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.

No shade, it’s easy to get confused with Canada’s inconsistent laws but;
I’ve seen comments on several posts this year claiming handguns are prohibited and can’t be taken to the range by people who own them. This is incorrect. HANDGUN TRANSFERS ARE FROZEN, they CANNOT be bought or otherwise change registered ownership, HANDGUNS ARE STILL RESTRICTED as they were before, and CAN still be transported to and fired at any CFO approved shooting range where the RPAL owner is a member of the registered club that owns that range.
