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

My cousin was hit by a drunk driver and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Do we ban cars? Also. I’m sorry to hear about your cousin.

I’m shocked at how you can think either of those have any parallels. Murder and involuntary manslaughter are very very different things.

Putting measures in to prevent drunk driving would be a good thing no? How many lives would be saved if we banned smoking in Canada?

And that has to do with a firearm designed for killing, how? Come on! You know what this is about. It doesn’t have to be political!

A dopamine high. Again, zero parallels if that's what you were going for.
