Eric,

Canada is not much diff than US. They can't own full-auto or ANY pistol with less than 4" barrel, but other than that, it's much like US with lots of gun ownership. It's really a strange law because a lot of pistols even revolvers have 4" barrels, and in Germany after WWI, no one could own a pistol with a barrel longer than 4". So you can only collect long barrel Lugers (5" Commercial, Navy, Artillery), but they are fully operational.

They have firearm licensing but just about anyone can get a license and carry permit.
They have rifle/shotgun registration but has been a failure - it is not really enforced and I believe they are doing away with it. Anyone can buy semi-auto rifle - SKS are only $200-$250 there and they sell them everywhere.

I live 2 hours from Canada (British Columbia), it's a beautiful area up there,
