In case you may have mistakenly thought the G&M was friendly, read this

The Liberals beat a hasty, but necessary, retreat on gun control

Striaght up propaganda. It says written by the editorial board but this came straight out of the LPC or Poly. You can tell because they literally have no fucking clue how firearms work

The Liberals now say they will bring back the amendments, presumably in separate legislation. And that’s good; Ottawa can and should crack down on the proliferation of high-powered semi-automatic rifles for sale in Canada that have no place in a legitimate hunter’s arsenal.

There is a need for a sensible discussion about how some semi-automatic hunting rifles are capable of firing ammunition that is far more powerful than any hunter would want, and which can turn a legitimate civilian firearm into a tool of mass murder and destruction.

I though people on this sub already know that G&M is an anti-gun media as same as Toronto Star, G&M's editorial board supported a ban on the sale of handguns

G&M is basically anti-gun fudd fiscal conservative and they're not your friend.
