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.

In a more positive light I’m grateful the firearms community remains alive and well. Amazing to see the fight against these bans continue and we haven’t succumbed to becoming jaded

The big question is, are people willing to do things unlawfully if the government bans everything. When alcohol and drug prohibitions were in effect, people did the unlawful activity and dealt with the repercussions. It was done so much that eventually the government had to change the laws. ACTUAL mass non compliance is the only way forward.

Amen, rights are fought for and won. You don't hold your bowl out and ask for scraps.
