All the deletions and bans make me more uncomfortable about participating here. Not because I would get booted but because I don't think invalidating others to make a community seem less like the people opposed to you will use as ammo against you will help. It just emboldens those opposed to private ownership to take more away as they see less resistance. Never apologize. Never appear reasonable to their demands. All it's done is make things worse for everyone. I'm sick of it.

Eh, the mods are super reasonable here.. it's not like you get insta-mercd for going against the groupthink, just don't outwardly say things illegal, the things that get the entire subreddit shutdown. Obv the mods/admins will act on certain comments.

It's also not at all conductive to legally owning a gun in Canada to, quote "Never apologize. Never appear reasonable." That's going to get your gun taken in a country where those people trusting you with it is your only legal basis to own one.

This subreddit isn't unwise to push it out if it knows Canadians other than owners are here watching for the kind of rebellious attitude Canadian gun laws were written to curb when they start rattling guns as an alterative to law enforcement.
