The treaty does not apply to free Americans only to employees of the Corporation known as the United States.

For the record, our regular forces are some of the best trained in the world. They compare to most countries elite or special forces. Ask any ex military or current military personnel what they think of Canada's forces.

In addition, there is zero...ZERO chance the USA will ever attack Canada as there is ZERO chance Russia will. So you will be stomping no one, not even the guy who will come for your guns. Like I said, I wish it were different, but you will turn over your guns.

Uh, right. And either what kind of excessive permits and fees did you have to go through to get those guns, or what silly American believed you were just moving from British Columbia and needed to use your Canadian ID to make the sale? (Alot of Canadians will say they are moving and haven't gotten their new American State License yet, so could they just use their Canadian one!? They do this to buy guns from Americans and take them back to Canada.)
And for the record, try it now, we would stomp you.

I took a one day course on firearm safety +/- 300$
I filed for the license for restricted and non restricted firearms. 75$
I bought a Beretta .40 Cal - too much $$

You like to bring up the Waco incident, but the fact is that they were being investigated by the ATF because they did not have the proper permits to have the weapons they were stockpiling. They had weapons and explosives that needed a tax stamp or class 3 license to be legal, but had no tax stamp.
The Waco incident was not supported by common Americans because they were religious extremists and were not following the law regarding their weapons. How much do you know about the Ruby Ridge incident?

If a gun ban comes into force in the US, YOU will give up your guns or you will be a criminal. You may not give them up at first, but given time you will. The constitution would be changed, so owning banned firearms would be a criminal offence.

I agree that Canadian military forces are some of the best in the world. The problem is that your entire military won't even fill up a US Football stadium. And your Navy is like - 10 ships?
How about if YOU come on down here and try to take my guns - - -

Ok, Good job on the spelling this time. But really, who is spouting propaganda now? "They didn't have the tax stamp".... and you know this because...CNN told you. "They were religious extremists"....because I saw it on TV.
The reality is we have no way to know if their burnt up guns had a stamp, or if they really had the right to own them. What we do know is that there were people... men, women and children who were in a compound that had guns stockpiled. These people were burnt out and shot and as I understand it they didn't fire the first shot. That shot came from the ATF.
It's likely they were religious zealots. Sure, lots of third party evidence to support that. They did have guns, also lots of evidence suggesting that. How did they buy these guns? Not enough information to decide. Perhaps legally, perhaps not. But they did take a stand when the feds came to the door, just as you are saying you will.
I don't cite Ruby Ridge for the same reason I don't cite the Titanic, or the moon project or NASA. It doesn't support my position. A psycho writing letters about killing the pope has little to do with the confiscation of legally owned firearms that most Americans will willingly turn over when the time comes.
