    Yes.

    But unrelated to this. Which is silly; just do a ferry, dumkopf.

      I have to mail my glovebox gun to myself when I drive through Canada because they hate freedom.

      In Canada's defense, that is in significant part, handguns. If you keep a long gun with you, as long as it doesn't hit their 10,000 J (7375 ft-lbs) muzzle energy limit --- and if it's in your glovebox, I assume that whatever you have isn't doing that --- and doesn't hit their specific restrictions on upper receivers, you're probably okay.

      A NATO 5.56 mm rifle round looks like it has a muzzle energy of about 1.8 kJ.

      That'd let you carry an elephant gun.

      If you want a semi-auto rifle...goes looking

      Looks like they exist in 500 Auto Max.

      https://gunsamerica.com/digest/big-horn-armory-ar500/

      I imagine that one of those would be okay. Looks like the ammunition is sold in Canada.

      EDIT: If you want something that you can shoot one-handed, maybe a short bullpup rifle with a barrel of at least 470mm (~18.5 in), which is apparently their "handgun"/"not-handgun" divider.

        We wouldn't have that problem if they would just voluntarily surrender their sovereignty and become the 51st state smh

                  I wonder what it would cost, assuming it was possible, to build a bridge to Hawaii.

                  About 2-4 trillion and it would technically be almost impossible to build.

                        That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It's likely not feasible, sadly.

                          Now that you mention it, the projection is unusual. Is this the map they use in Texas to make it look bigger?
