Misc American here with a few questions

I'm not trying to gloat or anything like that, just genuinely curious about Canadians and how they're feeling about guns, gun rights, and gun purchases. You guys were clearly given the shaft when it comes to guns.

Question 1: I see a lot of comments here passing up on $900 SKS's or Carmel's because they're a ripoff. Why not spend a little extra to get your hands on a semi-automatic rifle since the vast majority of them are banned? I feel like I would if I were in your shoes. 22's are just cope imo.

Question 2: how sacred are guns to the average user here?

Question 3: how is morale? Do you guys have hope for the future? If a conservative PM wins, do you think he'll unban a lot of shit?

  1. People are different. The guns are important for the hunters, rural folks, rare enthusiast, and the average metro Canadian doesn’t have/need one.
  2. Our conservatives are pro-maga, incompetent people who I hope stay in opposition forever. We had a shitty government before that played with leftist and Quebec anti-gun lobby but now they are gone. We have centrist government in power, pragmatic and patriotic. Still, anti-Canadian forces (including china, usa, russia) are trying to influence the simple-minded people and create this opposition to the government. But you can see that Carney still has a lot of support and more and more ex-conservatives are now turned to liberal party.

You are why Canadians have gun bans. Provost is a MP and you think this government isn't in bed with the same anti gun lobbyists? Everyday I come on this subreddit I know Canadian firearm ownership will die a slow death.
