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.

These nincompoops could use the buyback money to hire some more personnel in the caf so my application wouldn't take Soo long, like holy shit guys, the amount of time, information and bullshit I'm having to go through I'm thinking I'm not gonna join anymore, all this to die for Israel, no thanks youd think with all the caf shortages they'd make the hiring process easier and faster PS-- IF U THINK getting a pal is a long process apply to the caf

I have heard some really funny stories on how long it's taken for people to apply to the CAF. Anywhere from 6 months at the short end to like sometimes only getting a offer 2 years later or other ridiculous time frames. Which by that point people have moved on with life.

I shudder to think about the quality of the CAF after they’ve relaxed every single standard they had to boost numbers.

Which is hilarious as that’s not what even the issue was. The issue was getting through a massive backlog. Which they only made worse by relaxing requirements.
