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.

Some news sites are reporting this as an ambush and apparently there was a manifesto sent to news outlets. Beyond that it’s currently speculation while they search for a possible second shooter.

We’ll probably find out more in the coming days after an initial investigation.

Poly must be so excited at this, getting to use a dead cop to push their agenda (while they never have to deal with day to day life in their gated communities) . Wonder if it was a for lack of better word loser incel-esque manifesto or a Islamic manifesto. Both of these seem to be happening more and more and yet they dont want to deal with the root causes of it(hint the root causes arent guns).

I hate to speculate but given the location and where the dudes from it’ll be either politically motivated or have to do with anti-semitism.

Wonder if its going to be too politically inconvenient to talk about like the school shooting a few months ago. Im not joking, and its a horrible thing to say, but that will be our saving grace. 

If the shooter is an Islamist (especially if an immigrant), then the government needs to address that and they do NOT want to address this.
