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.

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.

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)
