Summations Only

Define "modern firearm". There are three classes of firearms in Canada: regular, restriced and prohibited. All pistols are at the least restricted and some semi-auto rifles are as well. Pistols of a barrel length of 4" or less are prohibited, as well as pistols of some smaller calibers (.32/.25/.35 i think). There are various erifles/shotguns that are prohibited (lik the AK-47 and all its variants). There are various requirements to get a licsence for a restricted weapon, and the government has stopped issuing licenses for prohibited weapons though there are some grandfathered in.

Have to apply for a possession and acquisition license, and complete an approved firearms safety course. Some restricted weapons are listed by name (the M-16 and all its variants are restricted) and there also combinations of barrel length/overall length that would make a weapon restricted. Like all laws there are some oddities: this shotgun is non-restricted because it comes from the factory at this length but if I took a regular shotgun and chopped the barrel and altered the stock to match the length I'd be guilty of creating a restricted firearm (at least to the best of knowledge).

Its too late in the day for me to wade through the interwebs but I'm pretty sure the magazine limit is 5 rounds not 3. I've heard, though I'm not certain of it that there are exceptions for Lee-Enfields and Garands.
