...Canada seems to think it needs another one. From the NRA's Facebook page:
Replica guns should be licensed and registered just like the real thing, say safety advocates.The Canada Safety Council has approached police to push for gun replicas to be regulated under the federal Firearms Act, said council president Emile Therien. That would require them to be licensed and registered.
The mind boggles. For what possible reason would a replica gun need to be licensed and registered?
(I mean, other than for the reason of autocratic government overreach, that is.)

Because it looks just as scary as the real thing.
Not that I find that to be a valid reason. But it fits with the reasoning behind the 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban" practice of banning guns because they look scary.

Well, I get the "scary" part...but since they can't shoot actual bullets, this seems like a serious overreaction by the Canadian safety Nazis.
