I think I recognize that tag. Pretty disappointed in the news the owner told me last week.

Writing was on the wall that this was happening, after he lost Polaris it was the beginning of the end, a gun and smoker shop never stands a chance in Whitecourt. This is the town business’ go to die. Have watched way to many good guys lose their business’ here……. Just doesn’t make sense to me, and definitely sucks. He always treated me good there, bought all my Klim gear from him for years.

yeah, they’re legal in most states which is where I live but it’s an involved process to get one and you have to be approved. took 11 months for the whole process.
had one on my M4 while in the military and loved shooting with it.

At least our good neighbours from the south use common sense rather than the pinheads that run our country have. I think silencers should be decriminalized up here. Or at the very least for range use. Better for your hearing as opposed to wearing clumsy ear protection. If you are using a silencer on your AR to commit a crime what difference does it make? You are committing a crime already with the gun so does using a silencer make it more of a crime? My 2 cents anyways.

suppressor laws in various countries are interesting. here, anyone can get one provided they pass the background check or in other words, the paperwork is a little more involved than what's required to own a firearm plus you must get fingerprinted, photographed, pay a one time 200 dollar tax stamp because it's an NFA (National Firearms Act of 1934) item. at the time, 200 dollars was prohibitively expensive which was the point but there was no provision to raise the fee as time went on so it remains 200 bones. if approved the paperwork must stay with the suppressor at all times plus the device is assigned to a person or a trust depending on what the individual prefers. if for an individual then that person is the only one that may legally use it and if it's under a trust then all persons listed in the trust may use it.
in the UK they're easy to obtain but firearms in general aren't.
looks like up in the Great White North the only peeps that can have them have been grandfathered in which is probably just about nobody.

surprisingly the regulatory agency here has been on a losing streak. the pistol brace ban was just overturned, magazine laws are being removed and there's strong support for removing suppressors from the list of NFA items. paradoxically though i like the fact that one must jump thru hoops to get a suppressor. they're expensive and i paid around 1100 for mine and the class III dealer that you buy them from hangs on to it after you've paid and until you get approval then you go pick it up. if they become easily obtainable then no doubt crimes will be committed with them which will bring further scrutiny regardless of whether or not the device facilitated the crime because the perception will be that it most certainly did.

Our firearm current laws are the second most restrictive behind only Japan we are told. Our government wants to ban them altogether and we are hanging by a thread until we can get a change in government. The Conservatives have said they will repeal the Liberals bans if elected but that only gives us more time. A change in philosophy needs to happen but I’m not holding my breath. Even the Liberals know that legal firearms owners are not the problem but vilify guns because it’s political low hanging fruit and only low intelligence inbred sheep that follow the Liberals will fall for the scare tactics they use in their messaging.

the reason we still are allowed is because it's part of our constitution but that by no means gun ownership is secured. it seems my country is becoming more and more liberal and they have a habit of not being happy until everything sucks equally for everybody. it's interesting though, many of my friends are younger and are/were very liberal and we typically don't talk politics but i've observed over the years as they have families, gain assets and pay stupid taxes and watch crime increase that their attitudes are leaning more centrist if not conservative. prob is, is that when they were young they voted for all the nonsense and here we are.
what is the law or reason in canada that allows gun ownership?

Isn’t that the way it always goes though. It’s universal in most democracy’s. Younger people in colleges and universities tend to vote left because the left promises the world to them. Gun legislation, save the planet, and socialist programs. Then they get a job and a family and have to pay their own bills and the majority of them realize they have been duped. Shouldn’t be allowed to vote until your brain has matured where you can think and operate rationally.

yup, the pre-frontal cortex doesn't mature until early to mid 20's and it's responsible for impulse control, reasoning, planning, judgement,etc.
That's not even close to true. If anything, Canada is close to the most "free" in access to firearms for civilians.

I read that somewhere. Take in to account countries that are allowed to own firearms privately and not countries that don’t allow private ownership at all. Then rethink it.

That’s funny, you’re explaining this to a bunch guys with garages full of bad decisions lol…reasoning and impulse control ha ha. That’s funny.

My toys aren’t outta lack of impulse control, that’s hobbies I work hard to afford and I spoil myself. My impulse control usually comes in the form of trying not punch some young punk or liberal ahole beeking off or junkie oppressed native trying to rob me, no matter how old I get I still can barely control it hahaha. In all seriousness though I totally agree that people shouldn’t be allowed to vote until 25
