America has a criminal class that is largely absent, although growing in Canada.

I’ve been concerned about it being seized, but tracking shows it being received by Canada Post, and ‘in transit’ to my location, so I guess I’m okay. It’s about $240cdn, so I’m wondering if I’ll have to pay duty & taxes.

I just can’t believe what is happening in this country. The switchblade law is nothing more than a kneejerk reaction to inner city gangs in the ’50s. There’s no reason for us to have laws like this today. Canada doesn’t need a prohibition on switchblades. There’s no good reason why we can’t have them.

I might actually get together with my American X‐girlfriend and then propose to her so I can live in America just so I can safely and happily continue my long lived passion as a knife collector/enthusiast!!!

The only time I use a knife is as a tool for work or food preparation. That’s it, then after some use I love to sharpen them myself + being that friend who properly sharpens his family and friends knives with wet stones then strop. So really more then one of my passions are being destroyed with our pathetic laws that do nothing to actually protect anyone, they just piss people off and makes our country weak and vulnerable. I bet a pack of trained monkey’s could take our country over let alone an actual attack from another stronger well organized group of whatever…

I HATE NOT HAVING MY RIGHTS IN A SO CALLED FREE COUNRTY!!! The Canadian police-government have way to much power (becoming power hungry)our laws and the people who create them are actually pathetic AF ….
It’s wrong that they want the people of Canada to have absolutely no way of defending themselves and/or save their life or someone else’s life for some reason if it came to that. What are the police, fire fighter, military or army soldier going to be there to save us all everytime no matter what 100% guaranteed safety from burning cars, exploration or hunting incident, random attack or kidnapping from who or whatever etc… etc… …. Ahhhh I seriously doubt that is even possible and I will trust my knife with a *quick simple one-handed ASSISTED OPENING to save my life, family’s or anyone else’s life!!!

CANADA I’M OUT!!! AMERICA THE TRUE LAND OF THE FREE HERE I COME!!!

You might look into the sparcity of habitation as a factor. The tighter you jam animals together, the more violence occurs. With or without weapons. Piss me off enough and squeeze me in and my bare hands will be quite enough.

in canada we have no rights you should know this by now. we live in a police state where they can deem anything illegal at any time and arrest you for not wearing a mask or entering a restaurant without getting the jab. we have absolutely 0 rights because all our so called rights can be violated

Even if we had to register them it would at least be something positive. It doesn’t make sense to me as a collector that I can buy Katanas but not assisted knives. I have carried a pocket knife since I was eight years old, I am now sixty three and have yet to injure anyone with my knife.

Most criminals aren’t too bright. Regulation of weapons work, as evidenced by the relatively low Canadian murder rates, compared to our southern warzone.
