The decline of the American Empire is before us.![]()
Why ? it just means they have more orders they can deal with.

Their inability to ramp up manufacturing compared to emerging markets; for over a hundred years America was second to none in manufacturing. Their government bureaucracy stifling exports to their largest trading partner and closest ally which is killing jobs and aggravating their national debt and the deterioration of their manufacturing sector. You cannot buy an American made 5.56 rifle in Canada yet the Chinese are selling them by the boatload. America is f**ked. Hell they are even restricting parts for the M1A as they are considered too military for export; the M1A is an ancient design and again the Chinese are selling them by the boatload.
My apologies to Questar for continuing this discussion in their forum, but I disagree with your assessment and the reasoning you use to support it.
There are lots of bureaucratic obstructions and perhaps some sub-optimal business decisions but I don't think the lack of U.S. made 5.56 rifles or M1A parts in Canada in any way indicates that "America is f**cked."
Their home market is much easier to serve and likely more lucrative. Ramping up production of firearms, parts and ammunition involves a lot of decisions and requires investment in plant, equipment, hiring and training, etc. most of which is not easily re-purposed if / when market conditions and demand change.

Your logic is stupid. You cannot buy any Chinese ARs in the US, does that mean "China is f**ked" too? ITAR might not be convenient for Canadians but it makes sense to keep all the fancy guns to them selves.
ITAR with respect to AR15s is probably "killing" all of two jobs, and i doubt it is "aggrevating their national debt".
Do you have any idea how tiny the market for ARs in canada is compared to the US? where they can actually hunt with them or let them see sunlight outside of a range?
