Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

It was a handshake deal off of Gunpost, let me look at his PAL and his drivers license to confirm. He totally definitely did buy it and is in fact really a real person who exists in reality!

You didn’t do it legally then. You have to verify the license using the RCMP verification code.

Responded to a different guy but I learned my mistake and corrected it with this very real human. If you know the answer to this, if someone buys a gun but the seller didn’t run it through the verification site, is the buyer in any sort of legal trouble?

Don't think so. When I inherited two of my non-restricted rifles, my family member never had a license. We did the formality of calling it in and doing the paperwork, but I was told that I could just take them since they were non restricted.

The license check appears to be for the seller's protection.
