Raven Platinum is a good rifle but is rather scarce and the resell price is atrocious for what the rifle is, thankfully the company is taking some steps to make a lower cost version of the rifle at cost of cutting out features. The Macabee SLR and ATRS series of rifles are in a legal gray zone cause of the 2020 bans and are generally hard to find and expensive. The T97 (any gen) is no longer imported and the price of a cheap CCP made bullpup are astronomically high. CZ brens are nice but also pricey and good luck finding a NR Bren under 4000. and that leaves us with the last few guns such as the OG AR180B Rifles, the B&T APC Series, the Bushmaster ACR, the Valmet M76, Famae SG543 and all of these guns have issues, they are all expensive as hell the lowest being 3000 if your lucky, they are generally rare as hell, parts can be difficult to find and some rifles like the Famae and Valmet have Mags that are difficult to find and expensive. Im sure there are some guns i missed like K&M M17S or some other rifles that are unique on Gunpost, but these rifles generally suffer from one or more of the same issues as the other guns; quality, cost, availability, parts availability, modability etc. In short the AR really was the affordable do all for canadian shooters, but we lost that right by letting a drama teacher run the Government.
100% I couldn’t agree more. It is a very sad state we live in.
God be willing we will see a change soon to our government and 🙏🙏 he makes some changes as he has promised.
I thought 10 round mags were ridiculous lol
They are ridiculous but better than a five round 😄
Criminals don't follow laws... its that simple
@@natemorga a fact that is lost on the current government. 🤔
Very good knowledgeable, common sense information in your video! Hopefully, when Poilievre becomes PM, he will sign an executive order to make the AR platform non-restricted again! 😊
@@DaveNanan that would be amazing.
Thank you
SHHHHHH dont let them know cause next they'll come after AR180 based guns.
What really gets me is they go on and on about how powerful the .223/5.56 round is, completely neglecting the fact that most hunting cartridges are more powerful, moving faster and are heavier, not even realizing that its considered a varmint round. I'm no expert or anything but the .223 is just a slightly heavier round traveling much faster is it not?
I'm not giving my guns up. Not happening, I went through the courses, I paid the money, I had the background checks, I got both my PAL and Restricted PAL and I'll be damned if I let the left make us criminals for enjoying something that should be a god given right. Not everyone has the advantage of living in a city where cops are 10 minutes away.
I hope to god that we can get Pierre in there and have the CCFR or people like you and me convince them that it is a miscarriage of justice to punish the public for the crimes of the mentally ill.
I'm fine with having to do the courses, I'm fine with the background checks but we need to stop this nonsense that people shouldn't be able to own guns like the AR15 platform, the FN SCAR, ACR, Robinson Arms XCR, or any other black or FDE rifle made in the last 30 years just because you think they could cause damage. Guess what? If I wanted to cause massive damage and hurt a lot of people guns wouldn't be the way I would do it. And for the record I would never ever do anything like that but just so people can get in through there head there are far easier ways to create something that could cause mass destruction and death than an AR with 5 rounds in it. And thats another thing, the whole 5 round limit is total bullshit. I should be allowed to stick as many rounds as I want in my mags.
The only reason these laws are being put in place is so that they can start to make and put in the real laws that are going to fuck over Canadians to benefit the upper-class and Trudeau's family, or so they can fun the proxy war going on in Ukraine so they can try and overthrow and destabilize Russia indirectly all while we suffer gas prices, food prices, home prices and job wages that are simply unsustainable and guess what? There aint a fuckin thing you will be able to do about it, you try to protest they will arrest you and throw you in jail, strip you of your right to vote so that they can keep the people they want it. How you going to stop it? They are the ones with the military, they have the body guards with full auto ARs and submachine guns, they are the ones with the ability to eradicate dissent by any means necessary.
A government disarming its population is an extremely bad sign of what is to come if Trudeau or the Liberals period are allowed to rule over Canadians like they have been. Personally I think we should break ties to the Britain and make our own independence and make damn sure we have a 2nd amendment so we can have the freedoms we deserve and the ability to fight against tyranny. But that's just my opinion. Either way, for god sakes just leave gun owners alone. ARs are used for hunting, I will be using my Cru Arms Temp 556 for hunting, plinking and sport shooting. And of course home defense cause ain't no way someones gonna come into my house and take the stuff I've sacrificed the most important thing in my life for, time!
There are no facts to support current gun control laws.
We can do what we can, educate those around us that will listen.
Thanks for watching and pray for common sense.
Don’t worry this fall the wk180 is going to be gone too :(
Let’s hope not. I fear you may be right though.
Thanks for watching.
What’s the difference? None whatsoever if they’re both prohibited.
