according to what little research i have done, you need a firearms lisence to import any airsoft gun... and so my question is, is it worth the trouble to buy a firearms lisence [only 60 or 80 dollars every 5 years], ship to an address in the states and drive down to bring it over the border? or will declaring an gun have too many hidden charges and BS to make it worth my while?

edit: i am 23 years old, but am not (yet) age-verified
Im not age verified, and I understand that takes time to do, what you can do is go to some of the websites like 007airsoft, and buyairsoft.ca (there are a few more) they have new guns for sale and depending on the model you really dont have to pay a 1000, though, with that being said, they are pricey compared to those in the states and elsewhere.

those websites or age verification are pretty well your options.
