Aye, he sailed the streets in a car that looked more official than a captain’s hat, wielding an AR-style rifle as if it were a cutlass in a rum-fueled duel!

In their wisdom, the Canadian government launched a buyback program, offering doubloons to those who'd part with their newly outlawed weapons.
