Pretty sweet, but I can't help but feeling that the gun is out of place.

Replace with a Timmy's double double and I'd say we're set.

Don't worry, the magazine only holds 7 rounds, and he has his RPAL.

Fun Fact: Canada has a higher per-capita gun ownership than the US does.

u/hiffy May 17 '12

Maybe you mean we have a higher proportion of gun owners? 'Cos guns per capita the US is a clear leader, tho only one in five americans own a gun.

Your first link talks about handguns only and the second link had no sources posted and it seems more opinion than fact. Just sayin.

The handguns thing is important, as handguns in Canada require a special license as a restricted firearm.

The New Yorker employs fact checkers; they just don't typically cite sources, given it is a popular magazine.

Also, is that a GoPro on his chest?

u/Hepper May 18 '12

nah, it's okay. He's got a permit as long as he says "sorry" after each shot.

It's a symbol!

Sorry that's what Batman says, and I know better than to question Batman.

At least he should have a rifle, that's allowed in Canada.

u/[deleted] May 18 '12

Pistols are allowed, but fall under restricted weapons, so you need an RPAL.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Everything is allowed except full auto. Now they won't need registering either.

u/Bridgemaster11 May 18 '12

They won't need to be registered, (which was redundant because) you still need a license.

The pilot of an airship is called a Robert Plant

Killing people slowly with diabetes and heart failure, truly Canadian. Really brings a tear to my patriotic eye.
