Canada’s gun laws aren’t terrible TBH. There are some more restrictive training and permitting requirements than in the states. But the nationwide registry was abolished in 2012 (Quebec has their own.) Some models are banned or restricted. But there are generally workalikes and lookalikes available. There are no transferrable full autos, but the import restrictions aren’t as strict. The real issue is just that there isn’t the same “gun culture” and people’s sense of popular sovereignty is totally invested in democratic processes and institutions (which are easy to corrupt and pervert) and not in the right to revolt, which is stigmatized more and celebrated less, compared to the breakaway colonies… (And the right of self-defense is weaker with basically no provisions for legally carrying or using firearms for that purpose.)Tyler SeguinYeah they REALLY don’t want you using firearms for self defense here.Feb 14, 2019, 7:21 PMVik LiBloody 5-round magazine capacity for rifles…Feb 14, 2019, 8:07 PMDaniel WrightSwitzerland has 45.7Feb 14, 2019, 8:11 PMKay MortonIf someone breaks into my home and threatens my family with their illegally obtained gun, it’s illegal for my husband to use his legalised gun to shoot them in self defense. However, he can knife them. … hmmmFeb 14, 2019, 8:17 PMBill JoslinThe history of Canadian guns laws is interesting (upto ’92)Feb 14, 2019, 9:15 PMPaul TrippMany parts of the world have been relatively free to disarm under the assumption that the American military, kept in check by American civilians, would come save them if their government became too corrupt and oppressive.

They’re gonna learn some hard lessons when that ain’t the case anymore.Feb 14, 2019, 10:18 PMDavid McCarthyDespite all the guns in Yemen(I didn’t know there were that many) the people there are still being starved to death…Feb 14, 2019, 11:41 PMDave Germaniukyou get around that by having “pistol” mags.
