Canada's federal licensing system is a big reason for this disparity. Buying a gun in Canada is like getting a driver's license. You have to apply for a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) -- a process that involves a variety of background checks with a minimum 28-day waiting period for new applicants who do not have a valid firearms license. You have to take a safety training course. You have to provide personal references who can vouch for your character. You have to renew the license every five years or else you can be charged with unauthorized possession under the Firearms Act and Criminal Code.

Yeah, right.
Imagine waiting 28 days to own and operate an automobile? Or get character references to drive?
No Jooyoung Lee I do NOT want to emulate Canadian firearms laws and you keep your whinny butt up there.

Years ago, I had. New York State and a NYC carry permit. I can't remember which one, but I had to submit several references. I also could only purchase and carry the handgun which was specified by make and serial number of the weapon. Any additional handguns I wanted to own, I had to be approved by the specific make and serial number before approval. The NYC permit took six months.

RIGHTS do not need a permission slip.

Government in a FREE country means a government that provides basic services for our convenience; government is not "mommy & daddy".

And in Canada, no handgun with a barrel under 4” is permitted. And you must belong to a gun range, and when you drive to that gun range to test the weapon, you must go DIRECTLY to, & from the range with no stops for gas, Micky Dee’s, or anything. Should you get pulled over on the trip, & you tell them you are coming from the range, they will call to verify you were just there. Oh, & due to Covid, there’s a curfew at 8pm. At least where my parents live. GARY

The Kommunists Politburo wants to transform the country into their model as quick as possible using a uniform set of Federal laws to rob those few remaining "pesky" states rights that refuse to yeild. No more whittling away gun rights slowly as they have been doing for decades. They are not going to go with the Canada model. They are going to go with the next generation of the Australian model, ie. the old Kommunists model. Turn'em all in boys.

Only exception will be for card carrying members bodyguards.

They are not concerned about loosing any elections anymore. They will just cheat successfully from now on using their proven methods.

Back in Rochester when I got my permit it took over a year to get it processed. Closer to 16 months IIRC, it was a long time ago.

It was a PITA. And every time you wanted to buy a new handgun, you had to pay for it, take the receipt to the County Clerk, get it added to your Permit, and only then could you pick up the gun.

Yup-had to pay for it and it sat in the gun shop until you got the okay.

Our government here in the U.S. exists to protect our natural rights, not to restrict them. It’s our own fault for letting the politicians run rampant over the Constitution.

Miamioffshore and DammitGrif got it right.

Especially with their new Quarentine rules. they can have that country.

If someone wants Canada, there's a simple way to achieve it. NYS Thruway, go north as far as you can go, and voila. No insult to Canada or Canadians, beautiful place, nice people. Just don't tell me how to live in Florida.
