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.

My personal theory is since the brother has prior firearms charges is that this was a much larger fuck up by the RCMP than we had initially thought. It may be some of the firearms used were obtained through illegal firearms trafficking (possibly from the states). The RCMP is trying to figure out how to best release this to the public and it would also make the liberals look bad so they’re in no rush either.

Yes there is that but the shooter too has a uh... unfortunate identity that opening this can of worms will go agaisnt their entire narrative of a certain..... jeez how do i say this without getting banned....(i havent finished schizo posting this week no ban pls).

 The shooter had mental illnesses and was a member of a group that predominantly has people with mental illnesses in it and the government doesnt want to make this connection.

Yeah, you do have to be very careful talking about that on here. Reddit has banned me multiple times for politely discussing those topics. We get what you mean.
