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.