Yeah they’ll get there, unless a change is made.
I couldn’t agree with you more!!
We all share that hope for better right?
Nice toys!. (bring your dog onto the scene..seems cute 😂)
Thank you, I think there is a video where he makes his debut 😄
Education is key for the gun community.
Because people are scared of what they don’t know or understand.
And unfortunately our government feeds us so much miss information.
For there own political gain.
Cheers
Absolutely, we all need to do our part to “educate” the masses when we have the chance.
Our government does not represent all of its citizens 😡
good job, people like you are the ones that inform the government, that thing is now on a list
That’s not how that works, there are special interest groups that are pushing to have all semi-automatic centre fire rifles prohibited because they don’t know what it means only that the majority look scary. It is up to us to educate the public and show them that current gun control measures are silly and not supported by statistics.
Thanks for watching.
Alberta is looking at making a new police force so we will see if this changes
Alberta is really shaking things up, will be interesting to see. The Yukon is creating its own firearms act, removing themselves from federal jurisdiction 🤔
Guess the Raven is our best bet right now.
PS How are you still allowed to have the SIG?
The Raven looks very solid with good reviews. It’s so pricey though.
That’s a very complicated issue.
The liberal government put out the OIC to ban the AR-15 among other “safety concern firearms” before they had a system in place to “confiscate” them. No company is willing to wade through that red tape and backlash so they stay with the owners until it’s hopefully repealed or they figure it out. 🤷♂️
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Yeah you get what you pay for (and then some lol) for Canadian stuff. And so the whole AR ban is more or less the same as the pistol buying freeze or whatever they did. Are you allowed to shoot the SIG on the range?
@@raineoffyreyeah it’s another hair brained liberal mess.
The Sig cannot go anywhere, no shooting no service at gunsmith nothing. Unless of course I want to have it deactivated or destroyed.
The guns in your hands are the only reason they haven't gone full steam ahead...
That and they’re worried about other things at the moment.
Can you not buy an AR 15 in Canada? I’m confused? What about hand gun
We used to be able to buy an AR in Canada but it was a “restricted” firearm, additional licence requirement and where and when you can use them. Now they are prohibited for sale (since 2020).
Recently the government banned all handgun transactions, no purchase or transfer or import. 🥲
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear thank you
@@TheSodFather09I should say that this is true at the time of answering, who knows tomorrow😅
@theguywithbeardgunsandgear one more quick question if you have time. In Canada are citizens allowed to carry a firearm outside of your private property into the public? Can citizens have a firearm in their motor vehicle or when shopping ect . More for personal protection. ???
@@TheSodFather09handguns are only to be transported to and from the range. Shotguns and rifles could be transported to a “reasonable” destination it has to be in a carrier and your trunk (if able). Using a firearm for self defence in Canada will usually not work out for you. 😮
Sorry for your troubles.
Thank you, these are frustrating times. We can only hope that cooler heads prevail.
Thanks for watching.
You should make mpre videos good topics and good rythm to talk
Haha
Thanks for that I needed a laugh
Thanks also for watching
Its kinda crazy looking at the differences between American and Canadian firearms laws. I find some of the laws in the states silly but they dont come close to what you northerner folks gotta deal with.
You got that right, you almost need to be a lawyer to interpret the application of laws.
Thanks for watching
America has 50 states and each state has its own gun laws and some states have cities with their own gun laws, for instance NY gun laws vs. NYC gun law where nobody can own any guns!
If you happen to live in a not-gun-friendly state like California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, NY, Massachusetts, New Jersey, etc., you can easily move to a gun-friendly state like Texas, Florida, Alaska (too cold!), TN, ND, SD, MT, SC, NC, etc.
In a nutshell, Canada has got one federal gun law (1995 Firearms Act) vs. America's 50+ state and city gun laws!
Be well.
I understand the point you make, but if you hold up WK180 (or any other Non-R or Non prohibited semi) and say "This is just the same as that one, same cartridge, magazine, and similar operation, so why isn't this banned too?", you might just find your own video being used to ban EVERY semi rifle and shotgun still available.
Just saying...
It could be used for that purpose you are right however, there are many other videos with way more credible than I that make the same point.
The firearms are similar but different AR-15 platform vs AR-18.
I was aware that I was treading on material that some would object to and I’m okay with that, my aim was to point out the futility of current government current attempts to control crime while basing their laws on looks and feels. Most of us can see the problem and how to fix it, sadly it continues as do the attempts to ban all firearms (eventually).
I know what you’re saying and yes it is risky.
Thanks for watching enjoy the exchange.
The wk180 as is, is a piece of crap compared to the other. And uses a bastard rifle length barrel/carbine length gas port.
