News / Politics / Activism Some better interim news for Sask

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-kna_B132o

Looks like our province is providing some interim protections to delay the issue, maybe hold out for a more reasonable government - as I am understanding it.

Why do they keep taking about gun grabs and how they are bad, ya no shit but why is their a gun grab in the first place? Because they banned guns. The focus should be on reversing the bans and lifting the handgun freeze.

That is the focus.

The problem is that provinces have limited power to what they can do- So Sask is doing what little it can to stymie the gun grab. A sizeable majority of folks seem to be against the bans now, yet the Feds refuse to yield. I haven't seen more positive focus on gun ownership in this country in recent memory. We just need to keep truckin'.

I didnt watch the whole video but he starts off with talking about the gun grab. Its not just him. Every politician says gun grab bad but i never hear any of them say gun ban bad. I dont believe the focus is actually on reversing bans when they never even talk about it. It should be the first thing they mention in the video, not the gun grab.

I hear where you're coming from, but I figure this has to happen incrementally. Gun owners can't overplay our hand here- the good will we've built up is invaluable. I'm really hoping (perhaps naively) that this could turn into a foothold for the community to push forward. I just don't see the LPC suddenly doing a 180° and saying:

"ok, actually we were wrong. In the face of falling support for this policy we will scrap it. All OICs are hereby removed! #elbowsup"

Provincial governments can’t do that. But they can say this hoping you’ll vote for them next time.

u/xthemoonx Mar 12 '26

I understand they cant do it but they cant even talk about how its stupid?

u/RelativeFox1 Mar 12 '26

Isn’t that what they are doing?

u/xthemoonx Mar 12 '26

No the focus is always on "the gun grab" not "the gun ban" 2 different things.

u/RelativeFox1 Mar 12 '26

I would call them one and the same. They aren’t calling for an end to the confiscation but maintaining the ban.

u/xthemoonx Mar 12 '26

Sure doesnt sound that way from the words they use. You need to listen carefully to the words politicians actually use and not try to assume they mean something else that they aren't actually saying.

u/RelativeFox1 Mar 12 '26

Yeah I hear them trying to get my love and vote next election.

u/xthemoonx Mar 12 '26

You hear what you want to hear my guy. I'm done here.

Because they're being realistic. We obviously want the bans reversed. I want a million dollars too. But the liberals are still in power and trying to get them to reverse the bans would amount to a fart in the wind. Particularly with that screeching harpy from poly in his party.

u/xthemoonx Mar 12 '26

They still need to talk about it. We cant change it by not talking about it. At this rate libs will end the gun buy back and just take the guns anyway.

u/i-Hermit Mar 12 '26

From a provincial perspective this is probably considered a "stay in your lane" area. It's a federal matter, so commenting on that aspect is outside of their scope.

Talking about it is protected speech. The more bitching we do, the more pressure they get to reverse it. End of discussion(with me).

Edit: talking to your mp, email the pmo. Im personally done here.
