Lucky this is a thread about Canada gun laws. If it was about possible American gun laws that would affect airguns here, The moderators would have closed the thread.

Well maybe you are right about that my friend, but at least its something. You are not going to be allowed Pee shooters at this rate.

The same thing is coming here my friend eventually, IF we let them? I say we don't let them. Firearms community and air gun community must stick together.

I wish you can get that through the heads of the air gun community here in America. They want to bury their heads in the sand and think they will stay under the radar and be overlooked.

The big question is do you want to align yourself with a community that is already jacked up from within and also has a big bullseye on its back. It might be damned if you do and damned if you don’t. The longer we can stay little Ricky with his BB gun the better. Blowhards wanting to boast about the capabilities of the modern airgun aren’t doing us any favors. And yes, sadly that comes from within from guys chasing a dime.

If everybody during the Revolution had a scaredy cat attitude like you. We would still be bowing to a king right now.

So all you got from what I said is that I’m a scaredy-cat? Name calling will get you nowhere.

Since airguns are not protected under the 2nd Amendment, it would be much easier to ban them than real center fire rifles and handguns.

The Canadian airgun ban is aimed at replicas, there was a case from 2017 where some organized criminals set up a shop to manufacture untraceable ghost guns using some parts from replica airguns. They built hundreds of them and some even went to the US. The Canadian police are also worried about accidentally shooting someone by mistaking a replica as a real firearm.

The 2nd Amendment does not define the nature of the "Arms" is seeks to protect. At it's inception a Musket was considered an assault weapon. And owning your own cannon would not be out of the question.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
Not saying that it would protect us anymore than it has the firearms community. If the US gun grabbers get HR 127 passed in it's current iteration God help us.

When they use words like "similar" it doesn't have to be a replica is my understanding. Using vague terms like similar can sure get many airguns marked as prohibited. Depends who's making that call, reasonable persons understanding of firearms or Bill Blair.

You say the Canadian airgun ban is aimed at replicas, yet Canada already has restrictions on ALL types of airguns. I can only wonder what types of airguns they will want to ban next.
You mention specific cases where replicas were used in crimes and this is how they justify the ban. So what is going to happen when they start talking about cases where someone used a traditional styled single shot break barrel to shoot out windows?

If airgunners here in America are thinking this kind of legislation is not on the radar here. You are stupid and ignorant. Yes. It's powder burners first. Then us . Just like Canada. Don't bury your head in the sand , and think you're under the radar. You are not.
