This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

Where is the class action against the CFP/RCMP and contractors over the 2021 data breach that exposed the personal information of Canadian firearms licence holders?

u/rastamasta45 May 15 '26

You know what I absolutely love about liberals in Canada, they’re so terrified of conservatives they elected an authoritarian banker,

So far he’s

  1. Disarming the populace
  2. Passing a bill to end all encryption in Canada
  3. Hinted at making VPN’s illegal
  4. Passed a law to make whatever speech illegal
  5. Encouraging foreign soldiers to join the caf
  6. Stole a majority through back room deals and ignored the will of the people

Add all these up, makes you wonder what the LPC are up 🤔

Anyway I bet LPC voters are happy it’s not Harper in office

Hinted at making VPN’s illegal

Friendly reminder to start looking into Meshtastic, Meshcore and Reticulum.

Meshtastic is easy to use if you're not super tech savvy. Reticulum aims to eventually replicate the functions of the internet completely over radio frequencies (Meshtastic, Meshcore, etc data can all be wired/fed into a Reticulum hub), aided with internet-connected hubs connecting continents/population centers.

EDIT: You also shouldn't import a Baofeng DM-32 from Aliexpress for $100 CAD. That would be soooo bad. You definitely shouldn't enable encryption either. That would also be verrry bad.😿

u/eekay233 May 16 '26

It's like me and one other guy on my local Meshcore net and there's about 12 on Meshtastic. It's mostly just people spamming "test" back and forth and one guy complaining about immigrants.

bro why you gotta out me like this?

u/EliteDuck May 16 '26

Because it’s just enthusiasts on it right now. When the internet is cable TV-ified, people will be flocking to Meshtastic.

"We suspect all these bad gun owners have prohibited firearms, so we have probably cause and will now be eavesdropping on them by activating their phones microphones without a warrant!" 

It's actually fucking nuts that this is somewhat a possibility, and not just total whack job conspiracy now. They literally force companies to have backdoor entry to activate your phones microphone, without a warrant and listen in on everything you say. Granted they need "probably cause", but that's a pretty vague, broad allowance to use it. 

I cant believe people arent more outraged over this bill. Could a minor misdemeanor be probable cause? Does it only apply to suspicion of serious charges? Who knows, all I know is it will be abused.

I hope one day once the liberals are out, we'll get "The Liberal Files", sort of like the Canadian Epstein files, and we'll find out all the crazy weird corrupt shit they've been up to for the last decade. This country has actually gone insane, we're fucked.

u/HappyCan7250 May 15 '26

Backland Hunter has been on the market for several months now without being banned. 

The Alcor has been around for nearly a year or so now without being banned.

SKS still isn't banned

AD500 has been around for a year without being banned.

Homesteader still never got banned

I may be being optimistic, but I think the liberals know they're screwed on this file, and don't want to pour more gas on the fire. I think they're quietly just hoping the whole thing will go away, adding more guns would only complicate things for them at this point.

Besides, we all know they aren't collecting jack shit, so buy the Mk15 while you can, it'll be yours forever!

u/ReturnOk7510 May 17 '26

Since it's being marketed as a FAL/AR derivative, I think there's approximately 0.001% chance it doesn't get banned. They're just waiting for enough people to drop 3 grand on them before they ban it. It's literally part of their playbook, they've said it out loud.

That certain generation had FALs and full autos, but when it was the next generations turn it was just another thing they kicked the ladder out on. We shouldn't be surprised the people who grew up with the summer of free love and a 10,000% return in their real estate don't understand the plight of younger people.

u/FunkyFrunkle May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

Excellent!

Would be incredible if other provinces started to follow suit. It also makes complete and total sense.

I maintain that a huge reason why the provinces are refusing en masse is because their respective Attorney Generals are likely aware of the potential legal crisis these bans could precipitate. Provincial courts are stretched to the max, and flooding the courts with all of these cases for possession of previously legal guns by people who are otherwise squeaky clean is not something they have any interest in doing.

Because of R. v. Jordan, the number of cases getting tossed would skyrocket because the courts would become overwhelmed with the sheer volume of cases, resulting in hearing timelines getting stretched so far out that they’d have to throw out actual criminal cases. According to the charter, everyone has the right to be tried in a reasonable amount of time.