BUT, a little work dealing with the overgassing and sloppy fit drastically improves the rifle. Capable of 1-1.25moa is a very useful hunting rifle. IMO it would just be more handy with a forward assist.
It is missing a forward assist😜. It’s an ok rifle perhaps Gen 3 will be the winner 🙏
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear after putting in the work they can be decent, I took mine to 800yds on 2moa steel and it was fine for that. I just have doubts of a gen3 fixing the issues as I don't really see anyone complaining about the slop between the lower and upper, and KD denying that there is an overgassing issue. An aftermarket option for an adjustable gas valve is available but is so undersized in the gas block that the rifle is still overgassed when the valve is shut off. I had to build my own valve that fit properly to adjust to proper gassing. Just 2 of the biggest faults that I see in the gen2 that I don't see being fixed as the rifle is more meant to be a mall ninja range toy than a precision tool.
@@NorthRiverGuide I hope that the extra money they are charging to make something for the market will go towards R&D and we can have a platform that both looks and does the job.
I miss my Sig M400🥲
Y’all got better rifles than people in nyc
So far yes🤣. Now you need to get a background check for ammo in NY.
I understand the frustration you feel about these stupid impractical and unreasonable gun laws, but when I see videos about how "this legal rifle is the same as the un-legal, banned rifle", in my mind you're just telling them, the anti gun groups, "oh, you missed this one"...
I can see how you might think that and there is always that possibility however, the aim of these groups hasn’t changed and that is the banning of all firearms. When they ban all semis they’ll go after something else and so on.
The laws are ridiculous and statistically serve no purpose.
Well said keep fighting.
Educating the ignorant one at a time!!
Thanks for watching
Ive owned a few 180 platforms, they are great for learning how to clear jams, that's about it.... yes they are both black and scary guns, that's about the end of their similarities.
Yeah the AR 18 platform is much more needy than the 15 but that’s all we have if we want something that “looks” the part.
Maybe someday🧐
After this video, the wk180 is gonna be next, and soon with all guns sigh
Not how the classification of firearms works.
Don’t you know they look at the firearm for 5 minutes, if it looks scary….then it’s banned.
Subscribed! 🔥🇨🇦
Thank you good to see some canucks with similar interests.
Be careful about telling them there's no difference between the two - it might encourage them to try harder to ban all of them
They can’t try harder. 😜
One is AR-15, the other AR-18 so not related but still black and scary😆
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear My point exactly, lol If they're willing to ban airsoft guns that resemble real ones, who knows how far they want to go, lol.
@@cherminatorDRoh it’s not hard to guess, they want them all😢
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Well, guns are thcary, you see
@@cherminatorDRwe’ve all had that discussion right.
In Australia they are banning guns because they look dangerous eg look like an AR even if it's a bolt action. Too bad alot of target rifles have an AR style to them nowadays because that type of ergonomics and rifle chassis (most allow for a floating barrel. Easy bi pod, optics attachments) are good for accuracy. It's ridonkulous mate!
Yeah here too, laws based on looks and feelings.
You can't have eather in Mexico
One of the many reasons I don’t live there.
Our gun laws are made by people with no understanding about our gun laws or firearms culture in the first place. As a minimum they should have to go through our firearms licensing courses before they are allowed to even speak on the matter!
You’d think they would at least research a bit before they make laws that affect a large part of the population.
@theguywithbeardgunsandgear That would mean they actually have some common sense and a head on there shoulders that they use for thinking not just talking out there ass.
Yeah I know, wishful thinking😅😅😅
I’m not seeing why the one is legal and the other isn’t. What’s their justification for this? Imagine banning kitchen knives because some crazy kid used it for a crime. Imagine banning cars because someone got hit by one. This whole situation stinks to high heaven.
One is Armalite 15 platform and the other is Armalite 18 design they don’t share many parts thus one is not a murder weapon?
You are incorrect. In Canada we do not have rights, we have privileges that can be revoked at any time at the whim of the government
In my opinion it's going to get a lot lot worse before it gets any better. Governments aren't too good at recognizing people's rights
Sadly I believe you are correct, chipping away a little at a time until there is nothing left🥲
hogs have been here for a long time
@@TheMrNiceGuy223 yeah I know they are out west but they aren’t near the problem that they are in states like Texas…..yet
I stopped talking to my father over this gun ban he was so brain washed into believing that guns are bad
Yeah it can definitely raise emotions. There is a lot of bad information and let’s be honest the government has a plan and getting people to believe it’s BS is a big part of it.
I hope he comes to his senses and realizes that we are not the problem.
Don't worry, the wk180 rifle will be a prohib soon enough if we don't get rid of the coalition of weasels, Trudeau and Singh.
