ITT: Complaining about shills and dank weed
I don't do weed, nor do I plan to since I will be going into a government job

I'll probably try some once it eventually hits the stores.
>inb4 its like 2-3 fucking years because "lol we need to do some research and piss away 100 gorillion dollars"

Why does every party feel the need to control everything. Why do people want to have their lives micromanaged? Fuck sakes.
>Weed is pretty overrated
I'm pretty sure weed does make you stupid and has is addictive to some degree, but I still want it legal.
>>27779237
Neither. Last time I handled an M305 at Wanstalls the front sight was visibly canted to the side and Type-97s are easily the most unergonomic rifle I have ever handled.
>>27779265
canted sight is easy fix, though.
>>27779252
I agree with you completely. There's no reason for it not to be legalized.
>Why does every party feel the need to control everything.
Because we live in Canada :^) We are a nation of law, order and good governance :^)
>>27779265
Too bad for you. I handled both and liked them. I wanted a Vz first, but the price gouging is rediculous.
>>27779285
US is supposed to be a 'free nation' and yet its government feels the need to control morality almost as badly as ours does. The Founding Fathers would be fucking disgusted.
>price gouging
I had a CZ-858 and a CSA vz-58. The CSA was superior in every aspect to the CZ-858. You are paying for an objectively better firearm.

Used, they're rationally sub-900.
>>27779792

>>27779795
got mine over a year ago for like $1050 new. I've had my RPAL almost 2 years now, and if CSA were ever sub 900 I never once saw it.

While it looks better without another country's flag juxtaposed in the top left corner, I don't much care for flags with tiny, hard to see details.
I think symbols should be kept large, and fairly simple so the flag as a whole can be drawn quickly and easily.

My best friends family was torn apart because her daddy would drink too much marijuana and start hitting them.

>is addictive to some degree
Addiction is a mental illness found in those predisposed for it, and happens independent of the chemical composition of a drug. People become addicted to gambling, risk-taking behavior, or even MMORPGs, all of which involve no drug consumption. Addiction must also negatively affect one's life in some way; for this reason we aren't considered addicted to water or breathing even though they're compulsive behaviors.
Dependence, on the other hand, is the body's natural adaptation to a new substance, and occurrs whether one is an addict or not. People with chronic pain are given opiates many times more powerful than heroin, yet they do not become addicts. Children are prescribed methamphetamine for ADD, yet they don't start turning tricks on the playground corner to buy more speed. Weed, like hallucinogens, doesn't exhibit any significant formation of dependence.
It does make you stupid, though.

Weed is pretty good for insomnia, lack of appetite and muscle/joint pain.
It's pretty harmless if you're not operating heavy machinery or have some sort of medical condition/take medication for which it is contraindicated.
Like everything else, moderation is key.
>>27781694
>for insomnia
I've known a few people who "can't get to sleep unless they smoke weed".
I think that starts falling into the realm of addiction.
>>27781765
That depends on whether the insomnia is caused by the marijuana or not.
If someone spends 15 years working on 5 hours of sleep and then they find out they can get 8 or 9 hours if they take 1/4 gram before bed, I'm not going to be the one to tell them they can't do it and you'd have to be kind of an asshole to do so and not feel at least a little empathy for the person.