Our “system” is not equipped to support mass incarcerations and it’s certainly not designed to support a massive influx of cases. Our budgets aren’t big enough to pay out the millions of billable hours it would result in.

This whole thing is a massive fuckup. The provinces would be doing Ottawa a favour by beating them in court.

It’s in every provinces best interest to get on board with this.

Why wont they invite the Professor that recently published a study on this? Its not like there no academia experts looking at the issue and concluding it will have minimal to no impact on public safety. I guess science and academia is bought out by the big gun lobby.

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 14 '26

Made a second comment as I watched the video. 6:00. Not a single source cited or even referenced. Just general vibes and trust me bros. Policing capacity and enforcing the ban after October... Holy shit. So bro in one half of his mouth is saying "There is more important shit to do." Then goes on to say bullshit out the other. Also Wendy is straight up lying with the "Most are restricted firearms." Yea no Wendy. That MIGHT have been true back in just the 2020 OIC bans but not now. But go on. Keep lying. I don't except much from you. Also like straight up ignoring Sask and what they have done and Alberta. 12:00. The fact bro thinks this is going to be a front burner issue is actually unhinged. MAYBE for restricted as that's low hanging fruit but non restricteds? The amount of work that is required in getting a non restricted is insane. You would have to. 1. Pick a license holder you don't like that much. 2. Ask for all the reference numbers to the stores they bought guns from. 3. Ask for the records of what guns they bought. 4. If you find one of the prohibited guns now you have to see if there is a chance they sold it so you have to check there firearm transfer history and discuss it with them. It's such a large amount of work and so much boring paper work for such little return you would have to be a real fucking hater to go and do all that... Which I would not be surprised if some cops are willing to do that but I am banking on the fact most cops hate having to do paper work.

Wendy Cuckier going on after about issues related to youth firearm suicide really fucking cracked me up as how does a house being 'full of firearms' make a difference when it comes to firearm by suicide? Last I checked when people do the deed with a firearm they use one. So it doesn't matter if someone has only as single shot break action shotgun or a gun collection 1,000+ guns big. The intimidate partner violence she talks about later is extra insulting as she straight up admits issues with enforcing the laws already in the books. So maybe spend some resources and money enforcing them? Like she can talk big talk now about wanting to deal with the 'root cause' issues but she has had such a history of bad faith nobody believes her. Most certainly not any meaningful stake holder.

Also going back to the cop saying "We really need to build those bridges with gun owners as cops." Is hilarious. Buddy you burned that bridge and now your trying to put out the ashes with piss.

Also the end bit with them asking "What does success look like to you." So one of Wendy's arguments here is "Okay let's look at the crime stats like the homicide rate." Okay Wendy so in five years if the homicide rate does not go down will you consider this project a failure or will you just double down? Oh wait your a career lobbyist so double down. Also again with the suicide comments. How does any of these bans lower suicide? Like that is the thing that probably disgusts me most about this argument. Them pretending to care about suicide. None of these bans do anything to lower gun suicide. Shit gun suicide should not even matter. Overall suicide is what's important. The final thing she said around "Well political extremism and firearms!" Is extra funny. Extremists don't give one shit about what the gun laws are. If someone is willing to carry out a violent attack they don't care if it's illegal for them to buy a glock with a auto switch from a gun smuggler or make a homemade gun themselves. Shit as far as mass killings go in Canada vehicle attacks seem to be a lot more popular and either almost as, just as or even more deadly then mass shootings.

I have to say the cops ending bit made me really fucking laugh. "Really be more decent to, one another." But when it's the government saying that people should be criminalized then you should be as hateful as possible.

Didn't watch the rest as the focal point of this was Wendy and the cop. Tldr? As other people have said this is straight up a propaganda piece. Lot of "Trust me bros." Lot of straight up lies and a lot of fear mongering.

