In the end, I was just bust yer balls, not being serious...

You can only purchase an AR15 if you have a PAL-R the thorough back ground check is already done.
Wait times serve only as a deterent to purchase.. Each provincial CFO can pretty much set the conditions ( within the regulations ) as to how they will enforce the rules.
Some I suspect are under the thumb of provincial legislators and police influence ( it's all tied together..informally) and take the position that in their region administrative delays and hoop jumping will add an additional deterent to legal gun ownership.
Back on topic... is it looking like the "clear receiver" gambit is going to fail?
I can see why .... everyone and his brother is jumping into the retail of these things... I suspect the serious uptick in importation has some flags raised.
I'm not surprised ....