I'm an Ontario based KFag who has is PAL and looking for a "tactical" styled pump shotgun preferably for under $500 Cad.
By tactical I mainly just mean I want an 18.5" barrel length.
Uses would be target shooting, farm x cabin shooting and home defense concerns.
>>27782418
You have your standard Mossberg or Remington, or if you want to go cheaper, Canadaammo has Dominion (ie. rebranded Norinco) 870 clones. They also do a tiny 8.5" pump shotgun too, for pure home defense.
>>27782418
The Nova is also a good choice, I've always really liked them. Only didn't get one because when I got my 870 the only Novas they had were 20GA or youth models
>>27782126
I'm waiting until January to see if I'm making progress on my /fit/ routine.
I'm also expecting a panic-hire spree for the Navy soon.
>>27782537
>>27782514
Thanks for the replys guys. Really wish PAL in Ontario allowed smaller barrel lengths than 18.5" there is a beautiful Grizzly 12.5" on CanadaAmmo
>>27782720
Does it not?
I thought those rules were the same everywhere
I don't have any pics of my 12GA on here, but it's the exact same model
>>27782569
Why are you expecting that?
Our fleet is borderline sunk AFAIK, that's without hyperbole even.
>>27782741
470mm = 18.5"
>>27782720
Barrel length isn't much of a concern for non-restricted firearms. It's overall length that is the concern.
Pic related is a Norinco double barrelled outlaw. Non restricted. Don't mind the Skorpion
>>27782720
It should, as long as it meets the overall length requirement.
>>27782768
That's only for semi-autos
A pump can have any barrel length, only OAL matters
>>27782720
The 12.5" with a full stock is NR. It's only when you put a folding stock that is restricted.
>pic related
How likely is pic related going to blow up on my m305 or any reviews on NCStar optics. May have bought one of the 4x optics to specifically test its ability to withstand 7.62x51
>>27783337
>NCSTAR
bottom of the bin garbage
>>27783343
I am this poor. Is there any passable 4x optics in the 200 or less range. POSP scopes any good?
>>27783343
To be fair, it's not marketed for heavy use. It's cheap and shitty and only good for plinking, which is what most people who buy them use them for.
>>27783384
they're decent quality glass yeah.
adjustments are a bit weird since the reticle actually moves when you adjust it, but maybe thats just mine
>>27783426
Well i got one and i've heard people say the fixed 4x are not as bad as the other so for $80 its worth a try if it fucks up i'll warranty it and put the new one on a .223 rifle or something.
>>27783548
Cool thanks ill look into getting one after a break the NCstar
Has anyone here tried out the LA-K12 semi-auto shotguns? (Just a type 97 scaled up into a shotgun).
They look kind of fun. Adjustable gas port for heavy or light loads and a top rail included unlike the normal 97s.
>>27783620
Some guy in the other thread said it was alright. Seems pretty handy, and the adjustable gas port is a must on semiauto shotguns. I wish there were higher cap mags pinned to 5 rounds. Purely for aesthetic reasons, of course.

>very few government jobs piss test
>>27783831
>weed isn't going to become legal in that capacity,
That's the only capacity that legalization refers to. Perhaps you're thinking of decriminalization? The Libs specifically campaigned on the former, not the latter, so if they're going to actually deliver on their promises, expect to see weed on the shelves.
>>27783831
>it isn't legal anywhere in the world
I guess Colorado isn't a where but a who
>>27783895
No, I don't mean decriminalization, I mean it will be legal, but regulated to such an insane degree it will cost more than street weed
Kind of like how it is in uruguay or the netherlands, the places people cite as it being "legal"
>>27783903
sorry I meant on a national level, if that wasn't already implied
is it even fully legal in colorado though? can you actually have a massive industrial sized weed farm and crank out weed like cigarettes?
>>27783868
it's true, piss tests aren't a big thing here like they are in the US
look it up family
>>27783926
>regulated to such an insane degree it will cost more than street weed
We'll have to wait and see. "Legalize and tax the shit out of" is a fucking moronic course of idea despite its popularity, because that's the best way to drive production and sales back into the black market.
How is Colorado and Washington's approach? I don't smoke, so I don't know what the going rates were before and after legalization, both on the white and black market.
>>27784033
*course of action
>>27784033
personally I live in van, and there are "legal" weed shops
their weed is anywhere from 1.5x to 2x the cost of street weed
>>27784046
Legal in the sense of medical marijuana? That's a much more limited market, with understandably higher rates. One would expect, all things held equal, for prices to fall as more competition enters the production and retail market. Even moreso if regulations regarding those two sectors are reduced to incentivize above-board business.
But then again, it's the Liberals, so expecting sound economic policy is a tall order.
>>27784103
I think a national "legal" weed system would be very similar to the medical weed market here
it's funny how they think it will magically create money
do they not realize we already do make a lot of money off weed through sales tax, property tax, tax on grow equipment etc.
yes if it's taxed the government will see more of it, but it's not going to be a giant influx of new money that's going to bolster our economy
though i don't know why i even bother

I agree that the "legalize and tax it lol" is reddit-tier faggotry.
Local price in my area is 10-15/gram, I can expect that by the time the .gov gets their fat fingers in the mix it's up to $15-20/gram minimum (plus tax of course).
Unless I could buy bulk amounts at Costco of course, buy more save more desu
>>27784590

It upsets me far more than it should that you cannot sell liquor in non-liquor stores, and that you can't buy individual cigarettes, etc.

