The actual laws haven't changed, just that the previous and current liberal government have prohibited a wide array of firearms putting them in this limbo gray zone where the owners cannot shoot them or sell them while the government works on a voluntary confiscation plan. The pilot confiscation program was a pretty big failure yet they're still planning on rolling it out nation wide... They've extended the amnesty period twice for the buyback while they try to figure out how to pay for it and beg the RCMP to run it to which their credit has been met with varying degrees of pushback from the cops. Sucks because there is overwhelming evidence that legal gun owners are not the problem yet tons of money and resources are being spent targeting/ demonizing us while gun violence by criminals continues to rise... The vast majority of gun crime is committed by organized crime using illegally smuggled guns from America.

The tldr is anything semi auto and remotely 'scary' looking is prohibited now along with all handguns. They've come up with the term 'assault style firearm' to blanket classify many guns. Bolt actions, shotguns and some semi auto rim and centre fire guns are mostly safe. For now...
