The NFA is Leading the Way to Fight for Gun Rights in Canuck Country

Canada and the USA have a lot in common- for instance, gun culture: We both feed ourselves with game harvested with firearms, we compete with firearms, collect them, and we protect ourselves with them. But the politics surrounding firearms in these two countries differ greatly. Our attitude and ability to speak up about gun politics differs. In Canada, the government of the day has recently been focused on "gun control." Canadians are world-renowned for being agreeable, easy-going folks. But this is changing with respect to firearms. The new generation of Canadian gun owners has a voice, and they're being heard loud and clear.

If the trucker convoy tells you anything, it's clear that the Great White North has pretty much had it with government overreach. Think gun ownership in the U.S. is getting tougher? Imagine how bad the Canucks have had it. However, things are starting to change. Canada's National Firearms Association and its new president, Blair Hagen, have been a major proponent of Canadians' desire to bear arms and rid the country of legislation that has no place in a free society. RECOIL recently interviewed Hagen to get his take on NFA, current gun-related issues, and gun culture in Canada. Hagen has a 25-year span of experience with the organization and is focused on what Canadians can do to protect their rights.