The “dynamic” duo will do us in.
Even before it wasn't good
There were certain aspects of it that made sense.
Now we have complete and utter nonsense.
We need a new government.
if these ar 15 become legal again and whit hope non restricted im gonna build a mk12 clone for long range shooting .
Sadly I don’t think that will happen, you never know but it doesn’t seem likely.
These Canadian made firearms that are AR-18 based seem to be our only hope, there are some fantastic models available but the price….ouch.

@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear if conservative come back to power it will , maybe not be unrestricted but at last the ban will be removed , trudeau will not stay forever and one day they gonna win so
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear if conservative win next election the ban gonna be remove and gun laws revisited to make sense , and because everyone tired of trudeau im pretty sure he will be gone next election
A gun is a gun they all do the same effect. The person operating is the problem not the gun.
If only a certain government would clue in.

Yup I know I feel the pain still. Except of course if you’re indigenous.
All gun laws are silly!

Would you ever consider moving to Merica. Because also like Canada we have some seriously out of touch politicians. But that Tredeau guy is a real piece of work and the mis gendering laws and many more different agender's they got going on. OMG Bro to se how much things have changed for the worse in my lifetime. Blows my mind.

Bruh, the Government is going to see 6:43 and use those points as to why the WK-180 should be prohibited LOL
They’ve already tried, will likely try again😁
Lets face it they want them all before the collapse happens here in Canada. It's pathetic and they lie about everything.
I can’t tell if they’re lying or if they really that ignorant 🤣
Likely a combination. Regardless they have a very dystopic future planned for us and that requires us being disarmed in order to achieve full control.@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear
So sad and disgusting
That is what happens when politicians make gun control policy based on the “feels”.
Thanks for watching
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear To be honesy guys, if your Canadian pick up a Smith & Wesson FPC. I know its 9MM not 223/556 but hear me out. It's $1000, comed with 3 mags and a bag. It folds in half to 18.6", and the best part is its frustration free. Dead reliable after thousands of rounds. After owning so many Norinco, Kodiak 180s gen 1 + gen2 , other 9MM pccs such as the TNW ASR and now this BLC srv2, its SO refreshing to have a lightweight reliable gun that holds 10 rounds and has a modern MLOK/ Picatinny profile. The trigger and ergos are great too right out of the box. Just trust me, if you want a gun that's worth the money and are sick and tired of all the shitty guns we have on our market, get the SW FPC and enjoy life.
@@justauserI have heard good things about the S&W 9 mil carbine. I need to get my hands on one and check it out.
I recently picked up a Kodiak K-9 and it seems pretty good so far.
I’ll update when I get a few more rounds down range.
Thanks for watching.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Honestly it's the only gun ive acquired recently that really puts a smile on my face. It's a perfect throw it in a backpack and go hiking gun. Lightweight, dead reliable, can store 2 mags in the butt stock, folding, I mean it has it all. No offense but Canadian made guns suck ass compared to American manufacturing. The difference in R&D and build quality (most of the time) is just night and day. Servicing 2 million PAL holders is just too niche
Ever notice how it wasn't until trudeau's sugar daddy down south began using terms like "assault rifle", "military grade assault weapon", "weapons of war", "made for the battlefield", "designed to kill the most number of people in the shortest time possible", "no one needs" etc., that trudeau also began using the EXACT same terminology?
Also notice how shortly after sugar daddy B said the infamous "A 9 millimetre will blow out your lungs!" that almost right away, trudeau and friends completely banned handguns outright?
Either it's just some really strange cosmic coincidence or they're both working together.
I'd go for the latter.
As for the WK-180, I bet if the next gen comes out with an "ar-style" charging handle on the top of the receiver and/or added a forward assist, Blair himself would burst an artery.
Clowns all of them 🤣
Don’t forget that it’s painted black. Everyone knows that if you paint something black, that immediately increases its lethality by 700%.
Here’s our biggest problem. We have politicians who don’t own guns making gun laws based on emotions and fear and not stats.
In 2022 they wanted to ban two versions of the same gun because one had a black polymer chassis and the other had wood. It was literally the same firearm inside. And if that happened and you had the wood chassis, you’d have a non restricted and prohibited firearm… at the SAME time.
It’s none sense.
I agree 100% that it is based on appearances.
I think they have a firearm fashion parade and just vote thumbs up or down when it gets walked down the aisle. 😝
The mini-14 is a perfect example, I mean some psycho used it for a terrible crime and it goes on the list. How does a firearm go from unrestricted to prohibited?
Now the liberals have dug themselves such a deep hole that not even they can wrangle their way clear and appease their il-informed voter base.
On a side note I’ve watched some of your videos, very good stuff.
