News / Politics / Activism Poly got a community note because of their made up loophole.
The gun grab is falling apart so now they are trying to change the narrative.

Lets ban Teslas and Mustangs with that way of thinking.

Why stop there lets just make all crime illegal that will fix everything.....oh wait it already is and still happens.
No amount of law will stop people from killing each other.

Poly itself is one giant loophole. In a perfect world, they wouldve been labeled as a hate organization decades ago.

Be nice if more of their content was fact checked and had notes on it dispelling some of their BS. Make it even easier for the average person to see they're telling outright lies or spreading misinformation.
Maybe, dare I suggest it, even they stop getting invited to talk because they get recognized as not actually knowing anything and just being victims of trauma that can't (or won't) move on and are taking out their issues on another group.

I'm in the Community Notes program, Poly get noted quite frequently, but the system requires the notes to be marked as helpful by a fairly broad range of other Notes participants.
Most notes on posts languish and never see the light of day - which discourages future efforts to write other notes19
u/Otherwise_Rub_9515 Jul 10 '26
I made an x account just to fact check them....
With nearly 3 million PAL holders I'm not sure how every single social media platform they are on is not absolutely bombarded with hundreds of thousands of people exposing their lies and disinformation.
Must be a canadian thing? Complain about it but not actually do anything?
I literally called poly and spoke to heidi rathjen, called her a liar and told her she's done nothing but spread lies for nearly 40 years.
Come on guys...
I know fighting isn't the Canadian way but let's get on this a bit more.
This sub alone has 85k members.
If 1 in 4 people on this sub steps up that's 20k people fact checking poly and embarassing them further.

The only loophole on an SKS is the trigger guard "loop" and the buttstock trapdoor "hole".

I keep an extra hot dog in there

The Canadian thing to do is keep pre wrapped sausage in there

u/SierraRomeoJuliet Jul 10 '26
I see your prewrapped sausage and raise you my tiny bottle of maple syrup

u/BritBuc-1 Jul 10 '26
If you had pre wrapped bacon, you’d have had me.

u/MapleDesperado Jul 11 '26
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don’t have pre-wrapped bacon.
Can you blame them?

I bought the conversion kit to swap out the bayonet for a tactical hot dog, and modded it to support polish sausages

u/MapleDesperado Jul 10 '26
Isn’t the bayonet needed to cook your tactical hot dogs?

u/dsac Jul 10 '26
i also modded the buttstock trapdoor to fit my tactical extending campfire skewer, and it's got enough room for up to 3 medium marshmallows too!

u/yummybunnybear Jul 10 '26
The bayonet is for harvesting and making the hot dog. The cleaning rod is for cooking the hot dog.

u/swift_gilford Jul 10 '26
To be fair, we should be community noting like all of their posts as well as the Feds.
like.. much much more often to the point where they will know anything they post is going to be corrected

I think it all the time. How do I get in on the government "expert consultant" racket and pass go and collect my millions in taxpayer funds? I guess sell my morals and make a donation to the LPC is the first step

u/EQ1_Deladar Jul 10 '26
Those community notes should come with posting suspensions that double in time every time an account gets one.

Poly gets community notes on almost every one of their posts.
Nothing they say is factual. It’s too bad X doesn’t have a feature that lets people vote to remove posts that are clearly misinformation/lies. Poly wouldn’t have a voice on social media anymore.

u/elmo444555 Jul 10 '26
With this logic, we should ban Jeeps, Hummers, and G wagons.

I was going to say to leave my FJ alone, but I sold it yesterday. Luckily VW's never did anything wrong.

u/kefefs_v2 Jul 10 '26
Crazy how the SKS is legal through a "loophole" when it existed before the laws were written and legislators just chose not to ban it. Poly are top tier clowns. If they think parliament made a mistake in not banning it, they should say that. The fact that they're lying about its status like this should tell anyone that they're operating in bad faith.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
We know it’s a lie but some people deliberately handed the megaphone to them and allowed them to blast their lies nationwide on replay.

u/Johnsnowookie Jul 10 '26
They get noted so much, X is the last bastion of freedom of speech and truth

u/WeightedDips95 Jul 10 '26
Looks like you triggered some leftoid bootlickers with the truth.
There’s a reason all these governments are trying to ban X. They had no issue with it when the Democrats were controlling it and suppressing all sorts of important stories though of course.

u/Ritchie_Whyte_III Jul 10 '26
I don't doubt the members of Poly are 100% convinced that they are doing the right thing.
But people sending their kids to "we will beat the gay away" camps are also 100% convinced they are doing the right thing. People with 38 cats in their homes are also convinced they are doing the right thing.
But as a country we need to be able to say "Eff off"

This is the start of confiscation of your SKS's Canada. Aren't you glad you have your PAL now?

u/Medical_Bluejay_7506 Jul 11 '26
They are crashing out dropping post after post about the Sks on twitter it’s quite sad.

u/Benefit_Waste Jul 12 '26
Wouldn’t poly be considered criminals themselves for trying to take rights away

u/black_covfefe_please Jul 13 '26
To be fair, it is Poly who has used a legal loophole to get 1500+ models of firearms banned.

Yep, to them, being in compliance with the law is a loophole.
