00:00:00.000 all right so it looks like they're finally doing it the canadian government has decided to go after
00:00:04.400 the very last semi-automatic rifle that is non-restricted affordable and actually functions
00:00:10.400 well in this incredibly cold weather of ours they're finally going after the sks and unfortunately
00:00:16.560 it was only a matter of time they've been wanting to go after that rifle for a while now but they've
00:00:22.320 stopped before because it's commonly used by native canadians for hunting and sustenance and
00:00:28.000 it wasn't convenient politically for the liberals go figure so here we go again the canadian federal
00:00:37.520 government is gearing up for another gun ban and this time they're targeting the sks they're not 0.97
00:00:44.080 doing it with a big announcement on the five o'clock news or a straight-up public ban they're doing it
00:00:50.080 quietly through a so-called expert panel with a full rewrite of the firearms classification system
00:00:57.040 and constant pressure from a quebec anti-gun group that has been demanding the sks be prohibited
00:01:03.920 for years now the sks is in some high-tech tactical rifle it's an old simple mid-century semi-auto
00:01:12.320 with a fixed five round magazine it's been in canada for decades it's cheap it's reliable and that's
00:01:19.040 exactly why regular hunters rural families and northern communities use it even the federal government's
00:01:25.680 own panel must admit that indigenous hunters rely on it because it's affordable rugged it works in the
00:01:33.680 cold and the ammo is easy to find that right there is why the sks has survived earlier bans if the
00:01:41.520 government tried to prohibit it years ago they would have been in a direct fight with indigenous communities
00:01:48.000 who depend on that rifle in particular for substance hunting the government knew it that's why in 2020
00:01:55.280 when they banned over 1500 so-called assault style weapons the sks wasn't on that list later when they
00:02:03.360 tried to slip the sks into bill c21 through a last minute amendment indigenous leaders pushed back hard
00:02:11.680 and the government had to back off and that right there is the big red flag if a gun is really too
00:02:18.320 dangerous then it should be too dangerous for everyone but the government tiptoes around the sks only 1.00
00:02:25.920 because of the politics that tells you this isn't about public safety it's about optics meanwhile canada's
00:02:33.360 own crime data tells a completely different story handguns mostly illegal ones smuggled across the border
00:02:42.160 are the ones showing up in the majority of shootings and homicides in this country rifles like the sks make 1.00
00:02:49.600 up a tiny fraction of gun crime here but instead of dealing with that instead of going after the illegal
00:02:57.280 market ottawa is spending its energy trying to ban a rifle sitting peacefully in the safe of a licensed
00:03:03.280 gun owner who passed all the background checks and that is exactly what the quebec anti-gun group has
00:03:09.760 been demanding for years they've been pushing the government to ban the sks they call it a military 0.99
00:03:17.920 rifle they say the government's ban is incomplete until the sks is off the market they want new sales
00:03:26.000 banned they want a buyback program they want registration basically they want the sks gone for good
00:03:33.280 in december 2025 an expert advisory panel released a report that suddenly treats the sks like some kind
00:03:40.960 of modern combat gun they talk about newer versions detachable mags and tactical conversions even though
00:03:50.080 most canadians who own an sks have the same old wooden stocked rifle that has been around since the
00:03:57.680 mid 1900s they painted as dangerous even though canada's own crime stats say otherwise the next day the
00:04:05.040 public safety minister announced a full classification review and he didn't just say they're looking at
00:04:11.760 everything he specifically mentioned the sks he said they will be consulting indigenous communities about
00:04:20.640 its future translation they want to ban it but they're trying to figure out how to do it without an
00:04:28.000 uproar in the north with northern communities the quebec anti-gun group is celebrating this they're pushing
00:04:35.600 harder than ever saying canada doesn't have a real ban until they get rid of the sks they're asking for a 1.00
00:04:43.040 full ban on any new sks sales and a buyback for the ones that are already out there hundreds of firearms
00:04:51.840 are now banned in canada but not this one basically if you're a gun owner in canada and you own rifles
00:04:59.040 you probably got an sks they're just that common originally a soviet combat weapon thousands of
00:05:06.320 semi-automatic sks's found their way into canada after the fall of the soviet union they were
00:05:12.560 extremely inexpensive and you had rifles coming over from former soviet republics and you could
00:05:19.040 buy them by the crate in 2020 the federal government banned 1500 assault weapons this gun expert suspects
00:05:26.000 the sks didn't make the cut because of its older design and it takes longer to reload but if you're
00:05:32.880 shot before somebody has to reload the result is going to be the same regardless so when you step back
00:05:38.720 you see a pattern clear as day they banned thousands of rifles since 2020 they froze handgun sales they
00:05:47.440 keep adding more guns to the prohibited list and now they're going after the last affordable semi-auto
00:05:53.680 that regular canadians can still buy the sks isn't being targeted because it's a threat
00:06:00.000 it's being targeted because it's accessible because it's popular because it's one of the few
00:06:05.600 non-restricted semi-autos left in canada and once the sks goes that's basically it there aren't many
00:06:13.120 options left for average people you'll have expensive restricted government approved rifles that are hard
00:06:20.000 to get and hard to use and you'll have illegal guns in the hands of criminals who never cared about the law
00:06:27.520 to begin with a comprehensive ban is possible and just within reach we are so happy and i'm feeling
00:06:40.560 relieved that it might be done before the next election this isn't about safety it's about control
00:06:48.960 and about slowly quietly choking out civilian firearms ownership until nothing is left in canada and that's
00:06:57.200 why the sks matters it's not just a rifle it's a line in the sand it's the last domino in a long list
00:07:04.560 of bands once they take this one they know they've essentially closed the book on semi-auto ownership
