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

I dunno, maybe that the conservatives should drop Pierre as leader. They seem to think the conservatives have lost support on account of a few floor crossers, but in reality there was monetary pressure from carney to persuade their floor crossing decisions.

Are you against the idea of Pierre being replaced? I don’t see anything special about him.

What’s your reason for Pierre getting replaced? He did excellent in the last election and he is a good voice to keep the liberals accountable. That’s literally his job and he’s doing great at it.

I never said I had a reason, I don’t really care if he gets replaced. I was just curious to hear the reason you were against it. And by the special comment I meant that I don’t see anything unique about him, I am sure there are other great conservative candidates who don’t have the reputation, deserved or not, Pierre now has.

What’s his reputation? You stated earlier that you don’t watch mainstream media like the cbc…..

In my circle(not liberal) he’s seen as a shill for “the big guys”. No better than carney.

I think Pierre is more trustworthy than a globalist elite lol
