An old friend once ran a tour biz to northern Quebec where he would take Americans hunting for caribou. Somehow, one of the “sportsmen” snuck an Uzi across the border on his private plane. Unbeknownst to my buddy, he packed it along on an expedition across the tundra. The part split up into groups and not long after a “rat-ta-ta-ta-tat” sound was heard. The American had succeeded in cutting the head clean off a male caribou.
Subsequently, the RCMP got involved and the guy was sent packing.
What fun!

I can’t for the life of me imagine what anyone would do with an AK-47. You can’t use it for hunting. I don’t think there’s a target range you can practice on for sport is there? What else do people do with guns like this that doesn’t involve slaughtering small countries?

Yes Bandobras – you are absolutely correct! I have no idea why I did not realise this. I blame my poor research skills.

This smacks of typical hippy dippy, left wing, pinko thinking.
You decry the awarding of an AK 47, never stopping to think that they are one of the safest things out there.
Go ahead and check and you’ll see they have virtually never been involved in any violence or death here in Canada.
Therefore it seems clear that we should encourage their importation and sale here.
