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.

Competitive handgun shooter "are" targeted by Canadian government handgun transfer ban

Not sure why they are being meek with the original title, should just say it the way it is.

Also, sport shooters with semi auto rifle and certain shotguns are also affected. Yes, we known that since 2020.

I know people here hate CBC, but I think we can all agree it’s good that this is even being discussed. Handguns will be a tougher nut to crack but I know we’ll get IPSC back to its former self. Just a question of how long.

Part of stopping the full death of the sport would be the investment of gun clubs or ranges in rental competition gear to allow new shooters to get their black badges. Very expensive but I’d hope that could pay off
