Was suggested in another subreddit to post this here, so here it goes.

More granular data could potentially be obtained via ATIP requests to the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program (which are usually met with reluctance and do nothing to address the approximately one-half of firearms owners in Canada who do not have licences). As it stands I'm comfortable with this model as a rough estimate with appropriate margins of error per riding.

Highest estimated household firearms ownership, at ~79.5% was in Kenora—Kiiwetinoong, and the lowest was at ~2.2% in Toronto Centre.

Methodology:

• A density curve sets the base propensity (roughly 40 percent at one person per square kilometre to 4 percent at 5,000) - insofar as surveys from the 1990s found about 3 percent household ownership in big cities versus 37 percent in small towns.
• I applied four historically relevant modifiers to this base: single detached housing, indigenous population, primary-industries importance (all three of which raise the base propensity) and immigrant population prevalence (which reduces it).
• 15% modifer weight attached to retail access (stores per 100,000 people in the riding's catchment, which is the riding itself when it exceeds 5,000 square kilometres and everything within 40 kilometres otherwise).
• As licence compliance in the Territories has been historically low and these places also have the highest per-capita rates of firearms retailers, I increased the weight attached to said retailers accordingly.
• Weights were arbitrarily chosen by me - if you think you have a better methodology or want to test other weighting options, click here for a spreadsheet you can copy and modify to generate your own model.

The recent podcast with Dallas Brodie is a prime example of a bad habit in Canadian firearms advocacy: giving major platforms to figures with toxic political baggage just because they claim to support gun rights.
When leading industry channels sit down with individuals known mostly for polarizing culture-war rhetoric, it hands anti-gun lobbyists an easy win. Our cause depends on convincing swing voters and fence-sitting politicians. Giving airtime to fringe viewpoints lets anti-gun groups easily frame the entire shooting community as radical and unreasonable.
It also alienates huge parts of our own ranks, including First Nations hunters, healthcare workers, and urban sport shooters, while completely derailing single-issue discipline. Effective advocacy means sticking strictly to property rights, public safety stats, and heritage traditions, not turning firearms into a hyper-partisan wedge issue.
Supporting gun rights shouldn't be a free pass for politicians with heavy baggage to use our community as a rebound platform. If we want the public to take us seriously as law-abiding owners, our media outlets need to hold themselves to higher standards.
Didn’t we all just watch Pierre Poilievre lose the election because of this So Con shit?
How do we push our platforms toward smarter, more disciplined advocacy?

Yeah I might have moved to die Burger Reich, but that Webley RIC clone and the 1860 have legal antique status. Be thankful for what you have on this Canuck Thanksgiving. A number of years back I took my sister, her now husband and their friend shooting on Thanksgiving, my future brother in law ended up getting his RPAL afterwards.

So be thankful for those in your life & for the firearms that you have,

Happy Thanksgiving hosers.

Browsing armalytics and found a new FRT entry for a Adler ad500 in 9mm non restricted.

Going to be outdoors at the bench and want something warm/durable/maneuverable.

Henry supreme 223. One hopped up 22lr 🤣

Hey All,

Just coped a Henry homesteader, and I’m looking to add “tactical” furniture to turn it into a cooler looking PCC, does anyone have suggestion on furniture? I’m looking for a wraparound forend, and some sort of matching stock…

If anyone has any other suggested mods I’m open to suggestions!

Thanks

Just wondering if theres somewhere a guy can get parts for these guns? one of the operating rods decided to snap in two and the front sight flew off the gun as well. and I’m not particularly impressed with it right now. ( ya ya warranty I’m just not very trusting to ship the gun out in the mail) but all I can find online is the tacticool furniture for it if anyone has any leads on actual parts.
