Bill C-230 aims to change the Criminal Code regarding firearms. It focuses on defining what a "variant" of a firearm is. According to the bill, a "variant" is a firearm that uses the original frame or receiver of another firearm. The bill also seeks to include any variant of a prohibited or restricted firearm to also be considered prohibited or restricted, respectively.
This proposed change would mean that if a firearm is classified as prohibited or restricted, any firearm that is considered a variant of it would also fall under the same classification. The goal of this amendment is to provide a clearer definition of "variant" in the Criminal Code, specifically to ensure that certain firearms are included in the list of prohibited and restricted firearms.
In essence, this bill seeks to clarify and broaden the scope of what is considered a prohibited or restricted firearm by including their variants. This clarification could have implications for how firearms are classified and regulated under the Criminal Code.
