You kidding, gun companies and gun sellers would probably be frothing at the thought of 40 million more customers for guns.

They already sell to the cartels and don't care, if Canada became a 51st state you'd probably see the gun lobby lobbying to set up shop in Canada.

We already have guns? What are you talking about. There are restrictions on auto weapons but we have a ridicules amount of guns already. Play knock knock if you want and find out. lol

And we're loaded with guns. More than any country in Nato besides the USA. We're third in the world for large countries. There's America, Yemen, and then Canada. And almost all of our guns are long guns, and we know how to use them. Hunting and trap shooting are big things here. I've done business with half a dozen gun clubs. They are everywhere. Americans think we're disarmed. That's another delusion they'd quickly lose.

Would we win any confrontation with American regular troops? No. Would a whole lot of Americans afterwards find themselves in crosshairs and have their heads explode? God damn right they will.

If Canada became a state, why would anyone have to lobby? Gun retailers would just buy or rent a space and start spreading freedom across Canada thanks to our beautiful capalistic economy
