    So frustrating.
    It’s outrageous, and completely irrational.

    Yup, glad I moved to a place that has more reasonable gun laws.

    Don't see the appeal of Surefire cans though. They're loud AF! The only one that's "hearing safe" is the SOCOM 300 SPS (on a 300 Blackout).

    Folks gotta push provincial and federal health & safety officials on the suppessor issue to allow their unrestricted use by all shooters.

    i actually pushed an outfitter friend of mine to bring it up at their annual convention.
    its this sort of org ( the shooting orgs are useless ) that could challenge the government under the OH&S regs.
    workplace hearing loss is a big thing or obviously not here in canada
    typical British wankers

    Personally I think it could be pretty feasible to get suppressors allowed in Canada. We are one of the very few western first world countries that don't allow them on any level. It just has to be done smartly.

    And the idiotic electorate that put them there, people for the most part haven't a clue who they voted for, hence this diabolical situation we are in.
