Editing Thompson submachine gun (section)

===Canada===
All variants and modified versions of Thompson submachine guns (even semiautomatic-only versions) are prohibited by name in Canada, as part of Prohibited Weapons Order No. 13 in 1995. Consequently, they cannot be legally imported or owned except under very limited circumstances. For example, to own one the person must be "[[Grandfather clause|grandfathered]]" (have owned one before the bill was passed against it), and have a valid prohibited-class [[Possession and Acquisition Licence|firearms licence]]. Additionally, it would need to be already registered with the [[Canadian Firearms Registry]]. The submachine gun itself is not grandfathered like in the U.S., only the owner with the valid prohibited-class firearms licence is. The submachine gun can only be sold to other grandfathered individuals with a prohibited-class (12.2) [[Possession and Acquisition Licence|licence]], or to a business, museum or organization with a firearms business licence for prohibited-class firearms.<ref>[https://rcmp.ca/en/firearms/licensing/businesses Businesses] RCMP, Canadian Firearms Program</ref> This keeps prices extremely low as the number of permitted licensed individuals is very small and dwindling with time. Eventually, all prohibited-class firearms will be out of circulation with the grandfathered individual licence holders. However, they will still be able to be owned by licensed businesses and museums.<ref>[http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-462/page-2.html#h-4 List of Restricted and Prohibited Firearms], Canadian Firearms Centre (CFC)</ref>{{rp|Part 1.86}}<ref>[http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/factsheets/prohibited_e.asp Prohibited Firearms] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070820143113/http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/factsheets/prohibited_e.asp |date=2007-08-20 }}, Canadian Firearms Centre (CFC)</ref>
