Damn it, I want a suppressor!!!

I emailed Brownells regarding their Spike's fake can, and they said they don't ship to Canada due to regulations.

I don't get it. Why is there a restriction on FAKE suppressor??

It's too bad. They only sell it for $29. Questar has it for more than $50 a piece.

True. Any government agency, federal, provincial or municipal may purchase and use sound suppressors. All that is needed is a PAIN (Public Agency Identification Number). I know of a city zoo that has purchased suppressors for pest control. So it can be any agency as long as it is part of a government burocracy.

For me, I'd ask for an official purchase order signed by someone in a management position. That is just to ensure the transfer is official and it is going to the government agency and not an employee.

This makes my blood boil....:mad::mad:
 
we need liberal MPP to "find out" they could make money off this and its a safety thing too! then run back to there hive
 
Oi!

Suppressors should be cheap over-the-counter safety equipment. That IS what they are for, after all.

Of COURSE that's what they should be. But until the government has a real reason or incentive to de-prohibit them, they WON'T. And what does the government like after all? MONEY!

Some sort of tax might be enough to do it..... Of course if the factual reasons aren't enough incentive for it.
 
If we do not ask, suppressors will continue to be prohibited.

But, if we ask, carefully explaining the benefit of suppressors - not only to the enjoyment of the firearm owners and shooting ranges but also to the peace and quiet so valued by shooting range neighbors, and the public at large - there is no reason to think that public safety would be endangered by the sound suppressor being moved from "prohibited weapon" to "restricted weapon".

We can regulate them strictly, just as we regulate a "restricted" handgun, or an "restricted" AR-15, to keep the RCMP happy. The CFO's - by way of their various interventions - could assure everyone's safety.

We should start asking for legislation that will permit the lawful acquisition and employment of firearm sound suppressors for recreational target shooting, target practice, firearms instruction, and competition.
 
If anyone is interested. PM me your email if you're interested in working with or on or supporting a campaign to legalize suppressors, I'll try and get a mailing list together. I'll tell you right now, the Conservatives will not put the political capital on the chopping block in this parliament. It is however possible between 2015-2020 if we elect another Conservative majority, and if we get started on general education now. It will also help if we can do the same (and Wild Rose) at the provincial levels.