Who's gonna buy a Sig mcx?
>>27785650
Why? Even if it were non-restricted I wouldn't, and its assuredly going to be an "AR variant".
>>27785707
It's been approves by the RCMP as an AR derivative, so it's restricted. Apparently it's gonna go on sale soonish, definitely before the end of the year.
>>27785721

>>27785721

>>27784033
>best way to drive production and sales back into the black market.
Because that's totally happened to tobacco and alcohol. It's like you don't even realize that weed, like alcohol and tobacco, is an inelastic good.
>>27783938
There are weed bars with budtenders in Seattle but I've never gone to one because the prices from the same guy I had before it was legal are still way cheaper and his stuff is way stronger. I don't think they're allowed to sell prerolled stuff though. There are probably limits on how much you can grow, but it's likely no one gives a fuck, because once they opened the floodgates they gave up on actually being able to enforce specific regulations, because there are thousands of loopholes if the state government decides to give a fuck, which they probably won't.
>>27784823
>can't buy liquor in non-liquor stores; can't buy individual cigarettes
Where's this family? My state I can buy everclear at Kroger and the gas stations sell singles of shit brands like Pyramid as "filtered cigars" for .25 each
>>27786102
To some degree that is true with tobacco- look at all the smuggling via native reserves on the US border. I remember in the 90s New York state had to reduce its tobacco tax because they were losing money versus what they previously made thanks to increased tobacco smuggling.
>>27786082
I've seen guys ask 1900 for used TP9s (usually they come with a few magazines) on the EE. I think 1500 would be a lucky find.

