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

https://youtu.be/BzB8MX4v8ko?si=QWHy-SNhCIq5FO82

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.

We should not be reasoning with poly but instead with normal everyday Canadians. Think of yourselves as little missionaries.

This is how I see it. Poly and it's constuents are already deeply entrenched in their rhetoric.

The target should be the average person that doesn't really understand firearms or firearms laws and regulations.
