News / Politics / Activism Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

Tumbler Ridge got memory holed in record time. Worst school shooting in our history and the gov has been tight lipped. Wonder why? Are they scared to admit that no amount of arbitrary firearms prohibitions can prevent a sick and delusional wierdo from killing people en masse?

I was thinking the same thing, Nova Scotia was in the news cycle for months. This one is gone very quickly. I imagine it damages the narrative and therefore cannot be in the news cycle since it doesn’t tow the party line.
