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.

Ugh, I don’t like that they’re approaching 50% of the 135k they plan to buyback. A lot of god damn cowards in this country

The ban isnt going away liberals will soon have a majority and will ensure this country votes liberal for another 10 years. The people that declared are realists and dont want to wonder when the rcmp come knocking

The realist see the list of police forces not participating and see they have no way to enforce this, majority or not.

The rcmp can do it and we both know liberals have no problem spending money. They won't spend it on proper compensation but they will spend it to make sure they get more guns. They will hire more rcmp or pay a private company and have rcmp do security.

I'll use the money i get and buy more guns. I'll never give them all up

The RCMP leadership were literally talking about cutting sick days and mental health leave because of how few officers they have left patrolling.

They can’t just make a police force magically get more officers. All police are critically short right now.

You would literally have to remove officers from small towns full time to administer this program and collect the guns.

Its the liberal government.  You should know they would 100% do that . They don't give a shit about proper law enforcement. They would happily let a town go without law enforcement to do this illegal gun grab. 

Although funnily enough if they did pull rcmp out of a town for this im certain crime would drop since people could enforce it on their own and .... have more permanent solutions instead of catch and release.
