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.

Yup, the existence of such crimes are always a byproduct of failing socio-economic factors. I could get into what is causing it but that is quite a long story.

But most importantly will the government focus on the root causes? HELL NO

Hell it's not even that difficult to look at the geni index is almost a one to one when it comes to crime last I checked but somehow they'll claim it's the number of guns. But if that was the case why is the nation with the most gun crime per capita Jamacia last I checked a nation that has far from the most guns per capita.
