In Canada you need an F A C (Firearms Acquisition and Possession Permit) before you can buy any guns or ammunition any where and any time (Private or Public sales) . No Automatic weapons of any kind and Magazines are limted for Hunting purposes and any Large Mags are hard to find.
A handling & Safety course must be taken and a Background check and non related sponsors are required as well as your spouses signature saying you are not Nuts. This is done every 5 years no charge by the Federal Gov'nt. You can not carry Short Barrel other than to a regulated range except for special permits issued to Prospectors ,Trappers & Bush Pilots. With the exception of illegal guns (mostly smuggled in from the USA) the System seems to work fairly well not perfect but a very good step forward.
Your chances of you getting robbed are far greater in Canada by some one with an Edged Weapon and a Tire Iron is your response.
Have never needed my long or short barrelled weapons to take pictures Urban or Field in 50 years!
For the Life of me I Cannot understand Why a Grown Man (NRA ,father , Grandfather , Brother) would stand up for the Rights of a Nut Job to possess and to Murder 21 Children and their Teachers without trying to find a solution to said Nut Jobs possession of lethal weapons.
