      Really? Because I see legitimate made weapons at Comic Expos a lot, I’ve seen various stalls for real swords that can actually use to cut. Like IRL Master Swords for example. Saw a Yamato replica just this year, it looked awesome. The guy at the stall even let me hold it to look over, I handed it back afterwards of course. Those things are expensive. (It wasn’t all weapons from fictional.)
      Fire arms though? Fat chance, nope. Has to be fake if it’s for cosplay.

    I still remember a local interview of a Police Chief in the early 80's that covered the heavy metal "Spiked" neck collars. Chief- "Children are wearing these CHILDREN!" the reporter asked why? and the Chief responded "To keep our Officers from using a choke hold on them. It's very dangerous for the Police." Reporter then asked "Are your Officers using choke holds on children?"....10 seconds of silence and the biggest stunned deer in headlights look I have ever seen from the Chief... :)

We all had home-made nunchaku (sp?), throwing stars made out of everything you can imagine (like dart tips for example), etc. I'm betting some stupid kid took out his own eye, his loser parents complained to the authorities, and some door knob of a politician pushed a stupid law into place to "protect the children". Meanwhile, the kids parents never got any flak for having no bloody idea what they're own kids were doing, and the dumb one-eyed kid was probably told it wasn't his fault.

    Man, Canada's firearms laws are weird and pointless. I just recieved my third license card in the mail. The only difference on this one is the number 3 at the end of the card number. Apparently this one is so I can transport my AR-15 (BCM RECCE-14 KMR-A). Now that I own a restricted firearm, I need a seperate license to be able to move it outside of my house. Like, why? I can't see that stopping anyone in a criminal situation. "He's legal to purchase, possess, fire, sell, and display this particular firearm, but he's still a threat unless we tell him he needs more paperwork to be able to carry it outside his house. That shit is unacceptable!" The fuck even?

      Authorizations to transport (ATTs are silly). I bought a handgun used, I completed the transfer by calling the firearms office and got the short term ATT a few days later (the paper that lets me bring it to my house.) But in order to take it to the gun range, I had to wait for a long term ATT which took over 2 weeks to arrive. I already had the gun, if I was a criminal there would be nothing to stop me from committing a crime, but because I am a legal owner I had to wait 2 weeks after acquiring my gun to actually shoot it.

      canada got really worried about weapons that were easily hidden and disposed of, this is why handguns with calibres smaller then 38 are illegal for the most part. though barrel length also plays a part. literally you cant own a 32 or 25 calibre here.
      its due to what they call saturday night specials being popular here or dinky little guns that were cheap easy to hide and people used them then chucked em, as well as some of them just being dangerous and blowing up and shit.

      It is also true that additional layers of permission on what types of weapons also significantly reduce the change of the particular crime from happening so just saying "it is illegal to hurt people" isn't really enough, punishing a person isn't enough the murder needs to not happen. In that regard Canada is fairly reasonable they just have semantics problems and outlawing things people are not going to use anyway.

    Fun fact:
    Railguns are legal to own in Germany. Due to an oversight when the laws were written, only "firearms" are banned from ownership without a license, and "firearm" is "any weapon which propells a projectile through a tube."
    Since railguns use, as the name suggests, a rail instead of a tube, they are legal to be owned.
    They'll probably fix it later though.

    • @Schwarzvogel1
      @Schwarzvogel1 5 лет назад +2

      There are no restrictions on railguns, plasma rifles (phased or otherwise), or coilguns (i.e. gaus rifles) in the U.S. whatsoever. This is because according to U.S. law, these weapons are not firearms as they do not use a chemical propellant or explosive to drive a projectile. Laser weapons _may_ be restricted, though, under laws regulating the power output of lasers available to civilians.
      Restricting, regulating, or banning these types of weapons isn't a concern for hoplophobic lawmakers as these types of devices are nowhere near as lethal as conventional firearms; you can't make a man-portable electromagnetic projectile driver with the muzzle energy of even a .22 LR pocket pistol... yet. When we start developing electromagnetic and directed energy weapons that can compete in power output with conventional firearms, then it's likely that the laws will change.

      Not true. Nunchaku are for threshing grain and people still use implements like that for that purpose. Anyway you are missing the point. The law prohibits any object fitting the physical description of the object. Which is why skipping ropes fall into the prohibited category. By prohibiting objects fitting a generic description of dimensions the result is legislated absurdity. It means that scores of household objects become legally forbidden when the problem is not in the shape of the object it is in how it is used or misused.

