off topic, but i've been thinking that one of the unintended consequences of the trudeau bans is the forced innovation in the canadian firearms manufacturing market. there are now more guys making simpler firearms.
if canada ever gets into a shooting war it's not going to be like in ukraine where an uninvolved third party can keep feeding us weapons; if canada is in it then everyone else is in it and we are going to have to make our own guns. we are probably better prepared now than previously to arm ourselves.
