Can either of the above be purchased in Canada (?) or are we not adult enough to be trusted with such things here even with the proper background checks and licensing and training and vetting, and so on and so forth??
Both are black, and that’s the ‘bad’ colour for guns in Canada I’ve heard.

Maybe. The Jr depending on barrel length and a 5 shot clip. I had a .22 M16 clone I bought at Canadian Tire 30 years ago but its still legal.
I was wondering if you could take a paper target with it in Canada because they’re black, the first one looks like it has a detachable stock, which I think is bad up here… or it might be considered a pistol, which is bad up here now again.
Then to Pete, I’ve seen the clone years ago, not only in Canadian tire, but back in the day in Bi-Right Drugs (not kidding), but that was then and this is now & would that be legal to purchase one now?
Given the armor-piercing qualities of the cartridge, they might not let y'all have it.
It's different down here. Weuns got us the raht t'use guns t'perteck ahr raht t'use guns!

Nice. Smaller calibers are good fun, I like the pistol calibers (9MM) in SBR and rifle platforms. Unfortunately we're only allowed 10 in the mag.
We actually ARE allowed pistol braces up here on SBR's believe it or not, No ATF ban here, although I'm sure Trudeau is kicking himself for not coming up with the idea.
Same here, on the mags. State law in Maryland. Which means I have to endure an arduous 15-minute drive to Virginia to buy my high-capacity mags.
I'm not terribly fond of the AR gas return system. I prefer the Beretta A90 piston system, which is what I have in my 5.56x45. Less fouling.
I've read in the news they're cracking down on "braces" on "pistols." I don't disapprove. I'd make concealable weapons damn-near-impossible to own, if I had my druthers.
I’ve been told by some aboriginal people (guides at a fly in fishing camp I used to go to every couple of years) who claimed to have done it that you can take a moose with a .22. Patience and careful stalking, gotta get pretty close and be partly behind the critter, then shoot up into the brain at the point of the jaw just below the ear. Maybe they were just bullshitting the white city guy, they did a lot of that and it was usually obvious, and entertaining, they were clever guys, but that sounded plausible at least.

Right behind or in front of a front leg is the highest chance of a heart and lung shot.
I haven't hunted moose, but I wouldn't with anything lighter than .30-30 or .308, and preferably .45-70. But there are people who do all sorts of crazy shit, like hunting with pistols.
The obvious intended game for my fun gun is long pig.
