News / Politics / Activism Escaping the Gun Debate Trap | David Yamane | Bridging the gap on politics.

Bill C-21 and the OIC has been a significant topic in the house of commons. Regardless of which side of the aisle you stand, the conversations about guns are often polarized and emotionally charged. Misunderstandings on both sides can lead to mistrust, oversimplified stereotypes, and policies that fail to reflect the complexity of the issue. Encouraging dialogue rooted in respect, education, and shared values can help create a more informed and constructive public conversation.

Please watch the attached video and consider what Professor Yamane has to say. If we can bridge the gap between the most polarized on the firearms spectrum, I believe we can make better policy to benefit Canada.

The polarization is due to the existing dichotomy that the liberals forced on us. You either keep your firearms, and have property rights by extension of that: or you dont.

There is no middle ground.
