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.

It’s crazy how fast governments start respecting citizens rights to keep arms when it’s so they can potentially die to protect their rackets

Hell it's even cost effective but nope. It's funny you see this in two cases one when the nation treats it's people like people and not like chattel like say Switzerland. And then when they are threatened.

Yup. And they’re too dumb to realize if they provide citizens with the bare minimum of respect that they’ll be willing to fight and die of their own accord. I won’t even entertain it when people say “well with drumpfler threatening our Democracy the libs should be giving us our guns back”. Nor would I if I was in Ukraine. I ain’t dying for no one’s golden toilets.

The government can unban all the guns from the OIC list and legalize CC. It would still take them fundamentally changing at the core for me to support the liberals. Which so far the core values seem to be bailing out coffin condo companies, trying to break up Air Canada strikers, pushing through spy bills. The list goes on. When they finally start to respect and actually care about people is when I will fight for the Courtney of Canada rather then just against the invading force. As remember. You can fight against something without fighting for something.

Exactly why the fuck would I die for Canada? Like what has it honestly given me that I can't point out that it was actually stolen for via taxes? Like everyone says shit like roads and hospitals but the government didn't magic those into existence they paid for it with our extortion money I mean taxes. And what the fuck good is a lot of the shit they "provide us" when they refuse to provide the basics and waste our money on unwinnable wars that go against human nature. War on drugs, war on sex work, war on guns. Endless wars against letting people control themselves and live there life's how they see fit. They'll gladly throw our money at that but you want housing, a job, food, hospitals that don't make you wait forever you know shit you actually need in order to survive. Sorry government can't afford it. Bull fucking shit the sheer amount they waste on these unwinnable wars could easily pay for, or at least heavily subsides these things that it could damn well feed every or almost every Canadian in this nation.
