Don't really see their point and they're probably a little misleading, I know the "facts" of the Canadian requirements are made to sound different then what they really are.
Yes we do need to get a licence, yes there is a background check, no we are not certified by a Firearms Officer. The CFO (Certified Firearms Officer) are the ones that issue the Licence from the CFO's Office. They make it sound like some guy comes out and shoots with us and that's not the case, The CFO also issues ATT's (authorization to transport) which allows us to take restricted firearms to ranges and to other travel destinations, and they also approve ranges. Carry permits can be issued but very few are and usually they are strictly for the protection of property ie jewelry guys that carry large sums of money and such.
I notice they talk about gun control measures and sometimes when it suits the bent of there story they couple that with violent crime rate, yet they don't when it doesn't fit their agenda.
