Not to mention all the instant information has resulted in a lack of attention span and the ability to critically think. I watched a interesting video where they were talking about in the future what shall be the determining factor in success won’t be income or where you came from, family money...

There is a reason why Republicans and Democrats didn’t want it released. The push to release only came once one side decided that the benefit was greater than the cost.

Quebec opened fire when they unilaterally amended the constitution illegally (and no one had the balls to stand up to them). Besides this is parliamentary sovereignty, just a higher level than the Provincial. If the NWC is fair game, so is disallowance.

I would love to see it. I would also call for it to be used on every NWC law in effect, not just AB and SK. Rights are rights, setting the precedent of protecting them isn’t a bad thing.

Up until 1978 you could buy full autos. That is parity with what we were issuing (you could even buy directly from Canadian Arsenals a brand new C1 or C2 if you wished). A gun is a gun. If your going to do harm with it whether its a full auto, shotgun, or bolt action it changes nothing. It is...

The levels of control we have now are the divergence from the norm. Not the other way around.

Civilian ownership begins well before the 30s. It starts with everyone being armed in the early years (with such arms being suitable for military usage in the time frame) and it is only in the last 50 years has parity been lost between civilians and the military. What has changed isn’t how...

They are unpleasant because they are willing to sell out everyone else to protect ‘their’ interests. It is like someone who is very religious and believes that their religion is the only option and everyone else deserves to rot in hell and is vocal on it. Vocal on it to the point of...

I think your ignoring the surplus bonanza of the era, the catalogs of what was available was huge. This myth that Canada only had ‘hunting’ rifles and such kicking around is a myth. Canada has alway had a fairly martially armed population. Just what is martial arms has changed. That bolt...

Firearms ownership falls into 4 main uses (in no particular order, all are valid). 1) Hunting 2) Self defence 3) Collecting 4) Sport shooting One of those tools that you would rather have and not need than need and not have. Besides in a free and democratic society the onus isn’t on me to...

You do understand they banned over 2500 models of firearms in the last 5 years regardless of where they should fall based off technical characteristics? You do understand they basically rewrote the law without having to do so thanks to the OiC exemption? How you can even believe the law has...

You call it a fallacy, yet it is not. It is only a fallacy when you over exaggerate the end result, which based off the evidence provided we are not. In Canada we are on the slippery slope argument, which can be proven through the continued and repeated attacks against legal firearms ownership...

You would think that some entrepreneurial Americans would tighten the standards they make their product to. It would allow them to take advantage of not hitting the current quota and in true capitalistic form allow them to make more money in a more limited market than their competitors. Instead...

Remember a government which admits it has committed genocide believes it is important to disarm you because they always have your personal best interests at heart and wouldn’t ever do anything to compromise that… again

America is around 40% of households. So is it the 10% more which makes a difference or is it socio-economic-cultural factors? I put money on the second.

Explosives are very different than firearms. Again area vs personal. Even a machine gun is a personal level weapon. Area is a valid determinant as you cannot use a explosive in any way without doing serious damage to every thing around it, there is a lack of control which makes it completely...

I disagree with that whole law. I see it as unnecessary as the State stepping into what is and isn’t legal to say and think. That always concerns me as it never stops when you think it will. Our laws on the books already cover basically everything they want covered in said law. We just don’t...

This is also ignoring that Islamophobia is also up and resulting in attacks as well. Pretending it is only anti-semitism on the rise and only the Jews are being attacked is disingenuous. Both groups have received a increase in discrimination since the Oct 7th attack in 2023. Both groups have...

It is almost as though restricting management to under 20% of the population isn’t a good thing for getting the most competent people in positions of power. We are building a CAF and public service which isn’t reflective of Canadian society.

You can’t just disregard Switzerland because the data isn’t in your favour. Again literal military rifles in most households (the exact types already banned because it is ‘too dangerous’) and yet the crime doesn’t match. We aren’t the States, so trying to use the most extreme example to push...
