The way the Trudeau Liberals are going to destroy sport shooting in Canada, I can see them offering pennies on the dollar.
It depends on if Global Affairs Canada will deem that exporting "scary black guns" to international civilian markets may not be in Canada's best interests and refuse to issue an export permit. A lot also depends on the import laws of the receiving nation.
Most of the American made systems could be returned here, but anything foreign is a crap shoot as the Norinco’s are a no go, and our sporting requirements for foreign import (other than LE/Gov usage or demo) mean a lot of that stuff in Canada would be a no, or require some changes. That said parts kits from torch cut reciever’s would be of interest for some of the more rare items.

Its the Liberal way - and the way of a number of people who seek to control every aspect of your life.
A lot of the shootings in Red States could likely be put down to good guys with guns stopping bad guys with guns. People in blue states are probably a little more squishy and reluctant to put down vermin, if they even have the means. Red states likely equate to more gun owners and more people ready to scrape shit off their shoe.Fascinating... I wonder if there are similar cultural patterns in Canada?
Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close.
America’s regions are poles apart when it comes to gun deaths and the cultural and ideological forces that drive them.
Listen to the southern right talk about violence in America and you’d think New York City was as dangerous as Bakhmut on Ukraine’s eastern front.
In October, Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis proclaimed crime in New York City was “out of control” and blamed it on George Soros. Another Sunshine State politico, former president Donald Trump, offered his native city up as a Democrat-run dystopia, one of those places “where the middle class used to flock to live the American dream are now war zones, literal war zones.” In May 2022, hours after 19 children were murdered at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott swatted back suggestions that the state could save lives by implementing tougher gun laws by proclaiming “Chicago and L.A. and New York disprove that thesis.”
In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.
If you grew up in the coal mining region of eastern Pennsylvania your chance of dying of a gunshot is about half that if you grew up in the coalfields of West Virginia, three hundred miles to the southwest. Someone living in the most rural counties of South Carolina is more than three times as likely to be killed by gunshot than someone living in the equally rural counties of New York’s Adirondacks or the impoverished rural counties facing Mexico across the lower reaches of the Rio Grande.
The reasons for these disparities go beyond modern policy differences and extend back to events that predate not only the American party system but the advent of shotguns, revolvers, ammunition cartridges, breach-loaded rifles and the American republic itself. The geography of gun violence — and public and elite ideas about how it should be addressed — is the result of differences at once regional, cultural and historical. Once you understand how the country was colonized — and by whom — a number of insights into the problem are revealed.
The Surprising Geography of Gun Violence

It’s still so odd to me that despite having a 2nd amendment…someone living in Texas with a CCW, being a law abiding citizen & respected as such - can find themselves in prison in a state like NJ while not changing a single thing about their lifestyle or going out to intentionally commit a single crime
I am losing money on this myself, but at the end of the day my livelihood isn’t impacted by it. I am not going to go without food due to this ban. Some dealers will be struggling and may have to close up shop over this.
That's what truly shocked me about the Liberal's attempt to get municipalities to ban handguns. They claim to have learned from and want to not repeat "the American gun experience" but were well on their way to creating the same patchwork of gun laws as they have, just to win urban votes. Hypocrisy at it's best.
The argument for most part is a Red Herring.Fascinating... I wonder if there are similar cultural patterns in Canada?

Far easier to demonize a group in a manner that secures votes, than to truly address the MH and public security challenges. I don’t think things will change if the government’s interests aren’t aligned with the majority of society (not just the aligned voter base).
As EITS wisely pointed out, gun laws in Canada have nothing to do with solving the violence problem. It's about votes and nothing else. During the run up to the 2019 election, Liberal strategists identified gun control and gun bans as an untapped source of votes in urban Canada.
