News / Politics / Activism How Responsible are Fudds for the Current State of Firearms in Canada?

I recently had a discussion with a fellow PAL holder on some of the new exciting rifles that are coming into the country. To summarize his viewpoint in short, it was that no one needed such firearms as they have no use in hunting. It was reminiscent of the democrat argument of “just buy a shotgun”.

In my experience, the younger generation of enthusiasts view firearms in an opposite light of fudds, where firearms are a means of self defense from tyranny in form of government and intruders.

This got me thinking, how responsible are fudds for our current dire circumstances? I feel that most of us had to become political activists in recent years due to necessity whereas fudds choose to be politically complacent or have been convinced that less freedoms are better.

In some part I feel that we as a community actually deserve the hand that has been dealt. Even on our firearm based sub, I see some comments being massively upvoted that promote limiting our freedoms as Canadians or cope comments because it would mean we are superior to the US.

Would it have always turned out like this?
