1 billion percent, I mean in 1994 they got the firearms act, then banned AR15’s, then handguns, then more rifles and then all the WW2 rifles and they’re still calling for more.
They will be coming for “rapid action” next and then eventually “single shot high velocity armour piercing death howitzers, because that one bullet is a WMD”
Donate to the anti-gun Polytechnique survivor group today and all your wildest dreams will come true. :/
When they all inevitably die of old age, will the organization switch to grifting the anti-aging fight next? It happened 36 years ago. Give it a rest at 40 or 50 please.
Or, let's start up a political lobby for the Bloody Falls Massacre of 1771. We desperately need to ban small skinning knives and the incredibly lethal assault bow's and arrows. Someone needs to think of the children.
It's worse than that. I think YouTuber BATS888 nailed it a while back. They go at this like they've unresolved PTSD and we're all psychos waiting to pop. Like some fanatical crusader, for them no lie, no misrepresentation no underhanded tactic is unacceptable or too far till the threat is gone.
They’ll start using “capable of sustained rapid fire” to ban them. Just like “assault style”, make up a word and use it so much that people that don’t know any better believe you. Just like “assault style” became just assault rifles “capable of sustained rapid fire” will just become “rapid fire” and it can cover what’s left that hasn’t been banned
One could much more easily make a gun using hand tools from scratch, including the powder, projectiles and ignition system, than make an airsoft gun shoot live ammo.
That's not what he's implying. He's implying that metallurgy and physics prevent you from modifying a BB gun to fire live ammunition. That's incorrect. You absolutely can modify certain BB guns to fire live ammunition and I've seen it done.
See the problem with this echo chamber subreddit is a lot of you neanderthals think you're subject matter experts and you go off spouting incorrect information that make all gun owners look just a dumb as yourselves.
I worked as a Weapons technician, I worked in the civilian firearms manufacturing industry, and now I work in a law enforcement capacity and I know what gets seized, I know what's out there and I actually know what I'm talking about because this has been my livelihood for longer than some people on this subreddit have been alive. While also having a PAL longer than most people in this subreddit
I'd have almost let the comment go if he hadn't declared it was the most preposterous thing to ever be insinuated when he's in fact absolutely wrong and it 100% can be done.
No but your reasoning is attempting to justify their bans.
Just because there exists a possibility of a bb gun being modified doesn't mean bbs should be banned.
It's the same problem we're seeing now. Just because illegal guns are used in mass casualty events 30+ years ago doesn't mean we should ban ownership on semis now. But Poly believes it (or at least they push it to keep the machine running).
Firstly, I'm not reading all that mess. Secondly, blow it out your self-aggrandizing anus. Thirdly, just because something can be done doesn't mean it is done easily. If you're actually afraid of bandits with modified BB guns becoming a rampant problem, a problem that justifies stricter firearms legislation, you need to get off Facebook.
I think you joined Reddit to have people that will actually talk to you. You used the word "I" far too many times, let other people speak once in a while, in the real world.
Are those modifications any easier than 3d printing a frame/receiver? Essentially all of the components that will ever touch the cartridge need to be replaced.
I’ve seen a shotgun made out of one of those steering wheel clubs. Should we be banning metal pipes and nails too? Since you could technically make a “shotgun” out of those as well. By shotgun I mean a crude apparatus capable of discharging a shotgun shell which may or may not remove the hands of the one use such device.
There's two bills in I think New York, which is trying to reclassify everything that's not a firearm (BB, pellet, airsoft, paintball) into "replica." And since replicas are required to have plugged barrels, it would end the culture of children being introduced to wholesome gun ownership and safety. Thus wiping out most new gun owners in a generation or two.
We're next to that already, airsoft and BB guns are "uncontrolled firearms" and have to be in a strict muzzle energy band to be legal. For airsoft it works out to 366-500fps with an 0.20g BB. Under is a "replica firearm" and those are illegal (or at least illegal to import, somewhat more grey in-country, but it's why we can't get stuff like nonfiring model guns), above is the same as any nonrestricted and requires a PAL.
Reminds me of that mother in the UK that lost her son. He was murdered by other kids with katanas. Now the UK banned “ninja” swords. They let their grief blind them and others take advantage of that grief to push political agendas.
Well C21 originally had a provision where they wanted to ban the “glorification” of firearms in advertisements. They also had to clarify that they weren’t going after any other media. But give an inch and they’ll take the whole mile.
I’ve been saying this for years and everyone looks at me like I’ve grown a seventh head. The end goal for Poly and the other anti gunners is the complete abolition of private firearm ownership in Canada. And the Liberal party fully supports that goal. They’ve been slowly working towards that since the 90s and they won’t stop.
Lol they don't even care about guns anymore. This is just their job. But if they aren't doing something they don't get paid. If you could convince them being vegan is more important and nothing about their funding supply legally obligates it specifically to guns, you could probably get them to chase that instead.
They will never ban meat, but they can yell for the rest of their lives getting paid. Everyone wins.