It brings me such great joy knowing poly’s nightmare came true, people will no doubt use the buyback money to buy a Makasi or Carmel, I love is so much, I’d give anything to see the hags at poly lose it 🥹

23

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 20 '26

Won’t be buying the Makasi or Carmel but I will say it again and won’t stop saying it. I own more guns now then I would have if the OICs and handgun freeze never happened. If the OICs never happened I would have a Ruger Mini 14, a Type 81 one .22 lr rifle, one PCC and that’s it maybe a shotgun as well. Might not have even gotten handguns as I would have considered it ‘to much work’. Let’s just say the number of .22 lr firearms I currently have is the same number of total guns I would have give or take a shotgun. If the goal of Poly was to lower the number of guns in Canada they have failed in my case atleast.

16

u/rastamasta45 May 20 '26

Cannot agree more, before the bans I was at 9 guns and that’s it. Then Trudy and poly had to get in my business and now let’s just say I have more guns than most video game arsenals.

I have enough alleged paper weights and I put down for the Makasi, because to me it’s another middle finger to this unjust government!

u/ThreadlockerBlue May 21 '26

The safe is overflowing but I just had to put down for the Makasi too. Absolutely agree; these bans did nothing but increase the total number of guns in the country.

7

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 21 '26

I mean it's just a objective fact at this point. Let's say over the 3 OICS they have banned 2 million total guns. https://thegunblog.ca/reference/imports/ From 2020-2025. 359,236 guns in 2020 alone. 2021 424,808, 2022 496,195, 2023 387,437, 2024 329,658, 2025 322,356. Add those numbers up and you get 2,319,690 guns. Even if 40% of all those guns were banned that would still mean there are 1,391,814 new guns floating around in Canada still being used. Also it's not like all those banned guns have gone away. I would say not even 100,000 have been turned in or more simply put taken away from the overall number of guns in Canada. Oh I also forgot to mention the limited domestic supply made in that which even MRA must make atleast a little over 1,000 rifles a year and I know Savage Arms produces a decent number of .22 LR rifles in Canada. So yea objectively speaking there are more guns now in Canada then before the bans. If the goal was to reduce the number of guns it’s failed. If the goal was to discourage and reduce the number of pal holder’s it’s failed.

Its literally a working democracy they claim to love. Or is democracy one party rule and unelected majorities like we have, as long as its their guy?

Even while they have Trump, if you want to live in a woke hell hole, they have states like California and Oregon if you want junkies in your shit and your kids to be indoctrinated to hate themselves. Thats the beauty of it, theres something for everyone. Rhetorical question i suppose. The modern leftist is totalitarian and wants everyone around the world to be forced the live up to the ideals they dont even come close to.

Now you tell me how fucking stupid it is to have 1 man driving, transporting and actually delivering and pick up cash. Now imagine it was juicy weapons, dont even need to turn thr cash in to guns , just straight up guns. 

You look at that and tell me thats a good plan for 1, let alone a 2 man crew. Hell 3 wouldnt really be safe enough I think. And these companies definitely dont have the manpower for this either. And I can't imagine any self respecting RPAL holder to confiscate his own communities guns.

After already seeing the really shitty pay of a Brinks driver I think that if I was a Brinks driver though saying I no longer get a partner would be the final straw in me quitting. Sorry but I am not Rambo or John Mcclane especially when it comes to other people's insured money. I am not risking my life to have a target put on my back. Idk also what kind of training Brinks driver's get but I doubt it would be enough to effectively take on three guy's by themselves. With two people atleast you have someone to watch your back. By yourself? Three criminals could easily over power your average Brinks driver. They would only even need two handguns if that between the three of them. I can't believe they are seriously trying to go down to one person per truck. That’s just screaming for criminals to target Brinks trucks even more.

u/HappyCan7250 May 20 '26

I personally much prefer the Mk15. I believe the Carmel uses a polymer receiver which I'm not crazy about. The Carmel looks to have a lighter profile barrel as well. 

Im opting Mk15, don't really need both. With the limited number coming in I genuinely hope everyone can get one from a shop if they want one. I guarantee GP is going to be loaded with scalpers trying to resell Mk15s and Carmels for $3500+ within days of the orders coming in. I expect prices will continue to climb on them for a while after the initial batches come in as demand will be pretty high.

