LMAOOO

Freaking love this! God they must be seething right now because the buyback portal (their best propaganda for this program “bUt YoU wIlL gET pAiD”) is already closed, over budget and they still can’t collect the guns. Can’t demonstrate it’s a success, gun crime is worse now than before the bans.

Supreme Court case is literally challenging the very nature of OiC bans, I bet they’re seething, just seething.

Not to mentioned they do follow and subscribe to gun stores, so they get all the emails about the pre orders.

Obligatory, fuck poly, fuck the old hags that run them and hope provolone has another meltdown and pushes the chipmunk again!

Honestly im not even sure if the timming for the supreme court case is right. They have a majortiy and could simply ban them with a proper bill wich will have no hope to be reverse like the OIC.

The second if is doing a LOT of heavy lifting. Even OICs should come with grandfathering. But no, we get fucked again

For sure, but it is insane to me that you and I have zero legal rights to anything that we “own”.

It's truly mind blowing isn't it?

u/Disastrous-Panic-87 May 21 '26

Yup that's the part that scares me the most.

Still could reverse it but would need a majority government and change the law

Well. The majority liberals have right now is not very strong. It’s a super big tent centered around economic agendas. That means they will push economic policies first and then use gun control to please the mega city voters.

Therefore, the worst case could come when liberals really screwed up or decided to call an election. Gun control right now is still very low on the ballot question list. I won’t spend much time on this topic because of the limited return.

Carney’s government inherited some of the gun control policy from Trudeau era and they seem to be distancing themselves from the previous liberal government. In my humble opinion, this is more like a side arm for them. Won’t be using too much now but it’s good to have it.

The gun control program is also a total failure if not a national joke now. CPC is trying to leverage on this matter so that gives libs more reason to keep this a cold dead issue.

My assumption is sometime down the road, they will come up with a grandfathering or freeze and call it a win. I think Ottawa is smart enough to realize that any more money spent on this issue will their financial and political deficit. Trudeau might be silly enough to go down that rabbit hole, but I don’t see that in Carney.

I don't know man, I don't think Ottawa is ever smart enough not to throw more money on the bonfire. Anytime they see an issue, they just throw money at it without worrying or caring. They'll burn as much as they want, and can, without a second thought. They'll just shutdown any committees and investigations into it anyway. 0 accountability. The Canadian public will just forget, just like the billions and billions they've sunk into failing businesses due to their own failures, and no one bats and eye. Carney is about to spend a few dozen billion taxpayer dollars trying to fucking pump C02 into the ground even. He doesn't give a shit about wasting our money. 

The LPC still has some real nutty lefties in it, who may just well twist Carneys arm a bit too. He had the chance to distance himself and drop the program, or grandfather, and he pushed ahead still no matter what.

I imagine this "New World Order" he keeps talking about, does NOT entail civilian ownership of guns. You also won't need to hunt because we'll all be vegans or eating cloned meat! (half kidding).

If you call opinions beliefs. I guess you are entitled to opinions so help yourself buddy

u/gspotcowboy May 21 '26

Unfortunately we're in the good guys/bad guys era of politics, so opinions automatically equal beliefs 🤷‍♂️

I'm also right there with you fella, Carney doesn't need Quebec's votes until April of 2029. IMO he doesn't need the political capital from kicking the horse corpse of gun control; if anything, he knows it's unpopular and flawed, and doesn't want to keep it in the limelight.

We'll all see what happens, together, as a community... but the current government can kick whatever they want down the road. At least until 2029 I guess.

u/Whispersfine May 21 '26

I agree. I understand the widespreaded frustration inside this community but I firmly believe gun control policy in Canada has been a political stunt, at least very much so for the recent years.

People oftentimes think libs benefits from it and they are right, libs do but also got backfired sometimes. The recent failure of buy back program has shown them the public is no longer willing to squander money on political right but expensive and useless programs. Carney, a pragmatic politician running heavily on economic platforms should realize the very little return he’s getting back from it.

I personally won’t be so optimistic to assume we are safe till 29. I believe once there is enough chips on the table, most likely a economic recovery, they will call election right away to solve the “ undemocratic majority “ issue .

But for now, I don’t see another major gun seizing movement in at least 12 months.

That's what i've been saying. Carney is too smart to deal with Ms. Not A Gopher any more than he absolutely had too. She and this program are just a liability at this point. I would bet money on it all just kinda dying on the vine. They got the majority, they got the liberal news watcher brownie points for trying, why not just save the money by not actually doing it and never talking about it again?

They are literally going down the rabbit hole. It was obvious when they doubled down after the Gary audio leak.
