What are you basing this upon? In the US a muzzle device needs to produce a 3 dB sound reduction in order to be classified as a suppressor. Canada's law is not written that way, however I have heard that RCMP have unofficially adopted the 3 dB limit as well. I highly doubt a muzzle brake cover would produce anything like that.

Maybe since it "connects" like there suppressors someone decided that it is a suppressor? Who knows. LOL

All muzzle brakes and flash suppressors attach in the same way that many suppressors attach .... via muzzle threads.

Canadian law dictates, to be classified a suppressor, the device must reduce the sounds by 3db.

You think wrong. There is no dB limit in the Criminal Code.

I don't have a link specifically advising of the 3db metric. It was communicated by the boys from the mounty lab. It was also said in the same breath, the way the law is written, ear pro would also be classified as a prohibited device as it is "designed or intended to muffle or stop the sound or report of a firearm". So take it for what it's worth. I should also point out, I am not certain this is "law" but a reference only.

My point to all of this is the warden shouldn't be prohibited, but who knows these days.

48. A prohibited device is:

(a) any component or part of a weapon, or any accessory for use with a weapon that is prescribed to be a prohibited device (e.g. any device designed for the purpose of discharging cartridges in rapid succession, bull-pup stocks, etc.);
(b) a handgun barrel that is equal to or less than 105 mm (approximately 4.1 inches) in length, but does not include any such handgun barrel that is prescribed where the handgun barrel is used in international sporting competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Union;
(c) a device or contrivance designed or intended to muffle or stop the sound or report of a firearm, such as silencers (please note that some silencers attached to airsoft guns may also be deemed prohibited devices if they can be used in real firearms);
(d) large-capacity cartridge magazines prescribed by regulation; or
(e) a replica firearm.

LMFAO EAR PLUGS?! Are you serious? Whoever that Mountie is that said ear protection is technically a prohibited device may have more toes than IQ points and needs to lose his job. I mean do they even have a basic understanding of English?

Ear protection doesn't "muffle the sound of a firearm" the firearm is just as loud as it always was. It's like that saying about a tree falling in the forest and nobody hears it.

This really makes me laugh that anybody can be quite that stupid, while they're at it why don't they ban walls or distance or deaf people.
