They can ban all the legal guns they want. They can ban legal gun ownership if they want and people will still be gunned down in the streets of Canadian cities on a daily basis as if nothing happened.

The amount of energy, breath and screen time that is being absolutely wasted on trying to push this stupid fucking narrative is what’s most frustrating. Innocent people are being caught in the crossfire of gang wars or being targeted directly by people who have absolutely no regard or respect for human life. The common denominator? None of these people have licenses. None of these people are allowed to own guns and in most cases *already* have lifetime bans on them.

The people who are the real problem keep getting released on lowball bail and they’re collecting charges and indictments like Xbox achievements and still you get meatballs who still push the whole “legal guns are bad” schtick.

At this point blaming legal firearms makes you look stupid. When everything is gone what will you blame? What will you tell the families of victims? Will you finally admit that criminals don’t give a fuck about bans and go after them? That would be a tacit admission that you wasted years, untold amounts of money and breath just fucking around while people get killed.

God I can’t stand this shit.

Since they started prohibiting specific models of firearms and froze handguns, shootings have actually gone up a fair amount IIRC

It's almost like banning legal guns emboldens criminals or something!

You are giving criminals too much credit my dude.

Banning guns didn't "embolden" anyone. Crime has been on the rise across the board and its not like your average street hood was worried about legal firearm owners in the first place, given how restricted those same owners are in terms of self defense.

Farmer Fred still has his 12 gauge by the door, just the same as he did for the last 40 years and just the same as he will until the day he dies. Nothing changed there
