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.

On a political note, it’s legitimately wild how bad Conservative Party derangement symptom is in this county. Now the report came out that LPC want to track down and sue people for “misinformation” and all you see is

“Well the CPC will do worse” and my favorite “the CPC will use this to make trans people disappear, watch them go away”

…..the LPC enacted this, they’re pushing this and they’re wanting this done. Like we’re actually at the point of Canadians electing full on authoritarian fascists and voters proudly proclaiming “nuh uh, pp is worse” while fully losing their freedoms.

We’re actually entering a death spiral with these voters…..Alberta needs to separate and I’m from Ontario lol!

Credit where it's due, it's an absolute masterstroke in media manipulation and perception management by the Liberals.

They've convinced their base (and others) that the opposition is always the bad guy which justifies all their bad behavior.

Like, look at any of those threads and filter people who go "what about PP" or "the cons would do it". It's easier to blame a hypothetical boogeyman than to address the real problem, they voted these people in.

Like the whole misinformation thing is crazy because who decides the misinformation? We know as gun owners that the government has zero issues spreading literal lies on their stuff including randomly reclassifying stuff and using their choice of description (assault style lol).

Hell remember when being gay meant you were unfit to be in the military and the government had a whole thing about spreading sickness and moral panic. They buried that really nicely though.

Anyone who voted for the liberals at this point absolutely must know what they're doing or choosing to be ignorant. It can't be just vibes and trump bad die for a decade+.
