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.

He already has one, but at least he can use the money to upgrade the upholstery, or install a cup holder

In what fantasy would nobody sign up? people participate in buyback schemes even in the US where you literally get a gift card

u/boozefiend3000 Sep 02 '26

Those US buybacks are also actually voluntary. You’re not being forced to do anything in those ones. The people taking part in this one are just scared cowards. He’s right, if everyone man’d up and told the government to get fucked what could they do?

Right, those US buybacks are completely voluntary, and the owners can still shoot their guns, yet people still hand them in and you think there was some prospect of having 0 participation in the Canadian buyback which was infinitely more enticing given that it was paying actual cash, and the guns were effectively paperweights otherwise?

Who knows why they get turned in down there. Inheritance they don’t want? Less hassle than selling to a gun store? But the point is those buybacks don’t affect future use of guns down there. Nothings being permanently lost. Taking part in the buyback up here signals to the government they can get away with this, that down the line they can use this program again when they need to change a political channel and people will comply. Actively helping the government with this program is helping to destroy gun culture in Canada. It’s stupid as fuck to take part in it

Oh it’s even better. Maybe in the past that was the case but a lot of the time the people handing in guns in those buyback programs are the most broken and worn down guns imaginable.

u/TheGracefulCrane Sep 01 '26

Yeah my post yesterday did not go over too well but I think its important info to share anyways

u/WeightedDips95 Sep 02 '26

“Important info to share” you’re literally crippling the cause lmao. Poisoning it from within

u/TheGracefulCrane Sep 02 '26

That fight ended the day Carney won election mate we had one shot at stopping it and we lost. You can resist all the power to you but id take the money over having glorified paperweight in my closet

u/GinnAdvent Sep 02 '26

Carney and Liberal government won't be around forever.

And yes, it's going to be safe queens if the Liberals stay in power.

You can do whatever you want because it's your choice. You can also say what you want because it's your freedom, but you will get down voted because that's part of the reason Liberals can claim they have a "success".

If you just want to share the info, post what happened and don't reply, despite of whatever downvote or comments you get.

Oh the grand scheme of thing, if things do go side way, those "paper weights" I suspect will have some use again.

u/TheGracefulCrane Sep 03 '26
