Canada

Canada already has good gun control. We've had it for decades. Very, very few lawful gun owners commit crimes with their guns.

The last government has been great at announcing ever longer lists of guns to ban but has yet to seize a single one. The list gets longer, the date it takes effect keeps getting pushed out too.

Focus on the source of guns used in crimes: our neighbors to the south. Performative bans of experimental guns and historic rifles makes no one safer.

Why trust government employees to be the only people with guns? They kill people too and justify their killings with politics like "war" or "crime prevention" as if they have an acceptable perspective that allows for the death of other humans. Gun control needs to go both ways and they should stop taking guns from citizens until they are willing to disarm themselves.

I hope that if they go ahead with changing the laws surrounding guns, they do so in a clearcut easy to understand manner. I feel like anytime gun laws in Canada are up for reworking they really sensationalise it and it never really accounts to anything different.

Like one concern I had about the past is what about replica fire arms that are airguns, do they fall under this categorisation? It would be nice to have it be clear and easy to understand.

I say this also as someone who has always been around guns, and has had a passing interest in the hobby.

I also have very complex feelings about weapons for self defense. Like it really is true that an armed minority group is harder to oppress. However, I dont think its okay for a functional society to just have everyone walking around strapped all the time. Ugh.

This is annoyingly complex, and nuanced and I wish I could just go "Yay! They're taking dangerous things off the streets"

Carney had one simple job to earn my vote, stop this ridiculous ideologically driven hatred of legal gun owners by the liberal party. He chose otherwise.

Guess I’ll waste my ballot or worse vote CPC. As a white upper middle class male with savings I won’t suffer any of the fallout of a CPC win and honestly why should I care about people who use me as a wedge issue and vote to take away my property due to ignorance of the current laws. Fuck em and if they suffer some consequences then maybe they’ll reflect on that.

Ban those useless guns as they only lead to senseless violence.
