News / Politics / Activism I found this pretty comical

I know California has nothing to do with us, but considering we both suffer from some pretty silly gun laws I figured I’d share for the topic of discussion. I recently found out California does not allow detachable mags for ar15’s, anything considered “tacticool” must have to remove the action in order to reload 🤣🤣

At least we can own our tiny little wrist-breaker 12 guages.

The one thing we have over most Americans.

And shipping guns directly to your door is pretty sweet too honestly. That is one of the few things I love about our laws.

Getting pre-authorized in 5 year increments (tied to license renewal) instead of getting a background check and waiting period for every purchase is nice as well.

That's actually a valid point, Canada will basically give a license to any and all law abiding citizens (not even citizens, even student visa holders can get them). In Canada, even felons can get a firearms license if enough time has passed, I've heard of several cases, whereas in the US, a single felony is a blanket lifetime ban I believe. I don't necessarily think someone who may have screwed up in their 20s once, should never be able to experience hunting at the age of 35 or 40, for example, or be denied means of protection if out deep in the bush.

There are aspects of the Canadian system that I prefer, but many aspects of the US system as well. In a perfect world, we would have a hybrid blend of our laws and US laws.

Sure, but they're fun as fuck.

Who gives a shit if they're functional? Half of us shoot at paper down a range anyways.

I get that not every gun has to have a serious purpose

And you're right, i do way more target shooting than actual hunting.

But lil wrist-breakers seem more of a liability than anything
