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.

Something something I miss guns something boomers bad something something no hope and despair for me

Guys my heart isnt in it anymore, not just the fight for guns but for anything. Its just come to my realization today that ive downgraded my life expectations from having my partner, working a good job and owning a house(and lots of guns), to just good job and house ownership (and some guns) to good job (and guns) to now all I want to do is be able to go to one grocery store and pick up all my regular foods and  ingredients without needing to calculate and evaluate everything making sure im being optimized with my money and make it to the end of the month, feel like im playing a fucking paradox game with the amount of bullshit balancing and micromanaging i need to do.

 I went from having dreams and aspirations for the future to "current objective: survive". Which is currently failing.

I fucking hate anyone and everyone who tries to pretend this current situation is good, or even worse actually believes it.

The biggest battles are the ones you face against yourself.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
