Terror In The Great White North!

No water boarding needed. Just tape their eyes open and force them to watch The Red and Green show. They will totally crack in short order.

What's wrong with Red Green??

see, they have rednecks in Canada too.

[Kristy]

Deadmau5 is also from Canada. You can get highly baked and quite enjoy them...er, him.

[Angel]

Do you have to pass a background check for a long gun up there? Serious question.

Yes. Criminal record checks required for all guns.

It's not Red & Green. It's Red Green. That's the characters name...and it is probably the dumbest shit to ever hit the tv screens.

Ah, then it's the same as it is here. Well, at least in my state. We have to pass a background check for long guns too. Which doesn't bother me one bit.

[Angel]

It's Harper. He paid some goons to make some terrorist attacks so he eventually can declare marshal law and become dictator of Canada.

Well, that would give him reason not to call an election next fall...

No, that would be 'The Walking Dead'

Some of the biggest rednecks I have ever met were from Alberta.

Here's the Wiki version of gun licensing here:

Individuals who wish to possess or acquire firearms in Canada must have a valid possession-acquisition, or possession-only, licence (PAL/POL); either of these licences allows the licensee to purchase ammunition. The PAL is distributed exclusively by the RCMP and is generally obtained in the following three steps:

Safety training: To be eligible to receive a PAL, all applicants must successfully complete the Canadian Firearms Safety Course[13] (CFSC) for a non-restricted licence, and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course[14] (CRFSC) for a restricted licence; the non-restricted class is a prerequisite to the restricted licence. The RCMP publishes information on the locations and availability of these courses.[15]
Applying for a licence: Currently only one type of licence is available to new applicants, the possession-acquisition licence (PAL). People can request a PAL by filling out Form CAFC 921.[16]
Security screening: Background checks and investigations are performed. All applicants are screened, and a mandatory 28-day waiting period is imposed on first-time applicants, but response time may be longer.[17]

Licences are typically valid for five years and must be renewed prior to expiry to maintain all classes. Once licensed, an individual can apply for a firearm transfer;[18] and an authorization to transport (ATT) for restricted firearms.[19] People may hunt with firearms in Canada only with non-restricted firearms, and this requires an additional "Hunting with Firearms" course.

Doesn't sound too onerous to me. The only part I don't like is that the "license" expires. Seems like a pain in the ass. Oh, and the whole can't buy ammo without a license thing. I do like the Firearms Safety Course idea. I think ALL first time gun buyers should have to take a class like that. We have too many people down here buying guns that have absolutely no idea how to safely handle one.

Wonder if it was just your typical, garden variety crazie or....an ISIL sympathizer? Bedroom Radical?

I didn't think they had guns in Canada.

They do. Some douchbag kid killed two RCMP officers with an M-14 "battle rifle" not long ago...

Up until recently, the Canadian military actually made better versions of our Colt M-16 series, with full auto selective fire rather than the shit 3-round burst thing...

Some NHL hockey games in U.S. cities will be singing the Canadian National Anthem, "Oh, Canada!" tonight. It's sang at ALL Buffalo Sabres games BTW...
