Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

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.

who the fuck is giving him a free pass???

all I said is he knew about guns and might have been ambivalent about them but had to toe the party line which, is of course, hypocritical.

Is it a habit of yours to put words into peoples mouth?

By saying he was ambivalent and that it was the party line that supposedly changed his behavior. That's shifting the blame, we like to call that a free pass.

The party line is a free out when he was at the head of the ship, the leader helps dictate the party line.

Its got the same energy as the usual "Oh yeah he wasn't so bad, he was just following orders".

Please, let's be honest with each other here and not try to paint a pig and call it something else.

Its revisionist to try paint him as such when he is directly responsible for the pickle we're in.

Nope. I'm just calling out your absolutely silly take.

Trudeau was never a friend to firearms. Just like a lot of people on this sub, they may own or have operated firearms but they're certainly not helping.

There it is. Personal attacks instead of responding to the point at hand.
