WITHDRAW from the ASFCP: if you’ve already declared your firearms, it’s not too late to withdraw. The program itself outlines how to do so.

Sent a message and considering emailing the journalist personally. Read the title, read the article, look at the photo. This is the kind of garbage journalism that leaves uninformed Canadians supporting Gun Grab policies. Its not just the CBC.

The Attorney General of Canada just informed the SCC it won't oppose the groups asking to join CCFR v. Canada as interveners, thereby allowing them to participate in the case.

This isn't a ruling on the merits, just the AGC declining to block their entry. Intervener status itself doesn't declare a side, but based on what these orgs publicly stand for, it's not hard to guess. To keep it simple, 11 of the 12 interveners are likely to side with the CCFR, against 1 which is explicitly on the government's side.

Pleasantly shocked by this but very happy as a Mississauga resident. Anyone been here yet? My buddy went and had a great time but wanted to see if anyone else has any thoughts

What does everyone think the realistic outlook of this new liberal majority government is in respect to him ownership?

I'm sure there are opinions on both extremes but what is a grounded logical prediction of what the next 3+ years could look like ?

A lot of ownership options and restrictions have already been pushed through so it seems like it's just crumbs left to take away. Certainly I don't think anyone predicts reversals, regardless of the supreme court ruling as a majority government can now pass laws to crystallise their objectives.

Today, Canada’s gun lobby, the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (The CCFR), filed an unprecedented class action application against the Federal Government utilizing recent amendments to Saskatchewan’s Provincial Firearms Act. The action aims to hold the Federal Government to their promise to compensate licensed gun owners for their lawfully acquired property made worthless after the May 1, 2020 firearm bans and subsequent actions. This is the latest countermeasure The CCFR has launched to protect licensed gun owners against an unreasonable and overreaching Liberal government.

If successful, a certified class action would force the government to pay full and fair compensation to affected residents of Saskatchewan for not only their banned firearms, but for other affected property such as accessories and in some cases, ammunition. This case will significantly impact decisions currently under consideration by other provinces and territories regarding the government’s embattled firearm bans and “compensation program”.

I really hope the PM decides to take this for a spin at the range and decides the Secretary of State for Nature should stick to the Nature lane.

I doubt anything will come from this but it sure would be incredible if all it took was this gifted revolver to change the course of gun legislation in this country.

Some people legitimately do not know about the OIC, ive seen countless mini 14s, and Ruger PC Carbines at gunshows this year alone

Some people just never got the email i guess

TL;DR: Working on a YouTube video about gun laws in Poland vs Canada — looking for input from Canadian gun owners. Any insights appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a YouTube video for my channel Nexos, where I want to compare firearm laws and gun ownership between Poland and Canada.

I’ve just come back from Canada and had the chance to talk with some family and friends, so I already have a general idea of how things work here. That said, I’d really like to hear directly from people who actually live in Canada and are part of the firearms community — to make this material as accurate, reliable, and fair as possible.

The goal of this video is not to mock or criticize either country. I strongly believe that gun owners and shooters around the world should support each other rather than argue. Recently, I’ve often seen Poland being referred to as the “Texas of Europe,” which made me even more interested in doing a deeper, fact-based comparison.

This will be the first episode in a series where I compare different countries — starting with Canada and Poland, since I’m both Polish and Canadian 🙂 I want to take a closer look at “my two countries” and present it in an interesting way for both Poles and international viewers.

Below, I’ve prepared a list of questions I’d love to get answers to. If any of you are willing to take a few minutes to respond — to all or even just some of them — I’d really appreciate it.

Additionally, in the comments, I’ll include answers to the same questions from the Polish perspective, so you can see how things work in a country that guards NATO’s eastern border.

I’ve also added a few photos of my firearms and shooting activities to give you a bit of a feel for what the shooting scene looks like in Poland.

Questions (Canada perspective)

1. Is it legal to own firearms in Canada? If so, under what conditions?
2. How long does it take to obtain a firearms licence?
3. Are medical, psychological, or background checks required during the licensing process?
4. Is the firearms licence granted as a strict administrative decision, or is there discretionary judgment involved?
5. Once you have a licence, how many firearms can you own?
6. What does the firearm purchasing process look like?
7. How must firearms and ammunition be stored?
8. Is it legal to carry firearms on your person?
9. What are the rules for transporting firearms (e.g., to a shooting range)?
10. What types of firearms are legal to own, and which are prohibited?
11. Are there any restrictions on firearm accessories, attachments, or modifications?
12. Are there any clothing or gear restrictions (e.g., camouflage, tactical gear)?
13. Are there magazine capacity limits?
14. Where are you allowed to shoot?
15. Are any types of shooting activities restricted (e.g., dynamic shooting, tactical drills)?
16. A difficult topic: self-defense with a firearm — is it legal?
17. How does Canadian society generally perceive firearms and gun ownership?
18. Approximately how many firearms and firearm owners are there in Canada?

Hi all. I am a researcher who does work on Firearms Policy. I am working on a policy paper to advocate for legalizing suppressors (as is the case in New Zealand, the UK, and most of Canada's peer countries in Europe).

I'm trying to figure out exactly when Canada banned firearm suppressors, and it's proving more difficult than I thought.

Most commentary or news sources trace the prohibition to the "early 1900s" but don't reference any laws, acts, or statutes - or even a specific year. I have checked the 1919 and 1927 editions of the criminal code, and can find no reference to a ban. It's not until the 1953 edition that Section 84 lays out a clear prohibition.

I've also searched through newspaper databases from that period (Globe, Citizen & Gazette), and the Parliamentary Hansard.

It's clear I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, but I can't seem to find it. Thus, I turn to the great collective wisdom of Reddit.

Any information or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I was on a photo walk downtown and came across this manifestation. I'm pro-gun also, got my rpal license. Here are some pics I took of the manif and participants.

The plan is, there is no plan

A few pieces of incorrect info; article sorta implies you can still get handguns with an rpal, or at least if you were uninformed I could see how it reads that way.

Some interesting stats on the growth of applicants and increase in women interested nonetheless.

Looks cute, I'm not sure I'd want to "assault" anything with it though.

I just wanted to thank all of the people that upvoted, commented on, or shared my post about my policy paper.

Given the interest of the community I thought I'd take a chance to showcase my book "Targeted".

The book is the first in Canada to tell the story of Canada's community of gun owners from their own perspective. It includes interviews with Canada's top pro-gun advocates, and ordinary gun owners.

The digital version can be downloaded for free from the University of Toronto Press website (just Google Schwartz Targeted UTP), but if you want to support balanced and fair research on gun policy, please consider buying a hard copy, or writing a review (good or bad) on Amazon.

Lmao, I feel safer already
