what a terrible post
the reason why guns are not so prolific in the canadian culture is because canada never left the original commonwealth aka no revolution aka no reason for every citizen to be armed to the teeth to protect their home
the main issue in america right now is that people are concerned the government and rich foreign influences could potentially use a largely inflated police/military force combined with technology to subserviate people in radical ways. the gun is seen as the main defense toward this distopia

In sum the Canadian laws:
Firearms are either non-restricted, restricted, or prohibited.

Most rifles and shotguns are non restricted. Shorter rifles and all handguns are restricted (Ar15, Glock). For a restricted weapon you must complete one or two additional classes. Every time the restricted weapon must be moved, you must alert the police that you are moving it, and you take a specific travel path and avoid pitstops. All fully automatic or bump stock rifles are prohibited and you can't get them.


To own a non-restricted firearm you must get at least 80% on a firearms safety class, then apply for a license which includes a manual background check and 2 references and the signature of your conjugal partner.

In Montréal, you cannot ever fire a weapon for any reason, and no weapons can be loaded either.

Weapons must be unloaded, unlocked, and ammunition stored separately and they must be in a trunk or away from vision when transporting them.

Max rifle magazine capacity is 5, shotguns 10.

It's so common sense. Fully automatic weapons shouldn't be permitted. We have really low number of gun deaths.

Also, no silencers
