Original Note:
Many newly-prohibited firearms were designed for the civilian market for hunting and sporting purposes and not the battlefield. In general, the newly-prohibited firearms in civilian hands were strictly controlled and not commonly used for street gun crime in Canada. https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2020/2020-05-01-x3/html/sor-dors96-eng.html https://www.blueline.ca/implications-of-canadas-may-2020-assault-style-gun-ban/ https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2022001/article/00009-eng.htm
