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.

"If we can bridge the gap between the most polarized on the firearms spectrum"

The gap was created by the same people getting their way. Firearms owners haven't got any more extreme over the years. The people being paid to push the agenda will continue to do so regardless of any facts presented to them. Extremely naive to believe there is any chance in reasoning with these people

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

100% agree.

Reasoning with Poly would be like trying to reason with a toddler that has been jumping on the couch and eating candy three meals a day for the last five years. Poly is not running on logic. They are all about feelings and personal agendas.
