News / Politics / Activism Owning guns- Right or Privilege?

So obviously here in Canada our government sees private firearm ownership as a privilege rather than a right. My question is, how you guys feel? Do you think gun ownership is a right or a privilege?

When you look at other things people view as rights, such as abortion, freedom of expression and freedom of religion etc. These are all viewed by most as inherently “good rights”, but in many countries these rights are restricted. I think, along with many others, that it is justified to ignore unjust laws that restrict human rights.

I personally believe that firearm ownership is a fundamental human right because it protects all of our other rights and freedoms from being taken away. So even though legally speaking firearm ownership is a privilege that can be taken away at any time here in Canada, I don’t agree with the way our country and many others treat firearm ownership.

See this is where the disconnect is the guy you're commenting on is a realist who knows whats going on. Man has my full support.

Then you come in spewing about gun rights. We don't have gun rights. Most of us don't want them. Regulating who owns guns is a good thing.

Its not pathetic.

No I don't agree with them. I'm here because you're americanizing gun ownership and because gun rights don't exist and I don't want them to.
