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.

Actually a good thing for gun owners as it makes any kind of buyback a very hard pill to swallow and justify for the government.

Because it's a lot of money for a non-problem to get your voter base to back when they should be looking toward making things more affordable for the average Canadian

To be clear, I don't disagree with you. They SHOULD be looking out for their citizens.

But the core issue is you're approaching this like the government cares about it's people and that they aren't just furthering their own agenda / ideology. The Liberals have proven exactly how far feelings and vibes can be used as justification.

If the government had been held to facts and science (as is evidence by the numerous experts and studies that have proven how 'harmful' firearms ownership is); we'd have way more lax laws and a lot less OIC bullshit.
