Blair Hagen has spent 30 years fighting Canada's firearms laws, and now, days after the National Firearms Association lost its president Rick Igercich, he is the one holding it together. In this episode of the Silvercore Podcast, Travis Bader sits down with Hagen, executive vice president and now acting president of the NFA, for a clear-eyed look at where Canada's gun fight actually stands in 2026: the assault-style firearm confiscation, the Order in Council (OIC) bans, the handgun freeze, and the amnesty that keeps getting extended because almost no one is complying. Hagen survived two armed robberies behind the counter of a Vancouver gun store, then was refused a permit to protect himself. He explains why firearms in Canada get banned for how they look rather than what they do, why a serious gun charge is the first thing a prosecutor drops, why the numbers behind the confiscation do not add up, and the one thing every gun owner can actually do that works. What we get into: Why "assault-style firearm" is a political marketing term, not a legal one The "comply or become a criminal" trap inside the current buyback Estates, the handgun freeze, and how a widow loses a collection's value The NFA Save Firearms program and storing prohibited firearms legally Whether you can still buy and transfer a handgun in Canada, and where an Authorization to Carry fits in Whether you have owned firearms your whole life or have never touched one, this is a conversation about property, rights, and who decides what is yours.
