So is conspiring to shoot and kill someone, and that is exactly what the OP wants to know. Asking on an open forum for the most effective instrument for that "job". It may not be illegal, but it certainly is incriminating as is shows intent should the worst case scenario be played out. No small wonder the ANTI's want us disarmed, don't play this game....we'll all lose.
C'mon the OP is not conspiring to kill anyone.
Firearms may be used for self defence.
This is a quote from Vic Toews on the topic of self defence, property protection and firearms.
"We're changing the laws on self-defence and your right to protect your property," Toews told the gathering. "I'm not advocating that people use (guns) but if there's a legitimate ."
So if its a concern of the public and government and it is not unlawful why can't it be discussed. Attitudes won't change if we can't discuss this subject.
Here is a link to the article the quote came from.

• Living in smugglers' paradise *
They thought they were settling into a quiet life along the shores of the St. Lawrence east of Ottawa. Instead, they're living in fear as tobacco and drug smugglers do whatever it takes to make sure

Intro:
Three hours from Parliament Hill via the Akwesasne Mohawk reserve, this pastoral corner of Quebec is descending into a version of northwest Pakistan, with tribal outlaws and mobsters controlling much of this remote borderland in defiance of the central authority.
If you think that is melodramatic, consider this:
On a recent visit by federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews to listen to the fears of property owners about tobacco and drug smugglers hijacking the St. Lawrence River farming and cottage communities of southwest Quebec, the talk turned to shotguns, self-defence and possibly closing the international border crossing upriver at Cornwall altogether.
"We're changing the laws on self-defence and your right to protect your property," Toews told the gathering. "I'm not advocating that people use (guns) but if there's a legitimate ."
The small group of summer cottagers, farmers and others gathered around him nodded approvingly.
One, a highly-respected professional from Montreal who fears retribution if named, told Toews how river smugglers burned down one of his vacant cottages last winter. . . .
The scope of the smuggling is impossible to accurately quantify, though experts agree it generates hundreds of millions annually in black-market profits. One Cornwall-area tobacco smuggling kingpin arrested in 2006 was earning $250,000 a week, police said.
Dozens of organized crime groups big and small, from outlaw bikers and Italian mobsters to Vietnamese and Chinese gangs, use the same routes and infrastructure to move narcotics and illegal immigrants south into the U.S.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration estimates 13 metric tonnes of high-grade Canadian hydroponic marijuana - a week - was funnelled through Akwesasne in 2009. . . .
In an interview, Toews said senior Canadian and U.S. homeland security officials are exploring a joint customs post at Massena, New York, at the eastern entrance to Akwesasne/St. Regis.
"There's only two alternatives, we either shut down the border there completely (at Cornwall) or it goes to Massena," he said.
Americans "are in exactly the same position that we are. They are very concerned and it's not simply cigarettes, it's much more extensive than that and it spills into the whole area of (border) security...
