I did a little research and came up with this.

There are 3 categories for firearms in Canada. Allowed, restricted and prohibited.

Handguns with barrels shorter than 4-inches, fully automatic, converted automatics, and assault-type weapons are "prohibited", but "prohibited" doesn't mean you can't own one, just that they're the really scary guns, and you need to jump through more hoops to obtain one.

All restricted and prohibited firearms have to be registered.
I will never apologize for being an American.

Their registration didn’t go so well

The Law-Abiding Unregistered Firearms Association estimated that over 70% of all firearms in Canada were never registered.

They will never admit they cleared him to own the AR, if in fact it was a AR.

........and they don't have a 2nd Amendment......so does that suggest that human beings feel an innate desire for self preservation and self defense in spite of the Elites determining that they don't need the means to do so or should have someone define what that looks like?

There's a series of humorous novels by Janet Evanovich about an inept semi-amateur bounty hunter named Stephanie Plum. The series is set in Trenton New Jersey, and one of the running gags in the series is that despite New Jersey's strict gun control laws, virtually everyone and his grandmother own illegal firearms. The bond office's collateral storeroom is a virtual armory.