There you go.
In Canada it is illegal to sell liquor at a non-approved store, though here in BC they changed the law recently to allow some of it in liquor stores (in reality there is like none I've seen)
Also, selling single cigarettes is also illegal in many places.
>>27786249
Ontario has LCBO(fed run liquor store). We just approved 6pack craft beer in select grocery stores and small offshoot locations kinda like Holy smokes or wine rack if anyone knows those.
>>27786309
Wine is a lot less regulated. I just buy most of mine online directly from the winery, since I mostly drink craft Ontario wines.
>>27786102
Quality weed is very easy to grow in small-scale operations. You cannot do the same for tobacco, because it requires plantations in regions with suitable climate. Indoor growing of tobacco for commercial sales is not feasible.
And as for alcohol, it's much more readily used in our society, so only large-scale breweries and distilleries can supply the general public. Yes, there are microbreweries, but the vast majority of the public is supplied by significant commercial operations. And if you're referring to prohibition, did you foget that it only lasted 13 years? After it ended, pre-prohibition alcohol firms started back up again because their brands were still well known. Nobody wanted to go back to Scooter's whisky brewed down in the hollow, when there were actual brands on the shelves again.
Whereas currently, almost all the marijuana on the market is produced illegally, and given how easy it is to obtain, most of the demand is already satisfied and it is unlikely to go up any significant amount post-legalization. If legalized weed is more expensive, you will see black-market suppliers go back in business, because their production infrastructure still exists. And you will see consumers go right back to buying on the black market, because their former contacts still exist.
Maybe if you were to give it a decade or two of low-taxed, loosely regulated production and sales (in order for major brands to establish themselves, for black-market suppliers to go out of business/go legit, and for the bulk of the consumer base to become accustomed to buying weed at stores), then you might see the inelasticity you're referring to. But if legalization is a flop right off the bat, then the black market will pick back up the very next day.
>>27788043
>If legalized weed is more expensive
They'd be crazy to not make it cheaper.
Justin wanted to legalize weed to deter illegal distribution. If a consumer had the choice between spending less money and obeying the law, or spending more money and disobeying the law, they wouldn't have to think twice about which to choose.
The whole point of legalization is to disincentivize the illegal alternative.
>>27788240
Exactly. The anon I was replying to doesn't seem to understand this. He seems to think the black market will somehow disappear as soon as legalization happens, regardless of the kind of legislative burdens placed on the open market.
>>27788288
Most people are risk-adverse and lazy, in their minds it's going to just be easier and safer to get weed from legal sources than from illegal ones. That, and you can fucking bet there's going to be a campaign to smear black market weed as potentially dangerous due a complete lack of health/quality control, unlike legal weed which will have regulations in place so that it isn't cut with cocaine or some other shady shit.
>>27788373
The open market will certainly bear a higher price due to the convenience of buying weed at the store during business hours (rather than having to meet their dealer), and due to the lack of legal risk. But you must remember that almost everyone who consumes weed now already gets it from the black market, so they will be immune to any propaganda about the dangers of the black market. The question is whether there will be a significant number of new entrants to the legal weed market. I doubt it will be as large as the black market consumer base, so you will end up with a pool of consumers who were previously fine with buying and using illegally, now faced with potentially outrageous prices. That doesn't leave much incentive for them to stay in the open market. Some will, if their maximum acceptable price point is high enough, but others will fall back to their old ways.
It's impossible to make any accurate predictions about the particular effects of pot tax and regulation, so we'll have to see what happens.
>>27788510
I actually think the effect of new entrants is going to be far more influential than you're portraying, because we're not just talking about new users who are now willing to try weed now that's it's legal, but also future generations who are going to grow up in society with legalized weed and thus no knowledge or interest in turning to black market weed.
>>27788550
>future generations
That depends on whether the open market works or not. If the prices are so high that few businesses enter it and few consumers buy from it, then the underground weed culture will thrive and the open market will be a colossal failure.
Whether future generations will favor the black or open market will be decided on whether the open market attracts enough consumers to compete with the blak market. The original point was that taxing and regulating it into oblivion is not the way to do this.

>>27791282
I'm pretty sure the Saiga shotguns are 12ga out of the box, and that the conversion you're referring to is to allow double stack mags in the rifle configuration models.
>>27791296
Oh well shit. I thought people were converting saigas into other calibers and shit.
>>27791319
That's possible. I heard some guy managed to convert some sort of AK to black powder cartridges, and still have it be semi auto.
>>27791331
My idea was a .308 Puma with the T97 FTU installed. I don't know enough about the gun itself to put such a thing in motion though and I'm too cheap to bother to get one.
>>27791353
You probably could do it though. You'd just need to be a full on gun smith to do it, and it would probably cost thousands of dollars.

this is the case in Uruguay and the Netherlands
>The whole point of legalization is to disincentivize the illegal alternative
not when the policies are implemented by retards
>>27788373
everyone who smokes weed already has a weed dealer, when you're talking about double or triple the price i think that's enough incentive
there will likely be huge restrictions on production capacity that illegal grow ops don't have to obey
>>27792059
Something you haven't mentioned yet is that I'm sure the regulated weed is going to be much less potent AND more expensive.
Guess what people are going to do after that? Go right back to the dealers.
So how about them rifles guys? Makes me sad we have to talk politics in a /k/ Canada thread because the /pol/ Canada threads are nothing but shit.
>>27792170
You're a fucking moron if you think the marijuana grown for dispensaries is less potent than shit you can get from dealers.
>>27792170
i've been waiting for the range i joined to open since august :(
>>27792170
>>27792178
it's usually about the same, from my experience, potency wise
the medical stuff is way pricier though
>>27792170
>less potent
Have you been to Colorado or Washington? Legality doesn't stop it from being capitalism at work. The business is cutthroat. You compete or your starve.
>>27792170
>/pol/ anything threads are nothing but shit.
FTFY. /pol/ is not a place to discuss politics.
Should I get an sks?
lgs in alberta has russian sks for $250.
I'm a hungry skeleton so I tend to use lower-recoil funs, if that's relevant
>>27792226
Yeah, I'm happy with the recoil on my VZ58, it should be similar.
>Source, also hungry skellington mode.
>6'1" and 140 lbs
>>27792226
There's never really a reason not to buy an SKS IMO
>>27792226
>Should I get an sks?
The only possible answer to this question is yes.
>>27792235
the SKS has lighter recoil I found, but probably because its like 2 pounds heavier.
I prefer the vz58 though.
I'm going into the CF for armour.

