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.

Do you think the announcement of the Alberta referendum and the sudden “care” that Carney has for Alberta could have them scrap the buyback or increase the amnesty period? Since the gun grab is one top causes for the separation among other issues I would like to hear your thoughts.

I doubt it. Gun control is a huge corner stone of the liberal party. If carney was gonna help us out he would’ve done so by now. Guys been PM for over a year and just keeps doubling down on this bullshit

I mean this would be the perfect out. "To get Alberta to calm down we had to unban these guns. It sucks but it was what needed to be done." It's the best way to put the 'blame' on someone else. Like yes Carney has had other outs but nothing quite as big as this.

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
