Interesting reading, I remember using hollow tips when I was a kid. They go in small explode on contact and rip a hole on the other end almost like a shotgun. That was only using a 22 cal also.

I think the most important bill was C-17 passed over this way, it affected what was imported in my work line also on additional restrictions. I recall a offer at the time that anyone owning un-registered weapons could walk into a police station and turn them in without question. It seemed to go over well for people owning old guns they wanted to get rid of.

This is a bit of reading cut and paste but it shows over this way that they do not restrict all weapons, but if you own for example a hand gun, you have to belong to a gun club, take courses etc. Bill C-17 sought to improve on the individuals knowledge of owning a weapon, and storeing it properly so kids etc could not access it. (ie) Handguns were to be locked and in storage in the home. No loaded weapons in the house etc. I know that would not go over well in US. Underlying idea I think to was fees. Handgun clubs, ammo etc, reg fees, could be expensive. They made it difficult to own such weapons. Here is a outline of that bill:


1991-1994
Bill C-17 was introduced. It passed in the House of Commons on November 7, received Senate approval and Royal Assent on December 5, 1991, then came into force between 1992 and 1994. Changes to the FAC system included requiring applicants to provide a photograph and two references; imposing a mandatory 28-day waiting period for an FAC; a mandatory requirement for safety training; and expanding the application form to provide more background information. Bill C-17 also required a more detailed screening check of FAC applicants.Some other major changes included: increased penalties for firearm-related crimes; new Criminal Code offences; new definitions for prohibited and restricted weapons; new regulations for firearms dealers; clearly defined regulations for the safe storage, handling and transportation of firearms; and a requirement that firearm regulations be drafted for review by Parliamentary committee before being made by Governor-in-Council. A major focus of the new legislation was the need for controls on military, para-military and high-firepower guns. New controls in this area included the prohibition of large-capacity cartridge magazines for automatic and semi-automatic firearms, the prohibition of automatic firearms that had been converted to avoid the 1978 prohibition (existing owners were exempted); and a series of Orders-in-Council prohibiting or restricting most ara-military rifles and some types of non-sporting ammunition. The Bill C-17 requirement for FAC applicants to show knowledge of the safe handling of firearms came into force in 1994. To demonstrate knowledge, applicants had to pass the test for a firearms safety course approved by a provincial Attorney General, or a firearms officer had to certify that the applicant was competent in handling firearms safely. Bill C-17 added a requirement that safety courses had to cover firearms laws as well as safety issues. After the 1993 federal election, the new Government indicated its intention to proceed with further controls, including some form of licensing and registration system that would apply to all firearms and their owners. Provincial and Federal officials met several times between January and July to define issues relating to universal licensing and registration proposals. Between August 1994 and February 1995, policy options were defined for a new firearms control scheme, and new legislation was drafted.