What guns are issued to our sexy RCMP boiz?
>>27792337
S&W 5900 series
>>27792337
G22's or S&W 5906 in DA only.
then they'll get their 870's and C8 Carbines.
>>27792326
Admittedly, there are no "good" trades in the CF. It's all based on preference. I don't think there's one good trade that is universally agreed on.
>>27792337
S&W 5946
Basically a 5906 (which are good) with an absolutely horrendous DAO trigger
>>27792402
All the government agencies seems to issue DAO guns. I know Corrections Canada issues DAO P2000s to all COs.
>>27784033
Washington here. You can buy up to I believe four ounces of plain old green-bud pot at once. I believe it's four, it's some arbitrary amount. For a fairly serious user (smoke 1-3 bowls to relax most nights (1-3 bowls would be roughly equivalent to two decent sized, strong mixed drinks)) that would last ATLEAST the month. I went through a period where I was almost constantly smoking, between classes and social outings, and even then I only went through 4-5 ounces a month.
Prices can vary based on how sneaky the business is about law, and how much they value their customers. My favorite local shop has average store prices, $15-30/gram based on potency (a gram will last 3-6 bowls, depending on the size of the pipe in question) but offer atleast four or five different strains every day that are 'discounted' to $10/gram, which - wouldn't you know it - is the average, fair street price.
The whole thing gets way more muddled when you add concentrates, edibles, pre-rolls etc
>>27792435

>>27792435
I think the CBSA uses non-fucked PX4s
>>27792469
Oh yeah...
Too bad they are PX4s.
>>27792476
Meh, aside from the annoying safety position and inability to use a suppressor (which is irrelevant for us anyways) I like the PX4
>>27792502
I've been told by several people that their trigger is garbage.
>>27792524
>several people
I find it hard to believe several people even bought the things.
>>27792524
The one I shot once felt okay, not great but okay. Maybe I was lucky.
I wouldn't buy one, but I don't dislike them

It's been quite a long time since a MP with a military background took the position of Min. of Nat. Def.
Plus he's a minority too.
Praise Vishnu desu senpai
>>27793150
Do guys really use those shitty tac vests when they deploy? What good is a vest that can only hold 4 mags and can't be modified?
So how fucked are we with the new cabinet? Time to break out the cosmoline and start urging Alberta and Saskatchewan to secede?

>Tfw too poor for any guns right now anyway
>>27792394
I was thinking about going into the Army Reserves as a side job. Any reservists here who can sell me on a particular trade? I'm leaning towards just doing the Eddys.
>>27793421
It'll never, ever happen, Anon. Let it go.
>>27781765
I can't fall asleep without jerking off
>>27793479
Was in the Eddies for a couple years, quit because we never did anything.
If you like "working" four evenings a month, one of which is ball hockey all night, then it's the part-time job for you. Though the training is fun, when it actually happens.
IMO, infantry is the only worthwhile trade in the reserves, so you should go with your leanings.
>>27792337
I've seen my local cops carry Glock 17s but they are O.P.P as well

memes aside and him being technically a neverloo born in India, this is probably the best fit for office in the entire cabinet, and most relevant-experience Defense Minister we've had for decades.

how worries should we be about picrelated as the Minister of Bans and Confiscations?

