Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

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.

I don't think most boomers have ill will toward future generations, they are just highly susceptible to broadcast media propaganda. This makes them a large voting block that the incumbent government can easily manipulate to stay in power.

The real problem that plagues our nation is that the government controls nearly every aspect of everything and continues to expand its influence. Unfortunately, that's a very hard trend to reverse.

I know some boomers that don't believe a word from MSM and spout off all sorts of nonsense that they find online. Things that if you even spend the least amount of time fact checking you know are outlandishly false.

I'm a boomer. I take anything from mainstream/broadcast media with a grain of salt because I know a lot of what is being aired is paid for content that's passed off as news. But I also have less faith in non mainstream content.

Yeah, I have no ill will to subsequent generations. I think some boomers pushed their kids. The next set of kids pushed back and created issues like participation medals, helicoptering, etc. which they caused a subsequent generation to be very entitled.

I'm not suggesting that expecting the same standard of living is being entitled.

What I am saying that some people want the same standard but not have to work for it because their parents gave everything to them and protected them from reality.
