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

“Normally, it would be a crime for me to drive this Honda CR-V, but I am able to get around it with the loophole of having a driver’s license”

The government hates this one simple trick🤣

Find out what they're doing to keep you safe!

See this is the whole point of the firearms act.  Technically every gun is banned to civilians until you get a firearms license then you can use.  Same with motor vehicles.  That's the whole point of the gate.  People get bg check, go through a course then take a test to get licensed.  Both are the same paths.  So really the gov has no need to ban any guns further because the act already does.  That's why this whole thing is a complete farce against legal law abiding citizens. Criminals already steal cars to commit crimes without a license but you don't see gov banning vehicles.   But on this issue, all laws and common sense go out the window.

Lets ban Teslas and Mustangs with that way of thinking.

Sport style car.

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.

u/gassy_guy308 13d ago

In a perfect world, they would have all been put in an asylum

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 notes

u/Otherwise_Rub_9515 15d ago

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".

u/mitchumz 15d ago

I keep an extra hot dog in there

u/BritBuc-1 15d ago

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

6

u/SierraRomeoJuliet 15d ago

I see your prewrapped sausage and raise you my tiny bottle of maple syrup

3

u/BritBuc-1 15d ago

If you had pre wrapped bacon, you’d have had me.

2

u/MapleDesperado 14d ago

They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don’t have pre-wrapped bacon.

Can you blame them?

1

u/N-0-M 15d ago

I keep a cylinder in there.

Peanut butter and mushed bananas too.

7

u/dsac 15d ago

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

3

u/MapleDesperado 15d ago

Isn’t the bayonet needed to cook your tactical hot dogs?

4

u/dsac 15d ago

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!

1

u/yummybunnybear 15d ago

The bayonet is for harvesting and making the hot dog. The cleaning rod is for cooking the hot dog.

u/swift_gilford 15d ago

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

PolySeSouvien is a radical extremist organization.

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 15d ago

Those community notes should come with posting suspensions that double in time every time an account gets one.

u/Enough_Challenge7264 15d ago

The truth never stopped the devil from doing evil shit, it won't stop these hags either.

u/Curious_Fail_3723 15d ago

Poly has permanent IBS of the brainpan

u/N-0-M 15d ago

Irritating bitching syndrome

u/Xaxxus 14d ago

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 15d ago

With this logic, we should ban Jeeps, Hummers, and G wagons.

3

u/Nilotaus 14d ago

Hummers I can agree with.

The only time I've seen them off-road was on the Discovery Channel on the Daily Planet show. Since then I have never seen one have mud on the grill & wheels, only accumulated dust at the very most.

Spending like $300 on a full tank of fuel just to haul around groceries & crotch goblins is one hell of a retarded flex.

u/sometimesifeellikean 14d ago

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 15d ago

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.

u/kylethesnail 15d ago

“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.

16

u/Johnsnowookie 15d ago

They get noted so much, X is the last bastion of freedom of speech and truth

4

u/WeightedDips95 15d ago

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. 

5

u/Ritchie_Whyte_III 15d ago

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"

u/Brandon_awarea 15d ago

There aren’t many wins for us but this one is really funny

u/Any-Alternative8228 14d ago

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

u/Medical_Bluejay_7506 13d ago

They are crashing out dropping post after post about the Sks on twitter it’s quite sad.

1

u/Benefit_Waste 13d ago

Wouldn’t poly be considered criminals themselves for trying to take rights away

1

u/black_covfefe_please 12d ago

To be fair, it is Poly who has used a legal loophole to get 1500+ models of firearms banned.

2

u/Medical_Bluejay_7506 12d ago

I wouldn’t say legal but yeah pretty much
