Felt today would be a fitting day to take out my 1976 Ruger Blackhawk.

Lol. Go smoke a joint in front of an american cop and then tell me about their "freedoms".

That is illegal in Quebec, Manitoba, Sask too isn't it?

That was legalized recreationally at a federal level in 2018.

Public consumption of cannabis varies by province although enforcement is another thing. You can also use cannabis recreationally in several US states.

It's 100% legal, recreationally, from coast to coast in Canada. In some states you can still do prison time for a joint.

Quebec: Prohibition against smoking or vaping cannabis in all indoor or outdoor spaces that are open to the public, including public roads.

Sask: Consuming cannabis in public places is prohibited for public health considerations.

That's still the rules pretty much everywhere. Same with alcohol. You're not supposed to just stand around town getting fucked up. That's not what we're talking about here. Cannabis. As a product. To be consumed recreationally. Is legal to possess.

There are some states where having a few crumbs of pot in the bottom of an old tin in the trunk of your car is enough to be charged with possession of a controlled substance, and put in prison.

And there are some states where you get recreational cannabis, constitutional carry, and ARs...

u/Response-Cheap 19d ago

Yeah, and there are no provinces where you can be thrown in jail for having a personal amount of a plant in your pocket..

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

And there are 10 provinces and 3 territories where you can't buy an AR or a handgun.

No idea. I do know people are spending decades in prison for weed possession in the states. And then being denied their right to buy guns.

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

It is. Same in Calgary although enforcement is rare. I will agree with you cannabis should be legal in the US but I'd take ARs and handguns over cannabis any day.

Its not just about weed. Its about the US having systems to fuck over people for the rest of their lives for piddly shit like weed. And theyre proud of it. It is a second world country and their lack of gun laws is one of the many examples.

More Canadians move to America than Americans to Canada. Just because you hate America doesn't mean everyone else does. Enjoy the slow erosion of your "privilege" to own a firearm.

People move to the states for money. Not for higher odds of getting shot.

Guns aint freedom.

"Guns aint freedom."

That's just your opinion and I don't share it. I do know having your firearms confiscated under threats of prison certainly isn't freedom. Your attitude is exactly why Canadian firearm owners are in the position they are in now. If you treat it as a privilege the government will too and will slowly restrict it to nothing.

Its not an opinion. Guns aint freedom.
