It's simple we will pay it. Supply and demand, priced for max profit. Taxes and regulations in canada make little difference. All businesses price to make as much profit as possible. Either though volume or mark up. Canadian volume is low. The export regulations in the US do add costs. Unless the product is made specifically for Canadian regulations price should be comprable but higher to reflect export paperwork.

I understand the higher taxes on beer because for a lot of consumers it's a must have product, and the gov't makes it's money on these taxes. But guns... come-on the percentages of purchases are so much lower then the amount of beer bought...

It's all about volume of sales and paperwork.
As in, a US distributor will buy 50,000 of a given model while Canadian might order 500...
US manufacturer don't have to deal with a difference bureaucracy to sell their guns in the US... They do to sell to Canadians.
