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

Literally his position, “we should have nationalized grocery chains. There isn’t a need to hunt when you can buy anything you need to eat at the grocery store”. Ideologues that have never felt any scarcity or hardships in their lives believe these things. I’m an immigrant. I came to Canada 30 years ago. I can tell you that those of us what experienced hardships know you can never rely on the government to be your messiah. You have only yourself.

Nationalized grocery chains would fix a lot of the food availability problems to be fair.

Running the Westons to hell would be great.
