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.

It'd be nice if we could have them since it's just PPE and in more civilized parts of the world, it's considered good manners to put one on at the range / when you hunt.

I like to take my dog out with me when I go shooting so that she's not left at home all day, but I always feel really bad having to tie her up 25yd away just to make sure she doesn't go deaf. Even then, I still worry about her hearing. Obviously I cannot make my dog wear hearing protection. I tried, she refused to wear ear muffs.

Thanks, she hates having anything on her head but that might be worth a try actually

You'll definitely need to train her, but it's better than anything else I've found.