Same thing happened with the R9, but Stirling also jacked their prices up. When they first launched they were only like $1200 I think? But then guys were trying to sell them on GP for $2k+.

I'm all for capitalism, but it still bugs me sometimes that guys do this.

Guess I gotta carry this politics thread again lmao, cbc reporting that unions are warning carney gov is looking to limit union strikes and shit like that (or something along those lines) and naturally every boomer is in support of it. Remember this is who we are up agaisnt as not only gun owners, but people who arent part of this cohort. You literally cannot talk to these boomers, or boomer mindset people. They are literally captured by the liberals and are okay with the government taking away labor rights, let alone our gun rights.

Boomers and the liberals WANT you to be defenseless slaves. When you see it that way, it all makes sense. Dont bother engaging with Boomers, just make their lives more difficult when you can.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/tumbler-ridge-mass-shooting-rcmp-guns-9.7207560 I am honestly a little shocked Poly isn't just making this about guns but the fact the police but more so the court system fucked up big. I think that tells me they realize that this time around they don't have as much momentum for banning guns from this shooting. The focus seems to heavily be on AI and the police/courts not doing enough.

21

u/FunkyFrunkle May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

The circumstances that continue to surround this tragedy are hard to ignore, and it’s difficult to condense everything that cultivated into this shooting down to just “guns”.

From the very beginning, the conversation focused on mental health and the grim reality with respect to access to mental health services in rural communities because objectively, that is the major blindspot that allowed a volatile situation to boil over.

I would also put forth that it wasn’t the police that fucked up. They did everything they were supposed to do. They seized the guns from the home. It was the courts that fucked up when they ordered the guns to be returned. I don’t know what went into that decision, but given a lot of high profile cases that have been in the news lately, nobody knows what the courts are doing.

There’s no way to get around that. It was an abject failure of the courts and that’s what people are rightly talking about. The credibility of the buyback in our current context is in active free-fall, and if the gun control groups try to hijack the conversation, it’s not going to be as well received as it has been in the past especially after the spectacle of the last scrum with Provost.

The mishandling of the Nova Scotia massacre involving Brenda Lucki is also still fresh in peoples minds, and it really didn’t help the gun control push in the long run. It left a bad taste in peoples mouth.

18

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 22 '26

Well my big take away from Nova was the police were utterly useless if not down right malicious in that one. Like they literally gave themselves a new Nick name of firehall shooters from that one. Goes nicely with the sleigh dog killers.

But yea. Poly can try to make this about guns and no doubt they will but it’s not going to go much of anywhere. The reality is beyond adding a handful more guns to a OIC list or a FRT ban the push for more gun bans is coming to a end. People in general are concerned about the cost of living. When you are actively cutting programs to help people but are keeping a gun ban that wastes billions of dollars it gets even a regular person questioning the narrative.

19

u/DoYouGetSarcasm May 22 '26

They are calling for what guns were used and how they were obtained so they can use that information to try and ban more guns or put in more gun control. They are infact trying to make this about the guns. And hoping there was a licensed owner involved somehow so they can attack gun ownership as a whole.

1

u/HappyCan7250 May 25 '26

Somehow instead of questioning what led this deranged kid to do this, people are somehow blaming an AI company instead. Personally, I think there are other questions we should be asking about this shooting, that don't relate to guns or to AI. (but I've had enough reddit bans lately but we all know what the elephant in the room on that one is I think)

u/gamercast1337 May 17 '26

Carney is having a lot of issues, from being called out for doing fuckall, and with his caucus right now, potentially another one leaving. I suspect we will be having somr gun bans/gun law changes coming to help distract the people from his failures and to unify the party on something. Mag bans maybe? More semi auto bans? Other gun bans?

"Ough but they can't even do the current gun bans how will they handle the new ones!?" Doesn't matter, thats a future issue he needs something now.

