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.

Thursday the Supreme Court decides if they wanna hear the CCFR case. Fingers crossed

I hope they hear it, but something tells they'll decline it, saying that the Federal Court of appeal was right and there is "no need" to address this, which would be rich coming from well paid Santa-suit wearing people who make 400K a year and probably are protected by people who carry those same firearms that the government banned as "weapons of war".

Even though the Federal Courts decision leaned heavily on “The government will give compensation though” which now they actively aren’t even doing that.

Let's hope they'll see that as a valid reason for a SCoC review, but I still have a gut feeling they're going to cite some case law/SCoC case where they'll say that the government has no legal right to even compensate gun owners when the gov wants to take their property. Hope I'm wrong!
