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.

A question that’s been pretty beat to death at this point, but would you want to see a constitutional right to bear arms similar to the United States, along with similar laws? (Permitless carry, no magazine capacity restrictions, suppressors)

One correction. Along with "not murica, Canadians have an inarguable fetish for mediocrity. Liberals love the smell of thier own farts and the state of things as long as they can feel they are better than just america rather than striving to actually be better than half or more other members of the G7.

kanaduh is the fondling my own cheeks meme brought to life.

Personally I find the G7 to be kind of a limited sample pool. I think comparing ourselves to countries in the OECD would make more sense. Which even if you do where not looking hot in metrics that matter such as housing to income ratio. (Where 15.4 points over the OECD average.) https://www.statista.com/statistics/237529/price-to-income-ratio-of-housing-worldwide/?srsltid=AfmBOopyRrVO54g0Kn2MRD-W4yQ2TkzF2yh-smhD71gp1Ig_zHtCyMNq
