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.

I am so disheartened with everything in the Canadian fire arms space. I have been waiting a year for my license. All the ones I wanted on gunpost or tenda have long sold. Its annoying knowing if I lived a few hours south I would be rolling a long time ago

And yet your life is no different in any meaningful capacity.

Almost as if you should probably focus on other things.

Like what? Not being able to afford a home? Struggling to keep up with the ever increasing cost of living? Like what should this person be focusing on instead?

That he has his license and there are plenty of firearms out there?

Instead of just being addicted to negativity

u/Natural_Comparison21 Aug 10 '26

Did you actually read the comment? He doesn’t have his license. He’s been waiting for over a year.

Addicted to negativity or know the reality of the situation.

I'm telling you to stop focusing on the negative.

u/Natural_Comparison21 Aug 10 '26
