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.

And the funniest part is now that they're feeling more secured, here comes the litany of surveillance and security bills. C2 is back on the table.

Of course because it's their team they don't care.

Credit where it's due. The Liberals have managed to convince the masses that an opposition is a bad thing and that they should run unchecked. Kinda wild tbh.

I can’t even comprehend how it can possibly get worse but this country surprises me every day. The only thing we excel at.

With those laws on the books, eventually someone smart and evil will manage to make full use of them

Honestly im torn between 2 futures i suspect we will go, the anarcho-tyranny route where criminals can go about their business but you a law abiding citizen gets the government boot, which is what we are looking at now (think like Brazil Mexico etc). Or one where the incompetency is just here so all these laws can pass and very little happen due to the government being incompetent until they reach the desired amount of authoritarian laws needed and then someone competent takes over and it all makes sense.

Didnt fully explain my points but hopefully they get across what I think. Since we are so incompetent right now and it is just easier for anarcho-tyranny, it may go that way but all It takes is someone willing to go all out.
