News / Politics / Activism Genuinely curious on liberal views of gun laws

Hello all. Looking for a debate on the other side of all of the gun laws / bans from a liberal point of view. How does it ACTUALLY make sense to liberals with the current laws. C21 was passed with hopes of lowering crime? How is that going? The OIC. How has the crime rate gone since? How are these “liberal experts” in power thinking this is actually going to make a difference? Canada could 100% ban every single firearm and gun crime would not go down 1 bit. I don’t really know any liberals to talk about it with I’d actually like to hear their side on it. I’m clearly not an expert on any of this but it just seems so ridiculous

Agreed. I don’t agree with the bans or the buy back. I believe in common sense gun control. Do I want to own a M60 yes am I upset I can’t no. Guns are not my whole personality.

allowing civilian ownership of a semi M60 IS common sense gun control. anyone who can afford the 20k isn’t going to do anything bad with it.

Sadly in today's climate many make a single issue their entire personality. Happens on both sides
