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

I know in new york(may just be nyc) its a crime to touch a gun at all if you dont have a license

Some places have really bad laws because the SCOTUS hasn't really taken gun cases

Lower courts are allowed to get away with a lot

kavanaugh didn't seem to change things much either
