CCFR | Tariffs on Guns & Ammo? This Could Get Ugly…

Length: 5 Minutes

A looming trade war between Canada and the United States could have major consequences for Canadian gun owners, retailers, and the firearms industry. With the U.S. imposing a 25% tariff on most imports from Canada (except oil and gas at 10%), the Liberal government is responding with retaliatory tariffs—including a 25% levy on firearms and ammunition.

While the situation remains fluid, gun owners could soon face rising costs on imported firearms and ammo, particularly from the U.S. If these tariffs take effect, they could further strain an industry already hit hard by government regulations. Experts like Adriel Michaud have analyzed the impact, showing how everything from German and Turkish firearms to American-made ammunition could see price hikes.

For those concerned about supply shortages, now might be the time to stock up. History has shown that when panic buying begins, prices soar, and availability becomes uncertain. While it’s unclear whether these tariffs will stick or be modified in the coming weeks, it’s always best to stay ahead of the curve.

TFB Behind the Gun #152: American Guntrepeneurship w/ Ares Combat Systems

Length: 41 Minutes

Working in this industry full–time and hosting this podcast I get to talk to a lot of interesting characters, but I don’t often get to meet them in person very often. SHOT Show is one of the few times during the year that I finally get to meet people in person that I’ve only ever known online. This year, I caught up with Emmanuel—owner and operator of Ares Combat Systems as well as American Steppe Gear—who helped put one of the coolest 5.56 AKs I’ve ever tested into my hands and is one of the only companies in the US to produce hunting gear specifically designed for school-aged children. A U.S. Army veteran, Emmanuel has worked on everything from soft goods to firearms and is now shifting his sights to the night vision world with his new Helios solar-charging battery pack. We discussed his transition from military service to gun industry entrepreneur, along with the origins and development of Helios—designed to be a powerful, portable solution for on-the-go charging for night vision and thermal devices.
