Section 96 of the Criminal Code (Possession of weapon obtained by commission of offence).

Guess what? Importing replica firearms for the purpose of sale to the general public is an offence as a result of the restriction on the transfer of prohibited devices set out in section 24(1) and the regulation making sections of the Firearms Act.

As I've said before, I'm not particularly hot about the use of the term "Canadian legal", but I'm even less enthused by the people who attack the term based on some minimal understanding of Canadian law.

And no, just because no one has been charged before doesn't mean the law doesn't exist or won't be applied at some point down the road.