      I think the thing a lot of people are missing is that while the books may say something, the authorities still (Or at least should, and in my experience most do, but some do not...) use their own better judgement and common sense to enforce something or not. Just because you CAN be arrested or otherwise legally punished for something, doesn't mean you WILL.
      I do believe that it's dumb that it's worded like that, that it should be changed, and that someone innocent can potentially be punished for something absurd, but you gotta understand the chances of it happening are close to none.
      And when the day comes that someone gets legal action taken against them for a jumping rope, then the day comes that major, international public outcry comes against those authorities. So you really don't have to worry too much.

      It's already illegal to assault or murder anyone
      It's already illegal for a person without the proper license to own any type of firearm
      The only case this law covers is: A legal and licensed owner of restricted weapons keeping a short barrel pistol at home or using it at an official shooting range.
      Every other use case is already illegal under different laws.
      Honestly, this pilling on of laws to make the same things illegal over and over again is politicians making do-nothing laws just so they can say that they did something to fight crime, but are in no way improving our lives.

      @@beardannyboy The thing with the double stacking of laws to make it 'doubly' illegal is just to cover all bases but also to reduce the chance of the crime happening in the first place. When it comes to murder punishment after the deed isn't helpful. You got the criminal but now someone is dead. Making it illegal to conceal a weapon makes walking around a mall with a kitchen knife and that can be caught before the crime is committed but if someone has a knife that conceals perfectly into their belt you can't. Making that object illegal to obtain as well as any other weapon to conceal can (But not always) prevents both. You can always illegally obtain it or create the weapon yourself but people are not going to do that on mass. Making specific weapons is a bit like bike locks. You prevent petty or lazy thieves from stealing your bike but someone who is determined to steal your bike is going to do it. In this respect Canada's laws do work fairly well but they do have semantics problems as well as being threatened by things that are not a threat.

    As you mentioned, the whole running theme with a lot of the bans are weapons that are easy to conceal, or make for an efficient weapon to commit violence on a large scale relatively quickly. I personally think most of these prohibitions make a fair bit of sense. Obviously, the firearms that are similar that can be used to the same effect seems odd, but it appears to be done in order to not completely piss off the Canadian gun enthusiasts, and allow hunters to have a decent range of weapons to use in the field. That said, given the state of industrial towns like Oshawa in Ontario Canada, the prohibition of concealed weapons that are not as unweildly as the comparisons you brought up. As someone who knows people in that area personally, it makes sense to have these things banned if they aren't a straight up sword, and would be easy to mark from a distance.

I was assaulted with a a pistol from a neighbor and took it from him and threw it on his roof. Nobody was injured and a few people were pissed off and the police were called. I gave the officer's name and he vouched for me since I was calm, polite and sat on my hands whilst the father of the son screamed at me and spit on me. He said, (paraphrased quote) "he sat calmly through that he's okay with me to legally have a gun". Mostly they are looking for the most common firearm crime, suicide. Honestly they are a bunch of nannies who are looking to protect us with seatbelts, motorcycle helmets and speeding tickets. I both despise and love this system.

That sounds like a false comparison. But if you want to look at U.S. gun laws, you will find similar levels of stupidity. Any gun can kill you. It doesn't really matter whether it looks scary or not. You will be just as dead. Your body doesn't know the difference between bullets from scary guns and bullets from guns that don't look scary.

      you think that is weird?
      in germany you are not allowed to carry a telescoping baton.
      but you ARE allowed to use it to defend yourself, defend others and to stop a crime in process.
      even if you are carrying it illegally, you are still allowed to use it in such circumstances, in which case you will only be charged for illegally carrying, not for attacking someone.
      there are a bunsh of super strange legal situations you can run into in germany.
      for example you are not allowed to own, grow or deal with weed, but you ARE allowed to consume it.
      this can lead to situations where you have two guys and a pile of weed, if both guys keep claiming that the other one is the owner, the cops can not proove either guilty of illegal possession.
      another neat thing is that, in germany, it is absolutely legal to break out of jail, as long as you manage to do so without comiting other fellonies, such as property damage, in the process.
      but all in all germany gets one thing right. you are allowed to use any means at your disposal to defend yourself, defend others or to stop a crime in process AND you can not be held liable for anything you do as what the law refers to as a "fear response" so if someone threatens you, all bets are off.

      however police may get stupid and try to charge you but in many instances theyll drop it later on, happened to some kid here in toronto, he got grabbed coming out of school walking home by some guys in a van, they forced him to let them into his house to rob it, he ran away once he got inside the door they chased him he grabbed a butcher knife and stabbed the fuck out of the way dude so they ran off, he called cops they showed up and tried charging the kid, till public outrage happened and they dropped the charges.
      this is also why you carry a cane, because its not illegal to beat some idiot with a cane if he attacks you, plus they make nice self defense canes with solid steel rods down the center ;)

    Internally they are much different. Not going to say much on the Type 81, but the only part interchangeable with the VZ and the AK are the ammunition it uses. Even the mags are different. The Type 81 and VZ are actually much more similar to the SKS internally.

