I am not paranoid but informed and educated. You may want to do a little more research into what is planned for you and your future. I can't post my links or defend my position here because it is considered Political, and it is and so is the underlying message of the OP that you all want to deny or you are just not following what is and has been going on.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving!

Huh??
Are you Canadian ? Or just “read” about us.
I’m a member at our local golf/gun club. I just bought a handgun and a long rifle ….no issues as long as you have proper registration .
I think your talking about AK style guns, in which case no one needs those things.
We have always had restrictions here but there are plenty of available and legal firearms should you feel the need. These “restrictions”… or so they are called , keep our kids from being killed at school, armed robbery at a far less per capita rate and very dam few handgun murders as well. Explain to me how this is bad
Further, what on gods green earth does that have to do with my expensive to operate Class A amplifier.
Is it a full moon?

I am NOT getting into a gun debate in any way. I am going to point to - in the interest of actual facts - especially when blaming the moon - an article in USA Today dated Oct 21 of 2022 for clarity that states:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjky924n8X7AhWAnWoFHZj-BTUQFnoECBAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Fworld%2F2022%2F10%2F21%2Fcanada-handgun-ban-sales-gun-control%2F10564197002%2F&usg=AOvVaw0vwkDy-Gy2d30I8h0E0ere
Canada bans all handgun sales in latest gun-control move
Canada's new nationwide ban on handgun sales, purchases and transfers goes into effect Friday in the government's latest move to reduce gun violence across the country.
Beginning Friday, people cannot buy, sell, or transfer handguns within Canada, nor can they bring newly acquired handguns into the country, according to the announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Haha “I’m not going to get in a gun debate ,but”
Evidently I squeaked my last purchases under the wire…. But so what? I only ever shoot at a range , ever. If they tell me that for the betterment of my country new laws need to come into play… so be it
I’d still love to know the correlation of weapons vs my amplifier.
Makes exactly zero sense and has the rancid stench of typical conspiracy thinking.

Pointing you out for spreading disinformation while insulting someone isn't getting into a gun debate.
So you admit you spoke about something you knew nothing about while pretending it was a conspiracy theory as that prevents you from having to use actual facts while attacking someone else - who was right (and you were wrong) and doesn't even live in your country.
I believe you even insinuated your were right and he was wrong as he wasn't Canadian so somehow that means he can't read about your laws (the ones you don't know about)?
Just be an adult and own your foolish post - Lord knows we all have them ourselves - and move on. Doubling down on a factually false post is just silly. We can all accept a mistake.
I think you owe an apology to Shadowfax (and the moon) since he was factually correct and you attacked him for it.

You will never get direct answers. But the conspiracy nonsense and paranoia. The entire world is always colluding and scheming to get them.

Sorry, that apology is coming roughly the same time gas prices are cheap again
My bigger point , should I have to spell it out is the ridiculous correlation between laws for weapons , regardless of where you are, to amplifiers.
Just speaking extemporaneously here it seems to be absolutely non-sense to imagine that the amplifier Nazis are coming . Please.
Complete paranoia driven by weak nonsensical arguments that have nothing to do with the OP
Rather than policing me, perhaps show us factually how an off topic conspiracy rabbit hole has anything to do with my government, your government or anyones government , comes to that, is going to ban devices that represent an absolute microcosm of usage.
I guess next up will be my hot tub , or my central air units…. Maybe my pool?
I can see it now, the Canadian legislature meets on a special circumstance parliament and all three of our parties…. After days of debate and consternation finally agree that the bad audiophiles need to be regulated . “Take away their Class A amps” they will say. Thousands of people will assemble outside of parliament protesting. The truckers will drive their rigs back into Ottawa in protest and the world will await the overthrow of Justin Trudeau for ostracizing audiophiles …. It’s pure pandemonium
Good god

Got it. You can't admit you came out bombastically sarcastic towards him (spreading lies and disinformation) and you were then shown to be completely wrong and unable to admit it.
Kinda funny a non-Canadian knew more about your laws than a Canadian, huh? Didn't you say that wasn't possible to happen? But.....it did happen.
You can pout and stomp your feet all you want about conspiracy theories to try and cover for getting the ultimate fact-check-smackdown, but in this case it turned out to be true in his example (regardless of if you like his analogy or or not). That's gotta hurt.
Oh, funny no one ever thought the dish washing nazi's were coming but they did. Or the lawn mower nazi's and they did (but you live in Canada so how do you know what's gone on in the USA?). So it's ok to not think it will happen, but pretending like things like this have not happened is like being an Ostrich. So don't dismiss the OP as being silly when Luxman admitted to it being a concern for them. But I guess you know best.

Again … so what?
I really don’t care if I was wrong regarding a utterly nonsense off topic correlation.
Apparently reading comprehension isn’t your bright spot here as I have said several times now that his rabbit hole conspiracy is ridiculous as it relates to the topic at hand.
Move on mate…unless your offering some empirical evidence that any government is going to regulate my amplifier specifically than your acting as silly.
That you don’t find the correlation between regulating weapons and regulating my amplifiers as gobsmackingly paranoid is actually pretty disturbing. Best you put your tin foil hat back on and pick a battle elsewhere.

I guess we can't expect Canadians to know about US law when they don't even know about Canadian laws.
Thanks for the laugh tonight, mate! Your posts were every entertaining - especially with the epic disinformation smack down on Canadian law.

Drama....Hhm?
" So don't dismiss the OP as being silly when Luxman admitted to it being a concern for them."
Not a single time in all four pages of this exciting thread have you substantiated your claim. Your claiming that so and so was told this does not substantiate your claim. With some notable exceptions, we have four pages of <mostly> garbage in this thread.

LOL. I hope you and your family have a loving, friendly, and enjoyable Thanksgiving tomorrow. Still not sure why you're on a forum when you admitted you don't like people sharing opinions. This must be very traumatic that you keep purposely reading a thread you don't like. Oh wait....

“Smack down”
Hahaha….. ok
I guess since we are in the presence of such an intellectual Titan such as yourself I should just acquiesce. On the other hand since exactly no facts regarding the regulation of my amplifiers, your amplifiers or any amplifiers have been offered as yet from yourself I will continue , with alacrity, to refute.
As a side , when you talk about regulations on dishwashers and lawnmowers I think you might have your sense of scale askew. Just curious, how many dishwashers are being sold or currently used daily in North America ? I have no idea but I can say with complete confidence that the number of inefficient entertainment electronic devices is a mere celestial speck in comparison…. Same with your lawn mower there.
Please be better

Hope this helps. Don't let it confuse with Canada laws. Kinda funny about the 40 batteries needed when their grid keeps crashing as it can't handle demand.
