I’m in Vancouver. Since the handgun freeze a dude with a sword stabbed a guy at a gas station, another dude stabbed someone to death in their house and a third guy robbed a bunch of businesses with a knife.

People who don’t own pals are all pro gun control until they realize we have PLENTY of gun control.

They’re still scared shitless of someone breaking into their house or randomly assaulting them.

They’ve done experiments in the states where they have high risk men living wage jobs and guess what. They put their handguns down.

We gotta demand we divert the money from this c21 bs and back into the communities where these criminalized and high risk people live and support them

a dude with a sword stabbed a guy at a gas station

Gas really does cost an arm and a leg now.

I'm sure they would be very receptive to that, if the objective of the legislation was to impact gun violence and not to disarm the serfs.

I'm more concerned about the pack of roving tweakers out in the sticks LoL

Their newest game is to come to your house around 4am, knock, and if no one answers... attempt to kick the door in

It's all fuckin catch & release with the cops/justice system too

This is absolutely part of the message we should be using with our friends and family.

All my friends - left or right - are sick of the crime and mental illness they see on the street.

But the Liberals want to divert money and resources that could be better used addressing these issues in order to distract away from their inability to deal with it.
