      Hey, Canada is on top and Alaska is on the bottom, it’s even in the picture.

      But what people don’t get is that the scale of the map means that bridge would have to be half as tall as New Mexico, which is like at least 5 miles, and also there’s no way the bridge would support the weight of the entire United States. C’mon people.

        Maybe the scale of the bridge is off, just like the size of Alaska is. I think someone from Texas drew this map to make themselves feel better.

      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.