      EpicLollipop, a flail is a weapon made to create injuries, not to kill. In Canada, firearms have 2 purposes:
      - Kill an animal. A hunter wants a moose dead within 100 metres in less than a hour, not withing 20 km after 3 weeks.
      - Kill a suspect. If a policeman in Canada fires at someone, it is because he feared for his life. If a policeman does not fear for his life, he has no business to shoot.
      The only firearms designed to injure are for the military. You kill an opponent, you removed one enemy from the battlefield; you injure an opponent, you removed him and his 2 comrades that pull him out of there. A flail would be a military-grade weapon... OK, an outdated military-grade weapon.

    • @jonpaul6948
      @jonpaul6948 6 лет назад +3

      Ghyslain Abel So what if a woman fears for her life? She has to call the police, and wait to let him decide if HIS life is in danger before shooting a suspect? Guns are the great equalizer, it is truly a beautiful thing. A 95 pound woman (43kg for those of you who don't measure in Freedom) can stop a 300 pound (136 kg) man from raping or killing her with a single well placed shot. Every human being should have a right to own a gun until they prove they don't deserve that right.

    • @ghyslainabel
      @ghyslainabel 6 лет назад +1

      jon paul, I understand the feeling. However, what would happen if everyone have a gun? The 95 pounds woman will pull a gun on a 300 pounds man, or the man will come with his gun already pulled out? Beside, what if the woman is afraid for he life, kill a man, and the man had no bad intention whatsoever? There are horns and other non-lethal tools that can be used as self protection.
      The majority of rapes are done by someone who know the victim. Harvey Weinstein and Roger Ailes used their influence and power and manipulating skills to rape women, not by physically overpowering them.
      Giving guns to people does not reduce crime www.scientificamerican.com/article/more-guns-do-not-stop-more-crimes-evidence-shows/ ; a better social safety net helps to reduce crime. People are not stupid, they take the best opportunity they have to live. If crime is the only way to get out of poverty, they will commit crime.

    • @jonpaul6948
      @jonpaul6948 6 лет назад +1

      Ghyslain Abel The rape statistics from Sweden and France contradict your whole "women are raped by someone they know" idea. Maybe here (in the West), but not in the new world that the global elites are trying to create. As to your point about guns... the man will at least be on equal terms with the woman if she has access to a gun and he brings his own. If she shoots an innocent man... she goes to jail! That is hard to fathom, I know, but the idea behind law and order is that if you break the law then you go to jail. Remove the firearm, and she has literally zero chance in hell. You are willing to remove the only tool a woman can use to defend herself from rape based on a bunch of what ifs? Also since you pointed out you are from Canada... a woman in your country cannot even own mace to defend herself from a rapist (unless the spray is listed as intended for use against animals). If you remove EVERY weapon from existence, you put women at a natural disadvantage against men. Where is the "equality" and "liberty" there? The only thing I see is "fraternity" with rapists as your brothers.

