    A person with a history of domestic abuse, assault, and armed robbery can still get one legally.

    Not my situation, to be clear, lol. Stories like this were a big part of a reason I’ve been wary of a PAL, although I obviously need to reassess that.

    In any case I’m a giant history and technology nerd, and muskets are neat.

    In several European countries (such as France) firearms DESIGNED prior to 1880 require no permit to buy or own. This means that cowboy movie lovers who own newly made colt SAA revolvers only need to register their guns but no permit needed to buy or own.

    TIL! I’ll have to keep that in mind, since I have family that’s moved over there.

    If we had a proportional system maybe there would be some kind of libertarian party I could consider. As it is, I’m in a safe riding anyway.