>>27792226
$250 is overpaying for it unless it's some mint collectors grade shit
The average price is $200 before tax.
>>27794925
Fortunately, Trudeau also has some Mcguinty advisors to help him out, like Gerald Butts.
>>27795068
He isn't as bad as some, but I don't see him defending us. I think the only thing that will really protect gun owners is how busy the government will be with other stuff.
>>27795068
I heard he voted for bill C-42. His riding is also in Regina, Saskatchewan so at least your fudd guns will be safe.
>>27793516
What sort of fitness level does the reserves need? I'm out of shape, but working on that right now.
>Inb4 fat
No, just out of shape. Never got into running or sports or anything, so I'm tall wil a bit of a beer gut and low cardio.
>>27795213
Fuck. I only have like two fudd-ish guns. A norinco shotgun and a K31.
bye bye AR and Pistols. ;_;

>>27793150
met the guy, he's actually super nice and down to earth. Surprised Andrew Leslie didn't get MoD since he's got experience creating policy for the Armed forces. But Trudeau wanted to appease minorities and BC voters at the same time and had in the very least picked a guy with a good background for the job
Do you guys have Gun safes ? Where did you find one ?
>>27795329
I only have a gun cabinet, I might move, so a gun cabinet is more disposable/movable.
I got mine on Amazon.
>>27795329
I bought a 10-gun stack-on cabinet from Canadian Tire for $120. I keep it bolted down in the closet, behind a sturdy locked door (when I'm out of the house). Not theft proof but it satisfies CFC requirements well and beyond
>implying I couldn't be fucked over for unsafe storage because the keys are in the house and are thus too accessible
>>27795354
The one major positive of buying from amazon for me was the free shipping, I drive a compact luxury, so there's no comfortable way of bringing it back home myself.
>>27792180
By any chance is it a range in BC whose name is literally "The Range"?
>>27795072
The average Canadian citizen isn't as educated as you are, unfortunately.
Hell, even I didn't know until you told me.
>>27795329
Cabinet. More piece of mind than anything.
>>27795551
I honestly wouldn't give a shit if it was all women, so long as they are the best for the job out of all the MP's, same if it was all men.
Just that some people don't know that gender parity=/= gender equality
>>27795551
It's pretty disheartening. The thing is the first female cabinet minister in Canadian history was appointed by Dief the chief.
>>27795233
You're pretty much good. If you can do 20 pushups and run 2.5km in 12 minutes or so, you'll be more than fine. We had a disgusting fatbody who couldn't run for shit, and he still made it in. Reserve fitness standards are a fucking joke.
>>27795595
Me personally, I think it's a bad move because it'll just open up a new can of worms.
>Equality for genders? What about race, you shitlord?
>Yeah, and who's gonna represent the LGBT community?
>Hellooooo, are we forgetting about religion? Ooooooooh, we've got one Sikh. And the rest is what, christian? Stop oppressing me!
>Check your privilege, at least women are getting representation! They still haven't addressed us transfluid biscuitfolk!
>Me am red man. This land once red man land. White man take red land. Red man persecuted for centuries. Chief Running Bear dissatisfied.
>>27795644
>>27795595
He's just innoculating himself against criticism. Hardcore feminists and organizations will not attack an outwardly pro-feminist prime minister, at least not until they do something that'll really offend their delicate sensibilities. It's pretty smart actually.
>>27795644
all those are negligible in terms of population size.
The majority of those are already represented and all they need is a LGBT one and they can claim to represent the group with respect to its percentage of the population or by simply being pro whatever their cause is.
>>27795623
>20 pushups
I can handle that.
>Run 2.5 km in 10 minutes
I could WALK that in 10.
But I heard they brought up the standards a bit? They all do the FORCES test now?
>>27795710
Dunno. Can't seem to find on the shitty government sites whether the new testing scheme applies for Reserves as well. Either way, the new test standards are pretty lame as well.
>>27795445
I bought the same cabinet, except it's not bolted down, and it's in my apartment closet.

What's being in the Navy like? I live in Esquimalt, so having that as a home base, if possible, would be great.
>>27795644
>Equality for genders? What about race, you shitlord?
You're actually right on this.
4/ 30 are Indo-Canadians.accounting for 13% of the Cabinet
Yet there are no blacks or East Asians. All the Asian ridings voted liberal this time around yet not even a random Asian or black in some useless department.
The Liberals threw blacks and yellows under a bus.

