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.

I agree, people saying that "things are going to get better" or that "things aren't that bad" are coping hard

Maybe I'm too doomerpilled, but that naive optimism is nauseating
