About the only way I can see any gun rights surviving in this country is if AB and SK tell Dear Leader to FO and they make their own gun laws

Yeah I agree, but WEXIT isn't realistic, Alberta could only survive if it became a US state. Plus it's not as popular as you think here most people are against it. Probably about 30% of the people I know actually want it and are not just memeing
