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

Need some spell check there, buddy. I think you're a bit angry, take a breather. Maybe some range time (just not with an AR cause you're not allowed)

Youre all rhetoric bud.

I'm free to buy an AR or a handgun, you're not.

u/The_King_of_Canada mb 19d ago

Im free to not get shot by an AR or a handgun. Youre not.

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

You don't think there are criminals in Canada with handguns? What an absurd statement.

u/The_King_of_Canada mb 19d ago

Nowhere near the amount the states has. Enough shit arguments already.

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

Still angry today? It is not a shit argument. You cannot buy an AR or a handgun because you are not free to do so and your attitude is exactly why. Enjoy your bolt actions while you can because those will be banned too.

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

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

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

u/Response-Cheap 19d ago

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.

u/Response-Cheap 19d ago

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.

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

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

2

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..

1

u/PrestigiousStatus711 19d ago

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

2

u/Response-Cheap 19d ago

Yeah that sucks, but you can buy a bunch of other guns though. In due time common sense will get back in power, and fix our ancient, mangled, firearms legislation. At least you don't do 5 years in prison for ripping a couple bongs at a party though.

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.

1

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.

u/The_King_of_Canada mb 18d ago

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.

u/The_King_of_Canada mb 18d ago

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

Guns aint freedom.

u/PrestigiousStatus711 18d ago

"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.
