Trump hectored the "great people of Canada" Monday morning, encouraging them to cede their borders and make HIM their president by becoming the 51st state.
We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence.
Thinking you’ll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.
And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world,
Their tech is pretty advanced I’ll give you that, but i sure as hell know if people had more access to firearms we could actually have a chance to defend ourselves from such a threat.
Our military is a joke technology & armoury wise, simple and plain, the more people who stand to defend the better.

This is where we differ, I fully believe South Korea has the right idea to train all their children in CQB and to safely handle firearms given how close North Korea is.
The same should apply to Canadians, we have a potential threat down south and a small handful of people actually know what they’re doing.

I 100% agree however, I don’t think we’ll ever see this in our lifetime with another Liberal leader.

A couple hours at the range is better than no hours at the range.
Yeah… nah. I don’t want school shootings as a trade off to a hypothetical American invasion, plus, pp would fucking bend over and spread to trump. A handgun or a 30 round mag won’t make a difference.

So hypothetical school shootings are better eh? Keep in mind I’m not pushing for the Canadian version of the 4th amendment, as you see in another one of my comments I encourage proper safety training beforehand.
I do want to say, there are many things about our fire arm laws that are absurd. I’m sure there is some common ground there. The fact that I can’t have a suppressor is stupid. And the OIC was poorly done and, to be frank idiotic.
I appreciate your candour to the situation, I respectfully disagree with your other comment and believe the privilege is being slowly taken away from us, so yes I think we’re being targeted, at this point it’s too late to argue and all I can do is hope they rethink the buyback program.
So glad I bought a 22lr Kriss Vector for them to ban it days later, now I can go and have it disabled so I don’t have to sell it.
Majority of our gun related crime comes from illegally smuggled firearms from the US
hey, quick question, what does the US have? Higher capacity magazines right? More fire arms too… now instead of them being smuggled they can be locally sourced?
Firearms are a privilege, not a right. We are not being " targeted". The answer to gun crime is to remove the root cause. But having high capacity magazines, and hand guns more available will lead to more gun violence…
I’m actually kind of glad to see this. Should drive turnout for Carney.
I can’t think of a more helpful thing he could have said.
Ah yes another liberal who’ll fail to defend our countries borders, another Trudeau but this time with pizzaz.
If there ever is a war with the US I sure as shit want access to real firearms, none of this 3 rounds per mag headache we got now.
And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?

You misunderstand.
Yes, one Canadian with an assault rifle can’t do much against 5 American drones.
But one Canadian with an assault rifle can do much against 5 off-duty American soldiers relaxing in a restaurant.

No? Having more, higher capacity weapons will lead to more shootings.
The data is already there, RCMP chiefs across the country endorse it, targeting licensed firearms owners is not the answer to solve gun crime.

You’re not wrong.
And, I appreciate your sentiment on the matter, I don’t feel like it’s an attack, but I understood how you could.
As for the Vector, I was taking a look at the list and skimmed over it, I thought it was only the centerfire version that were affected.
Them banning the M1 carbine was really fucking stupid too.
