Intraweb tough guy? What part of my post insinuated aggression? I called you out on a blanket statement where you "imagine" a certain type of rifle to be more controlled than any other by our gov't based on its moniker and past history.
A semi auto AK-47 is no harder to obtain than any other firearm. Yes, its perfectly common for things to be controlled, yet legal. Yes, the AK is among those, but not to any more degree than say, a single shot bolt action .22.

No, because their laws are vastly different from ours.
A fully automatic assault weapon is not legal to the average joe blow in Canada. However, a semi automatic AK 47 is not classified as an assault weapon.
Regardless, you cannot walk around with a gun in public in Canada unless you are an official with the rights to do so. Really the question you posed is so out to lunch I dont know how you can ask it. Unless of course you have no idea what you are talking about.
Since you are willing to classify a semi automatic rifle as an assault weapon means you have little to no knowledge of firearms and are stuck on the mystique of the AK-47 being some type of apocalyptic death machine only suited for terrorists, third world countries and psychopaths.
