What is the Statute of limitations for assault in Ontario Canada?

There's no limitation. In Canada, summary offences (ie. petty crime) have to have charges laid within six months, but for everything else there is no limit... So don't tell anyone about your robbery thinking that it's too late for them to charge you!

Whats the minimum age for purchasing a handgun in the state of Georgia Specificaly Atlanta-metro area?

You may check out packing.org, gunlaws.com, or georgia.gov, however the US Attorney Edward Yarbrough said on July 17, 2009 that "licensed dealers are barred from selling a (hand)gun to someone younger than 21, but private sales to people older than 18 are legal" (Associated Press/Travis Loller). This news article was in regards to the arrest of a felon who had sold a handgun to a 20 year old woman who later committed a murder with it. It should be noted that this referred to federal firearms law and did not take in account the few states that restrict private sales or have a state law against handgun ownership by people under the age of 21. It is also worth noting that any person who has a felony conviction (unless rights have been restored) may not own (or touch) a firearm. A private seller in the vast majority of states may sell a handgun to a eighteen year old legally if the seller knows the buyer is at least 18 and has no reason to believe the buyer is a felon. Federal firearms law allows eighteen year olds to purchase long guns (shotguns and rifles) and ammunition for long guns from dealers. Federal firearms licensees may not sell handguns or handgun ammunition to anyone under 21.

Are Switchblade knives that come out from the top legal in Oklahoma City Oklahoma?

It depends on the length of the blade. The rule of thumb is if the length of the blade is longer than the width of the fingers of your hand stretched apart (generally five and a half to six inches) then the blade will be considered a "consealed weapon" and will be illegal without a license. Anything smaller than that- a "work knife"- should be fine. Contact the police department of the particular place in Oklahoma City you'll be located (Warr Acres, Bethany, The Village) for more information on what is and isn't considered a consealed weapon.

Not only legal, but generally required. The "end user" of an item is the one who pays the sales tax. If the same item is sold multiple times to multiple end users, each will pay sales tax. For example, if I buy things at a thrift store, I pay sales tax. Ditto for a used car.
