Some weapons were banned by regulation in the 1990s. What is changing with this amendment is that the weapons prohibited by regulation will now be in the Criminal Code, which will also include weapons prohibited by regulation in May 2020.

Instead of listing these 1,500 weapons in regulations, they will be listed in the Criminal Code. The place they're listed changes, but the effect is the same: these weapons are prohibited.
