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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winfield_massacre Just a reminder to anyone who thinks that a mass shooting requires a perp to use a 'modern firearm'. Keep in mind in America the average mass shooting kills under 4 people. This shooting is on par with some of the deadlist mass shootings in modern American history https://www.statista.com/statistics/476101/worst-mass-shootings-in-the-us/?srsltid=AfmBOooVx4C23ejGX6JiwdfQJu4YP5FR5vT8Se33XcABgu52jOkNXOve. Keep in mind if you added shootings going back before this you will find only two shootings in the 70s in America which were responsible for killing more people, 1 in the 60s, zero in the 50s and only two in the 40s. Which one of the shootings in the 40s the perp literally used a .22 LR semi auto rifle.
The point of this? To remind everyone here that it doesn't matter what firearm someone uses. Which I know preaching to the choir this is more so just for you to have a source to back up your claim.
