What is considered to be a firearm for purposes of the Firearms Act and for offences related to the Firearms Act in the Criminal Code? personal experience: i do small game hunting so i was looking at the high powered pellet guns but i cant buy one because i dont have a licence.
If you really want to know, you're going to have to read some papers and at least one book.

Here is a link to the book:

Arming and Disarming: A History of Gun Control in Canada
by R. Blake Brown
The Osgoode Society, Toronto, 2012 370 pp.

It costs $70., and it's worth the money. You don't necessarily have to buy it; you can also request it from a lending library and they'll get it for you.
