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.

1 cop dead in a shooting in Montreal, 3 others wounded. I don’t get it, once the buyback is complete all these shooting will stop right 🤔 s/

All that said I think it’s still too much of a logistics nightmare to actually ban. It’ll get memory holed just like tumbler ridge.

IMO the carney government doesn’t really have their hearts in this whole public safety thing.

They’re cutting public safety jobs, environmental protections, and social programs that would actually help more people than their gun control portfolio ever would. They could’ve reduced operational spending in other areas (like scrapping the buyback) but they didn’t, so I don’t think they give a rat’s booty cheeks about us, our safety or wellbeing, or about stopping tragedies like this.
