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.

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

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?

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