Genuinely curious on liberal views of gun laws

[u/Callie7680]

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 mean, the fact that they only have a couple sentences when I google “conservative firearms” says otherwise.

Pierre also covered the topic at many of his rallies last spring

Most people aren’t going to rallies. It’s an unreasonable expectation for people to need to attend rallies to stay up to date on a politicians platform.

They also talk about it in the House of Commons all the time.

It isn’t hard to find a firearm policy on a policy declaration. The proof is in the pudding claus.

In your previous comment, you said “They talk about it” I’m saying they do not talk about it nearly enough for it to inspire confidence in me that they will take action if they have a chance. Having it in their declaration is not enough for me. Having 6-8 sentences on Google is not enough for me.

Well then you’re hard to please, because the statement is out there easily accessible telling you that they will do good by firearms owners.

They seem scared to say it with their chest, not reassuring
