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.

I think the conservatives gotta do some of that smart voting shit the left likes to do and just vote for the BQ in that by election to try and get them to win. 

Not that it matters though they will just buy off another con but still....  Maybe if liberals get another majority they will fix the country from the evil choices the conservatives and Harper did!??

The general view on this subject in Quebec is that they don't like semi-auto firearms. They don't see it as something reasonable to own. On the other hand, they fully realise that the gun bans and buyback are political theater to have a wedge issue, that the safety risk by legal owners is minimal and that the buyback is a massive waste of money. I think for most people, if it were up to them, would keep the bans in place to limit the prevalence of these firearms in society, but allow grandfathering for current owners.
