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.

You know the poem "First they came for?" Yea people didn't read the poem enough. That goes beyond just guns as well.

You jest, but I had someone say effectively that in a different sub. They considered the Orwellian surveillance and police state powers of the Liberal bills to be a reasonable tradeoff to the mass extermination they were convinced the Conservatives would perform if they were elected. I wish I was joking.

Benjamin Franklin said it best. Those who trade liberty for security deserve neither.

Don't get me wrong, Gary is not a good MP. but let's be real. He's just a walking talking puppet for the Liberal upper brass to use and then dump.

Credit where it's due, he's an exceptional lightning rod for Carney. He can push all the unsavoury policies the Liberals LOVE while keeping Carney's image clean.