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 18 '26

I don't think gun bans are exactly the winning topic for Carney right now. Funnily enough anytime I bring up the gun bans to a Carney supporter they defend Carney by saying "It was a Treadeu era idea." It's hard to call a PM pragmatic when he turns around does a pet project that only a few ridings give a shit about. They defend the bans as is as saying "Well Carney can't back down now. To much has already been invested into it." If he doubled down by adding even more shit to the list then that would break the reality of "He's just trying to wrap things up." However even all that aside as someone else said. He's got the public at the moment in the palm of his hand. He doesn't need to a 'change the channel' gun ban. He can keep doing what he's doing now and nobody seems to give a fuck.

u/WeightedDips95 May 18 '26

>Funnily enough anytime I bring up the gun bans to a Carney supporter they defend Carney by saying "It was a Treadeu era idea."

Just a note, this isnt exactly a repudiation of the recent gun control regime. Liberal supporters are largely incapable of thinking for themselves. They most likely still believe only the government should have guns, because that is what theyve been taught all their lives. The line you mentioned is more of a rhetorical trick to take the wind out of your sails and obfuscate the issue. Theyre trying to create distance from their new messiah Carney from a policy that has caught a lot of flak and has been shown to be a disgrace.

Its the same exact trick with the whole carbon tax thing. They never disagreed with it when Trudeau was around, and they still dont philosophically disagree with it, nor do they posses the ability to even think about it logically. Its just that the CBC has told them that Carney is the new thing to be excited about, and the guy to fall in line behind, and he says that the carbon tax is so yesterday!(but also, we still need one? lets not get into that!)

This is all to say that we shouldnt kid ourselves, or take any sort of comfort in what the normie cattle are saying. If Carney came out with a ban tomorrow and laid the buzzwords on thick, the normoids would p*ss and Shi*d themselves with jubilation.

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 18 '26

It’s funny as the wind out of the sails can be very easily brought back by saying “How much double downing on the carbon tax did JT did that Carney just ended?”

Yea to add more nuance to what I said above you are right. They are in a strange contradictory plain of existence.

Maybe but it really depends how the media spins it. That’s one thing I have noticed.

13

u/WeightedDips95 May 18 '26

I dont even try anymore. In my experience, if people are publicly defending Liberal policy, its already too late for them. I even have tried with a couple friends/ family. It always ends the same. They agree to your logic after 30 minutes of breaking it down, and then the next time you guys talk about something its like you never had the conversation. Youre going up against 10-20-30 years, even 40 for boomers of constant indoctrination. Youd drive yourself mad trying to go against that.

Even my own mother, who is depressed because all her children had to move 1000s of kms away from our birthplace because its unaffordable, still not able to break the LPC spell no matter how hard I try. And its funny cause she complains about tons of stuff that has become so blatantly ridiculous and she acknowledges the LPC caused it, but she still thinks the CPC are the antichrist or something.

7

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 18 '26

As the saying goes. I don’t debate for the person I am debating I debate for the people who are watching and listening. I have been able to convince some people but not that many I admit. Generally what I do now is try to get people who want to become PAL holders help them to get there pals. As the way I see it the more PAL holders the better.

See that is painful to me and the most boomer minded thing “Okay so you know the liberals are bad but you think the conservatives are worse… Have you tried voting for anybody else then?” Which so many times I hear the argument “You are throwing your vote away by doing that.” But if you hate both parties then I would say it’s not throwing your vote away as if I could only pick between two parties I wouldn’t even vote. If I did it would be a spoiled ballet.

u/FunkyFrunkle May 18 '26 edited May 18 '26

I could always be wrong, but I don’t think we’re staring at any more gun bans in the near future. Parliament is about to break for summer, and this whole thing is a mess. A mess that’s headed to the Supreme Court.

I expect them to make announcements on things that are actively gripping public attention which orbits around the economy because so far that’s where the most positive press is coming from for the government, with “trade deals” and expediting reviews for national projects.

Gun bans don’t offer that release valve anymore, and they haven’t for a while because nobody cares anymore. This whole thing is ballooning in cost to the point where even the media doesn’t even fluff it anymore.

I’m not really expecting anything to get announced.

