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.

There’s been a not-so-subtle shift from suspicious accounts here trying to pin the blame on Trump, or on Pierre for not running a good enough campaign. As retarded as some of these takes are, the basic indisputable truth remains:

The Liberals banned your guns. The NDP voted with them to ban the guns and uphold the bans. The Conservatives voted against them.

The Liberals expanded the bans. The NDP voted with them again. The Conservatives voted against them again.

This country is cooked either way at this point, so maybe it doesn’t really matter. But anyone trying to frame any of this as the fault of ANYONE other than Carney, Trudeau, the Liberals, or the NDP is either an abject moron or letting their worldview/ideology seep into their posts.

They’re lying to you. They’re spreading subtle propaganda.

Not that it matters, but don’t fall for it.

I know it’s the fault of the Liberals and NDP. I also know the conservatives were a shoe in to form the next government until Trump brought up the 51st state shit. Then the liberals rebounded in the polls. It’s pretty safe to put blame on him

if that's all it takes, then all blame lies with the voter base

Disagree - it does, but it fails to retain them and has failed to do so for decades

That’s a fair point
