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.

After years of doing little more than speaking out against the federal government’s gun buyback program, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is getting off the bench and joining his Alberta and Saskatchewan counterparts in challenging the program in court

About fucking time.

God wouldn’t it be amazing if Manitoba joined in.

Say what you want about the NDP, but if they ever threw their hat in the ring it’d be a much larger nail in the coffin for this program since it would be a more progressive party actively fighting this.

Wab and Lewis have both spoken out against the buyback as well

I'm honestly shocked Manitoba hasn't since the premier last I checked hunts and if I remember right also said the gun bans are a load of horse shit paraphrasing of course.