      Because many uninformed Americans use places like Canada or Sweden as an example for "Look, Canada has banned all gun ownership and they have low gun crime! Therefor we should ban guns in America because guns turn you into a criminal."
      They don't actually know anything about guns, they just use Canada as an example to insult anyone they can possibly insult.
      And before anyone asks, no I am not a crazy gun nut who conceal carries 12 guns at a time. I think there *IS* an acceptable level of restriction *on people* who can own guns... I just don't think restricting specific guns is correct. Once you vet the person can handle guns safely, there is no reason to ban them handling an AK-47 just because "its that scary communist weapon for communists" while ignoring the fact that many European countries adopted the AK-47 or its variants for their militarys and therefor aren't really that communistic...
      ---
      In america we have people who argue that "Lead bullets should be banned because of the environment, we should use steel core"
      And we also have people who say "Steel core bullets should be banned because its harder than lead, and that means its armor piercing and you don't need armor piercing bullets so that means it needs to be banned"
      And both of them cite Canada as having no guns.
      Animal conservationists call for the banning of guns all the time but forget that some state parks rely on hunting licenses and tags which pay for 80% of their costs. Even parks with less of the money coming from tags are still only able to operate because other costs and state run conservation efforts are payed for by hunters...
      In a single sentence, Hunting in the US after the implication of the tag system has been the number 1 payer of animal conservation efforts that has ever existed. Hunting has done more for animal conservation than any other single law or donation or restriction that has ever been put in place. I would argue that Hunting has done more for animal conservation than every other service that has ever existed *combined.* But I would need to do some research before I actually DID argue that, but I would totally do it.
      And the idea that hunters just go out and destroy as much of the population as they can is a fallacy, the number of hunters tags is based on the population of the animals at the time. If you have 100 tags, and they cost 10$ each, if the next year the deer population is limited you only give 10 tags at 100$ each.
      We even have LOTTERIES where you pay for a lottery ticket and get a random draw for an animal tag. You might pay for 100 tickets and get a single Pig or Deer tag when they were hoping for Elk or Moose, and half the time even big game takes like Moose don't get filled as the hunter fails to take an animal. Not to mention Bird hunting has its own specific restrictions and an entire scientific team (in america) who tracks migratory patterns and flock sizes and only allows a specific amount of hunting...
      ---
      And I would assume everything is similar in Canada as these are the more sane laws.
      But no one knows what hunting is actually like, they assume its like the wild west, taking 600 buffalo in a single weekend and entirely destroying a herd...
      No one knows that you can own guns in Canada, everyone assumes Canada has zero guns and is perfect and has no problems.
      I managed to get someone to say that England does have some economic issues that they need to work on ONCE, they then realized what they said then called me a troll and "The UK and EU are the best"
      Basically, sorry that dumb people use Canada as an excuse to push extremist views, they do it for every country. Canada just happens to the the biggest example because "Canadians are nice, say sorry a lot, and would never use a gun. They would just sing to a bear like snow white to make it go away." is a common stereotype.

      Andrew Fontanetta but you can buy and own anti-material rifles in Canada with a generic PAL.... we don't have caliber restrictions on things that aren't handguns....

    • @protowinder1451
      @protowinder1451 6 лет назад +3

      Armegeothm that could very well be possible, I was just making a funny. Although I have a hard time imagining rifles such as these are not in the restricted weapons list. But again, very possible

    • @Armegeothm
      @Armegeothm 6 лет назад +3

      Andrew Fontanetta The only thing that restricts them is that many are semi-automatic with too large of a magazine. That's it. The Solothurn S-18/1000 is prohibited because 10 round semi-automatic. The far more powerful Anzio 20mm rifle is not, because it's bolt action.
      Not a single anti-materiel rifle is listed under the Canadian Criminal Code by name, so they fall under standard long gun laws.

      The only anti-material rifle he could buy here are 50 cal rifles. All the other fun ones are considered "destructive devices" and require a Form 4 to transfer. Not that I can afford to shoot the ones I own, owing to how scarce the ammo is.

      Are full-auto, weapons over 12.7mm bore, and short barreled rifles legal there? If so, yes id say they have the laws setup correctly.

  • @MagraveOfGA
    @MagraveOfGA 6 лет назад +7

    I was going to ask if they have a differentiation between manufactured and designed for the antique weapons, and then you answered it minutes later... out of all of these, that is the most arbitrary sounding one to me out of the guns list.
    Granted, down here in the U.S. we tend to have a lot less restrictive laws, even we are sensible enough to class 'antique' firearms by the design date rather than the manufacture date.

      yeah but the united states also has alot of places with next to no gun laws where if someone wanted to they could cause alot of damage. lol oh if you dont have a permit dont fully load the gun, sorry but thats dumb people cant be trusted. mind you canada does need to be more like the states but you guys need to be more like us as well. some gun laws are needed and a smart idea, some control is fine, though we took it too far like california but you guys are too lax.

      Random shootings are so incredibly rare that they're not actually a problem(even if you use the BS 300 mass shootings a year number).
      Crime on the other hand is very different, but with that the problem is a matter of intent and weapon choice and or availability of it is effectively not an issue.

    • @bmxriderforlife1234
      @bmxriderforlife1234 6 лет назад

      random shootings maybe however bystanders in targeted shootings are common, drakes friend(another rapper) just got murdered in my city, we also just had another shooting of a real estate agent at a restaurant. gun laws can be helpful but can also get out of head quick. though as stats prove getting rid of guns just makes them move to other weapons.

    I frequently enjoy learning some of the gun laws in other countries. Usually there are a few gun laws that I really like (For instance Canada requiring a license to own a gun), but then there are also always dozens of completely arbitrary rules that make absolutely no sense.
    The Spas-12 ban is really hilarious - it's so obvious most gun laws are written by people who's firearm knowledge stopped at the Terminator franchise. Thanks @Skallagrim!

      Gun licences are retarded. Why should the state be the judge of who can be armed or not. 100% chance the state couldnt pass its own background check.
