Tolerating all of that other intolerable government intrusion always leads to a ban.
We will not object.
The border is the biggest problem.
Yeah. We feel your pain.
the Conservative Party in Kanada is a joke... suck it up.
It is pretty clear the liberals want to control the general population through making them dependent on government for protection from the criminals they coddle.
As a Canadian, I would not blame America for building a wall across its northern border.
Especially that Roxham Road port crossing.
Make it so difficult that no one will want to go through the trouble to legally own them.
No, spend your money to protect Canadian soventry.
In Alabama, you walk into a gun shop with a credit card and a drivers license and walk out with as many guns, the biggest magazines they have and as much ammo as you can afford! Alabama > Canada
I travelled up to Canada just a few years ago. in the late spring, just by myself, going on a road trip.
Middle aged, white, short hair, glasses, wearing a military hat.
I had been driving for several hours straight (through northern Maine) when I hit the border. I figured I would stop and use a men’s room at the border crossing facility, which was good, because at that point, I had to go pretty badly.
When I got there, they asked me questions, then told me to pull my car to the side and come inside the building. When I came in (around 20:00) there was one person in this big room with benches, and when I asked him if I could use the men’s room, he said no. I had to wait.
So I had to urinate pretty badly at this time, but they said no, so I paced back and forth, because that can get pretty uncomfortable. After about five minutes, two border guards came out (male and female) and walked me to my car, asking me questions about whether I owned guns, etc. and then proceeded to take the entire car apart. Took my luggage out and completely emptied it, pulled out floor mats, emptied my glove compartment, emptied my trunk, searched the engine compartment, etc. The female pulls my container of prescription pills out (to save space when going on short trips, I just take what I need and throw them all into one container) and asks what they were, so I explain each one, and she admonishes me and says “You shouldn’t put them together in one container” which starts to REALLY piss me off. They are pulling other stuff out saying “What’s this? Why do you have this?”, etc.
Then, they pull my secured gun safe from under my seat, and ask if I had a gun in it. I said no, I already told them about a half dozen times I did not have a gun with me. They asked me to open it, and for some reason, the key didn’t work. At this point, I had to go so badly I said “Look. Why don’t you get a crowbar and force it open, I really have to go to the men’s room?” But I did finally get the blamed thing open.
All this took about 30-45 minutes, and by the end of it, as anyone who has ever had to go that badly knows, you almost begin to salivate from the discomfort.
I was pretty pissed.
To make it worse, on the way home the next day (only stayed one night) I got stopped by two police cruisers outside of St. Johns, where again, I was asked several times if I owned guns. Turns out they stopped me because I had apparently not paid for a tank of gasoline about forty miles back, and they called the RCMP. When they told me I didn’t pay, I was pretty adamant that I had, but agreed to drive back and straighten it out. As soon as I walked in, the guy behind the counter was apologetic, and said “I told them not to be hard on you, it was an accident!” We had a good laugh. It was due to confusion about the difference in the way credit card readers work up there, and I had ended up paying for a soft drink I purchased, not the gasoline.
Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling any love from North of the Border. Don’t feel like going back up again. Someone told me it was a tit-for-tat situation because Canadians complain the US side is tough on them going over. Yeah, I guess. They haven’t had a plane plow into a skyscraper up there. But their fixation with guns really pissed me off, and they were getting that crap from somewhere.
Yeah, Canadians are obsessed with guns, with getting rid of them completely.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they threw them into a great big pile and lit them all on fire on Canada day, July 1, right in front of Parliament Hill, creating a tremendous fireworks show!
I didn’t lose anything in Canada and there’s plenty of beautiful America to visit.
I suppose Canada wants to differentiate itself from its southern neighbor, who cherishes its Second Amendment.

Canada has been down this path before, they will not fully submit.
Sigh. It could be as simple as that.
I had always enjoyed going to Canada, and I enjoyed individual Canadians as a rule, but that soured me a great deal.
Sadly.
And I thought California gun laws were insane. At least I can take as many of my rifles or pistols as I want, and drive to an open area of Federal land about two miles from my house and target shoot to my heart’s content.
Thanks for the Ping.
The more people know about this horrid violation of Civil Liberties of Canadian Gun Owners, the better.
This May 1st gun ban could very well have been in a totalitarian state like Iran.But this is Canada, now no longer a free nation. On the 1st of May 2020, Trudeau’s Banning of fully permitted firearms, which are the legal property of businesses and law abiding gun owners, Canada just manifested the first steps towards totalitarianism.
Beware America. You now have a neighboring, uncivilized totalitarian government running Canada.A firearms dealer called “ Iron Sights” loated in Fredericton, New Brunswick now has $350,00 dollars of firearms inventory he can do nothing with. His business will likely have to close, as will many firearms dealers across the country.
There is now the beginning of a movement to simply de-elect the Trudeau government. I hope it succeeds.
asking me questions about whether I owned guns, etc
= = =
Hmmm . . . familiar
One day, I drove my US car into Canadia, and the border guards asked Where are your guns? Not do you have any. Where are they?
I said, I knew you would ask, and I left them back in Idaho.
And I was let through, with wife, 3 kids, and the Idaho guest.
Later I suspected they had run my plate and connected with state gun ownership records.
Similar at a stop in Susanville, CA.
No one has confirmed that the cops run plates, and check with ownership records. I’d like to know that.
