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.

"eligibility" and actually being compensated are two different things. The funds are not even there to compensate everyone. Its a scam program from the start. Only the fools are declaring and hoping they get paid.

in that case it seems like they are relying on people declaring their NR's so its basically registered like a restricted, but won't have the means to carry out further enforcement.

I actually had an interesting conversation with a conservation officer out in the woods the other day. By the sound of it, he essentially said they would be looking the other way if the stumbled across someone using a prohib on crown land, safely.  Granted this is not legal advice and this was just my interaction with 1 CO but that was essentially what was implied with the few words he could say on the subject. I do not encourage anyone to try this though.
