Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

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.

I seriously dont understand anyone that hates on the US. Because they elect someone they dont like every once in a while? Like if you dont like Trump its the same country that elected Obama twice? 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.

Sorry for the rant, pretty besides the point.

No there is no truly free state like Nevada that isn't in the fucking desert. When America has green Nevada then we can talk.

u/WeightedDips95 May 21 '26

Hey, can we talk? Not all of Nevada is desert. Reno and Lake Tahoe off the top of my mind.

You shifted the goalpost epic style!

The goal was always posted at as forested as Maine or it was Joeover.

New Hampshire?

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 21 '26

Close but still no legal sex work. Only state that can claim that award is Nevada. As the state was founded by brothel owners pretty much.

I'd easily take the freedom to not worry about basically any form of crime over a gooners paradise.

u/WeightedDips95 May 22 '26

This attack on gooners cant stand

u/InitialAd4125 May 21 '26

Boooo. I need more freedom not less security theater bullshit.

u/TKB-059 bc May 21 '26

 security theater bullshit

Its changing consumer habits.

u/InitialAd4125 May 21 '26

Those who would give up freedom for security deserve neither. Paraphrasing some old dead guy.

This sub calls the US the freest country in the world but they have the highest percent of their population in prison

8

u/WeightedDips95 May 22 '26

What absurd logic lmao. Having criminals in prison means you dont have freedom? So by your logic if a country simply never punished crime and let criminals terrorize their population, that would be a free country? Canada is freer than the US?

-1

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 22 '26

Considering some of the really bullshit laws America has? Yea a lot of the people in prison in America shouldn’t be in prison.

u/IronLover64 May 22 '26

Ever heard of private prisons and kids for cash? Prison industrial complex?

u/WeightedDips95 May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

I mean sure, the possibility exists for corruption and a perverse incentive, but that would be illegal. Hadnt heard of Kids for Cash but from what I just read on wikipedia, the judges involved didnt go unpunished. They were disbarred and charged with crimes, and their victims seem to have had their records expunged.

So its not like it codified anywhere to send people to prison for money.

So yeah, compared to Canada and parts of europe, where you can go to jail for saying the wrong things to the wrong people- this list getting broader by the year, have your life taken from you for not getting jabbed, owning arbitrarily banned property, the US is much freer.

Don’t commit crimes maybe? Punish criminals more and the law abiding less and that’s freedom. Too bad liberals prioritize it the other way around. Otherwise Canada could much better.

u/IronLover64 May 22 '26

Also "your kids to be indoctrinated"

You're acting like the conservatives in southern states don't do that. Ever heard of what happens to people in sundown towns or being forced to recite the pledge of allegiance every morning at school?

10

u/WeightedDips95 May 22 '26

Kids singing or reciting a national anthem, something that has been done for decades, even in Canada, is not the same realm as the introduction of critical race and gender theory into schools. Its funny that that is your best attempt to both sides the issue. Very telling.

u/Office_Responsible May 23 '26

How is the pledge of allegiance indoctrination. Pride in one’s nation and being grateful to it is not indoctrination. Canada could use some more pride in our nation.

"A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

Life imitates art...
