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.

Sounds like you're letting them win. You're 1st and 2nd point are valid but your 3rd is just paranoia and the 4th is something we'll all deal with together! Letting them get you down is Letting them win!

It's mostly the 3rd point that I'm paranoid with, yeah. It shouldn't be like this. That's why I'm just going to take a break for a while. Need to stop reading all the negative stuff online.

Do you live in a somewhat sketchy area or something? I only ask because while I’m aware the possibility is there I have never worried about this for more than a few seconds.

We all have different situations too I live in a small town with a family so my wife or someone is always at the house and there are half a dozen cameras on the property.

I’ve got a baby and a toddler so I’m having a hard time finding time to reload and shoot now but it seems to be common with alot of the guys I used to shoot all the time with and they didn’t just have kids.

I'm in the greater Montreal area. It's relatively safe, but crime has been going up.
