The mosin is my favorite gun i've shot, and i've tried out a lot of other people's guns
I know my canadian friend has a C1A1 (FAL) somewhere in Alberta I believe
Ah he must have a restricted license
Shitty thing about canada right now is that there's a push there to ban handguns and "assault weapons" after some guy went on a mass shooting and killed 5 people with an illegally smuggled handgun from the US
What's the Canadian NFA really up to these days?
NFA?
I know they're not as well known as the NRA
National Firearm Association I believe
Ah
I don't follow them down to that level so i'm not sure
it gets confusing talking about Canadian NFA because it's easy to confuse with the National Firearms Act in the US
Yeah lol
The only thing I remember was they survived a hostile takeover and were becoming more Right to Bear Armsy
Nice, i hope that happens to the NRA in the near future
We have GOA for that but NRA has a lot more members
When i start my new job i'm going to join the GOA, SAF, and VCDL(virginia gun rights org)
Yeah, I've joined ISRA (Illinois State Rifle Association) partially to fund the fight in IL, but also to get access to M1's.
it's...
It's not going well
How so
In virginia we have good gun laws but the governor is anti gun and the state legislature is only 51R to 49D
As much as our R-governor, Rauner, stalled the gun laws, he let some of them through.
And now the Legislature AND the governor is turning hard blue
We also have state preemption so even though i live in the more liberal northern VA i get to enjoy the same laws as the rest of the state
like
AWB by February kinda blue.
Damn
and of course, Chicago and the rest of illinois just... don't really like each other, so despite literally the entirety of the southern Illinois protesting, it's gonna get passed anyway
oh yeah, and an ammo tax is coming up in the legislature too
Oh yeah i think i read about that, 1 cent tax per round
"Fuck you, .22lr shooters"
and everyone knows the cent per round is gonna go up once it's passed
Everyone I've talked to says somewhere between 5-7 cents per round
Anything to push people away from exercising their rights
Literally a poll tax
like, for us in southern illinois, it's just annoying
but for people trying to practice and have tight budgets for self defense
it's possibly a death knell
literally pushing the poor out
The main reason i got into guns was the politics
I was dragged along by my grandparents to the march for our lives since we live in northern va so i went along with them and seeing the protestors pushed me away over to the pro gun side
oh shit
I had never really paid attention to the gun debate before and seeing that these people didnt value the 2nd amendment at all changed my mind
funny, parkland really pushed me to finally get my FOID
~~and wait 90 days to exercise my 2nd amendment right~~
Lol