7

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 18 '26

They got 20 more days to announce something (unless they choose to do it durning the weekend for some reason.) That’s not much time. The Supreme Court case and the fact they will need to deal with the October gun bans doesn’t help matters either. As chances are they would have to extend the gun ban again if they added more guns to the ban list. Overall maybe after the SC course ruling if they rule in favour of the CCFR they introduce legislation sometime in 2027. Which here’s a trip down memory lane. It took with a majority government mind you to pass Bill C-71 14 months to get from the house to the senate to be done. The government has 41 months left of sitting time before the next federal election…

7

u/FunkyFrunkle May 19 '26

They have 20 days to announce it, and when they return in September, they have until the 30th of the following month to do something to prevent an injunction if they don’t extend the amnesty.

They’re in a rush to collect and destroy as much as they can to try and make the injunction pointless, but we’ll see how it plays out.

5

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 19 '26

Fair enough. They are running out of time though. Which is why I don’t think they will be adding anything else to the ban list until October 30th passes.

6

u/Goliad1990 May 19 '26

I could always be wrong, but I don’t think we’re staring at any more gun bans in the near future

The Makasi and Carmel are 100% getting the banhammer in the near future, that's not in question.

But Wendy Cukier, in that interview with TVO that people are rage-sharing, did say that she thinks the laws are fine now when asked about what should come next. If the anti-gun lobbyists are now shifting from "we need new laws" to "the laws are now good and we need to focus on enforcement", then yeah, I agree we probably won't see anything large-scale anytime soon.

Gun bans don’t offer that release valve anymore, and they haven’t for a while because nobody cares anymore.

I think it's a bit beyond "nobody cares". They've made such a fuckup of the confiscation program, and caught so much controversy for it, that they're probably going to be actively avoiding gun control as a wedge issue for the forseeable future. Gary did say as much in his leaked tape.

6

u/FunkyFrunkle May 19 '26

Yeah, I forgot to add the caveat that anything new that’s semi-auto cope guns are probably going to get banned. If not by OIC, I’d expect it to be captured by the new legislation aimed at streamlining the Firearms Act or FRT update.

This whole thing has gone from political showboating to an actively corrosive policy that has compounded into a biblical logistical and legal nightmare that has been opposed by nearly every province and territory save for two. Combined with massive deficits and infrastructure projects that command more money, I really believe that the appetite for more gun control has evaporated, and the focus has shifted to trying to get this thing off the books.

5

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 19 '26

I did find that part of the interview interesting when Wendy Cukier didn't demand anymore gun bans. Idk if that was her just saying 'the right thing' for the camera or if some segments of the anti gun movement in Canada are realizing that laws are useless when you have no meaningful way to enforce them. You can make every paper law you want but if you are not capable of enforcing then in a meaningful capacity they are useless.

8

u/FunkyFrunkle May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26

I think it’s them not wanting to rock the boat anymore and risk pushing the whole project over the edge. This whole thing is being met with unprecedented resistance on almost every level, and the program is objectively closer to complete and total collapse than it is to a measurable success.

I’m not defending the guy, and I know people here are sick of hearing it, but the objective truth is Carney has shown very little enthusiasm for the program, and has even breezed past it entirely when directly asked about violent crime. That is completely intentional. He’s actively trying to distance himself from the program and the gun control groups have noticed. It’s causing them a whole lot of heartburn and anxiety.

Just look at MP Provost during the last media briefing. Look at what she was saying and her body language. She was begging for people to rat out friends and family. She shoved the minister out of the way, she was visibly anxious and rattled. That’s not what confidence looks like. That’s what it looks like when your program is collapsing in slow-motion and you haven’t been given assurances behind closed doors.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some internal friction between the gun control groups and government. This whole mess is going to the Supreme Court because of how the gun control groups demanded these bans be imposed. Now the government stands a very real chance of having their executive power severely weakened, depending on the Supreme Court ruling which is effectively a coin toss.

Current political and economic conditions aren’t very conducive for a multi-billion dollar gun ban and if they keep pushing for more, they risk dragging the whole program beneath the waves and drowning it entirely. They largely got what they wanted, asking for more will threaten this program, not benefit it. All it takes is for some popular social programs to be cut while the gun ban remains unscathed for people to start asking pointed questions, which we’ve seen already.

I don’t think people really understand how badly this program is going because we’ve become so withdrawn.

