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.

Unless I’ve been huffing too much Hoppes, no sporting goods, firearms, or ammunition listed on our new counter tariffs

I just hope trump can hurt the feds coffers so much that they simply cannot afford to keep the confiscation going. Even though most of the pick ups and destructions are done now if they can’t spend more money that would be good. Especially if the Supreme Court orders them to pay compensation to every single gun owner in turn for upholding the OICs

It's a key vote buying project. They'd find a way to fund it if the federal coffers were down to the last five dollar bill.

Especially if the Supreme Court orders them to pay compensation to every single gun owner

Been hitting the pipe, have we

Not sure, they don’t seem to have even remotely enough money to honestly compensate people

Don’t kid yourself, this is Canada. The worst will always happen. 

Libs will print a zillion dollars and keep funding all this BS. You’ll have no guns and be even poorer.

While we wont be directly affected at a glance(I only skimmed the document), tariffs and going dollar for dollar will increase costs across the board because they affect cost of living.

So while you're technically correct, I suspect we'll still end up paying more, one way or another.
