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.

Its funny with you mentioning spiritual boomers, probably read my other comment saying my friend was one in spirit and yeah, hes fucking insulated from the economy going to shit. hes essentially got to do life on easy mode besides putting in, admittedly a bit of hard work in the beginning to get his position but from there on is essentially on easy mode. Rental property, job that you literally cannot lose in any sort of economic downturn, parents that work (may not have the riches but definitely middle class) and had been leaning more and more boomer liberal over the years as he fell into this comfort. Always got an excuse for the liberal failures, doesnt understand how difficult life is and that lots of people need to choose between bills and food.

Sorry for the rant but it ain't just the actual boomers thats the issue but the boomers in spirit too. Dont even know what the point of my comment here is other than an example of people who are protected from the economy can afford these stupid luxury beliefs.