4

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 19 '26

I think this is to go and show the sheer hubris of the anti gun community. Instead of waiting for the first OIC to be done they demanded more. Now it’s become a absolute mess for a project to deal with just by the sheer volume.

It's funny how a couple floor crossers and the media talks about it forever and questions the CPC, but liberal MPs quitting like crazy and the media asks no questions.

It’s definitely possible, Smith hasn’t dropped it once, she brings it up hand in hand every time they talk about the referendum. I mean Gary confirmed it in the recording, they’re sending us to jail because Quebec wants it, so why remain in Canada for the bidding of Quebec.

While libtards reversing guns laws is hard to believe, Alberta being cool with criminalization of their guns is also impossible to believe, someone is going to have to back down, it’s pointing to Ottawa!

Side note, I found it hilarious how people shit on Alberta for this and especially Eby, yet we’re all ignoring the simple fact that Quebec is as power as they due to their own referendum.

u/boozefiend3000 May 24 '26

Ah, dunno. Polls are showing a majority would vote to stay in Canada in a referendum. Alberta federally doesn’t vote liberal, Quebec does. And Quebec loves gun control. Can’t see the liberals pissing off their base for a province that doesn’t support them and most likely isn’t leaving the country 

7

u/Office_Responsible May 23 '26

No I don’t think so. This program is going to go through unless the Supreme Court does something. They have doubled down repeatedly, admitting they were wrong is not going to happen. Alberta will get some concessions perhaps but nothing on the gun file I predict.

I doubt it but with it being what, 2 billion now, fuckall to show for it in the middle of a cost of living crisis and needing to have the courts shut down a (perfectly legal) separatist vote because it was getting too popular may signal something. Maybe. Probably not, especially since Carney may be losing his majority due to him bleeding MPs (despite no one criticising the liberals the way they criticize the cons) he will need to hold on to the poly lady.

He hasn't lost any MP's though as of yet.

This I think is the biggest thing Carney has to worry about. Not so much guns but environmentalism. If I was those 14 Mps with there biggest issues being environmentalism I would straight up get the fellow signers together and say "Look somethings got to change. Either you do or we are and that majority you got will be awfully short lived." Now where would they go you may ask? Well that's easy. The Green Party. Now you might be saying "Well that's political insanity to do that." Well is it? The NDP does not take floor crossers. The Bloc does but they got 22 members already. Sure getting 14 members would be big for them but they would largely be out numbered. Going to the Green party and they instantly gain a insane amount of power and the party leader owes them big. They would by doing that give the Green party official party status and give them a meaningful voice. Because if your biggest issue is environmentalism then the Green party is the place to go. Now if those 14 people had spine that’s what they would do.

Maybe but not after they collect and destroy a bunch of firearms with a big glowing photo op and video. They need to get that "win" under their belt to justify the expense, program is too far along to back out completely now. Might get scrapped after though with like a permanent no-use amnesty and/or a vague promise of a future second round of buyback which they will just never move on.

And make no mistake even if they have already decided as of today to give up after the current round of buyback is finished they won't tell anyone until the day the amnesty expires, they want the maximum amount of people to get scared and chop up their guns or turn them in without compensation to the cops. Every gun we lose and every person they intimidate into begging the police to take their guns and destroy in the last weeks before the amnesty ends will be a win to these people.

Your probably right on an 11th hour amnesty extension if they dont just drop the whole thing. Same for how they will inevitably spin it to win it (in thier tiny minds)

Honestly man, I get how it can be disappointing, but get out and shoot as much as you can. The remaining shops need the support (of us buying ammo), and I have thoroughly been enjoying my bolt guns lately too. It can be actually really fun going out at 100yd and trying to shoot the tiniest groups possible.

I also honestly find my bolt guns to be more fun sometimes, the manual action can be more engaging in some ways. I probably take my bolt guns out more than my semi autos these days.

But, I'm still stoked for the Mk15 I've got coming.

Point is, don't let the Liberals take the fun out of a great sport and hobby. Just find other ways to enjoy it. Trap and skeet are still a lot of fun too. Trying to keep a bit of optimism, and I still go try to poke tiny close holes in paper every weekend.
