Someone needs to come up with a kit to make an AR look like the rifles at the top

If it is just as capable as an AR-15 then why not just buy that gun?

Hint: it isn't.

All you have to do is buy a Mini-14 from Ruger instead of an AR to accomplish that.

Mini-14 is now prohib in Canada as of 2020. They say they did it because of the Polytechnique shooting in 1989, but they had passed sweeping gun legislation in the 90s already. It is kinda incredible how that shooting is still the number 1 talking point and they've practically competely forgotten about the Nova Scotia shooting in 2020. I think it is because they are well aware that the 2020 shooting was done pretty much entirely with firearms smuggled in from the US. And the one gun that he had that was sourced in Canada the RCMP let him have due to a major league fuckup when they had all the right to just take it.

Also he was forbidden from owning firearms well before the shooting. Despite countless complaints that he had guns and seemed to be planning something fucked, they chose to do nothing, as usual.

It's funny how gun control is a legitimately important issue but some of its biggest and loudest advocates are more interested in looking busy and being 'tough' on guns rather than addressing actual problems.