Good one m8.
So I am looking to sell a Remington 870 that has been collecting dust for some time. how does one go about selling a non restricted firearm in Canada. on top of that, what is a relatively safe and reliable means of doing a sale? For those curious was going to sell it for 380 CAD.
>>27796237
Now they'll know to vote Conservative next election!
>>27796369
Maybe people actually will now that the "Stop Harper" maymay is finally dead
>>27796289
Try the EE on CGN.
>380 for a used 870
You'll fit right in.
>>27796391
thanks, is 380 too much to ask? its clean and has been untouched for a number of years.
>>27796289
>collecting rust
ftfy
>>27796423
Actually I guess 380 isn't too bad, some guys are asking like 450 and up.
Depends on the model really.
Wanstalls has brand new 870s on sale for 350 right now though.
http://www.wanstallsonline.com/remington-model-870-express-synthetic-12-gauge-25587.html
>>27796423
Price of a Remington 870 at...
>Wanstalls: $349.99
>Wolverine Supplies: $413.00
>Wholesale Sports: $399.99
>SFRC: $359.95
>P&D Enterprises: $460.00
>Cabela's Canada: $424.99
If a retailer sells it for less, you're asking too much.
If a retailer sells it for slightly higher, you're still asking too much.
And there are Chinese clones of the 870 that are way cheaper, too. Rumor has it that they're just as good after a few minor adjustments, if not better.
>>27796289
>>27796391
really depends if it's an older well-built 870 or the newer express crap
>>27796384
It'll be "stop insert new leader's name here" next time, complete with all the bad things that he/she does/says/is
>>27796644
We'll be lucky if they only get one term then it swings back to the Cons who have (hopefully) had some reforms.
>>27796644
What I like is that everyone rags on the American two-party system, and completely ignores that our system is literally the same. Almost every single government in the history of Canada has been either Liberal or Conservative.
Democracy is a joke.

The last US election results had Obama win 51.06% of the vote. Literally "51% of people controlling the other 49%".
Makes me question if we shouldn't start breaking up states and countries into individual groups where you can freely move to to enjoy your desired system.
>>27796793
I better start saving up I guess :^)
>>27796815
Anon was putting lightly most start at 4k-6k that have come up recently. May be better to look states side and import.
>>27796238
..........I'd love to see someone post that on his FB page
>>27796940
Yeah this. They are still fairly cheap in the US, and the price carries over, even after the conversion and import fees.
Any non-restricted rifles in Canada that are as modular as the AR platform?
Doesn't even have to look like an AR. Just needs to be non-restricted and highly customizable.
>>27797243
Literally nothing is as modular as an AR.
VZs, AR-180s, and Tavors have a pretty decent aftermarket though.
>>27779513
>But all that sweet tax revenue to be shoveled directly into First Nations...
Fixed that for you
>>27797429
And none of it will go towards making the reserves less disgusting, just the Chief's wallets.
>>27793175
Only been since 2006 actually. Gordon o Connor was a CF General.
>>27797443
But god forbid Canada does something that infringes on their sovereignty, like asking them to make their expenses a matter of public record, so both their band members and the rest of Canada can see where the free money goes. Will the colonial boot on the aboriginal people's throat ever lift?
>>27797790
Literally nothing will ever "pay back" what "we" did.
Fuck them, make their reserves private land, make them real Canadians citizens with no special benefits beyond what we have, and if they fail they fail.
>>27797808
I believe Harper did actually want to do that if he was re elected,
>>27797783
Andrew Leslie is another MP from the Armed Forces
he's a former General

I like how the men (on both sides) who signed the treaties are long dead, but their posterity are forever bound by it. You try to pull that kind of shit in any other type of contract, and you'd get laughed out of court. But apparently governments are exempt from the normal and universally-agreed rules of contract-making.
>>27797860
Governments are exempt from whatever they feel, they're inherently broken. I can't push myself to being AnCap but fucking hell they're tempting me.
