If you missed the story last Thursday:

Incomplete “80%” lower receivers for AR-15 rifles have been prohibited, according to a recent memo issued by the RCMP.

The memo, entitled “Important Information Regarding Receiver Blanks”, was issued by the RCMP’s Director of Firearms Regulatory Services, explained that receiver blanks can be “adapted for use as a firearm”, and that AR-15 blanks “can be made into either an AR-15 rifle or an M16 assault rifle”, and thus they are prohibited.

“Receiver blanks are firearms since they are nearly completed receivers and fall within the adaptability clause of the firearms definition in Section 2 of the Criminal Code”, the memo said.
