Turning it full auto is a felony, and it requires some pretty fine machining skills.
It is still classified as a restricted weapon in Canada, right? I haven't checked in forever.
I talked to a guy in security that actually has a CCW permit here in Canada. He said it was a pretty complex progress to go through in order to get it. He actually had to prove that his job involved situations where he might need a weapon to defend himself.
The shooter in Colorado did have to get a background check done before he purchased his weapons. All that showed up was a traffic ticket. Even if you required him to pass an extensive safety course, considering he was a med student it probably wouldn't have been a problem for him to pass it. He spent up to 6 months preparing himself for the incident. Crazy.
