Among other things, all handguns chambered for a .25 or .32-calibre cartridge, or that have a barrel shorter than 4 1/4"/106mm are prohibited, there is no handgun hunting or CCW, and you have to have licences and permits up the ying-yang to be able to target-shoot at a range; some provinces are worse than others for this, and Quebec is universally regarded as one of the WORST provinces to try to own a gun in. All firearms MUST be unloaded and locked in a safe or trigger-locked when they're not actually being used, and if you shoot someone in self-defence (no matter how clear-cut) you WILL be charged. The government can and has arbitrarily prohibited entire categories of firearms simply because they "look mean", or because they're RELATED to something that "looks mean" (for example, Saiga shotguns, because the design is based on the AK.) All semi-auto longarms may not have a mag capacity any greater than 5 rounds (Garand exempted), and if they have a barrel any shorter than 18.5"/470mm, they're considered to be in the same class as handguns, and treated as such. If you value common sense or human rights at all, you should avoid this country like the plague. Historically, our government has shoved a new universal "gun control" law down our throats every 5 years, just in time for the election, when they're busy sucking for votes in Toronto and Montreal.
