… subject to subsection (2), the name, date of birth, current address and telephone number of every spouse, common-law partner and other person with whom the applicant is in a conjugal relationship at the time of making the application or with whom the applicant has been in a conjugal relationship within the two years before the application is made.
As I watch the breathless YouTube videos about how the Western Provinces are going to secede from Canada and join the U.S., and then compare it with the ever-so-soft and gentle nudging they give their federal government, I can’t help but conclude that someone is dead wrong.
Here’s what I think. I think the government could take everything they have including their wives and daughters and Canadians would complain a bit but do nothing.
Change my mind.
Spot. On.
Heywood beat me to it.
It’s easy to point to Canada and laugh, but New York State requires the same disclosures on its 30-page pistol permit application. They want to know how many children are in your house and who your spouse/gf is, and your ex-gfs for the past 10 years. They also make you sign a HIPAA waiver to release your entire lifetime physical and mental health records, how much you drink, and if you have ever been fired from a job.
They want to know what other firearms you have and where they are stored, and if you have any bows and arrows.
And more.
I shit you not. Read it for yourself if you doubt me:
