You're out of your lane and don't know what you're talking about.
I'm not a kid but I will conceed that I know very little about guns.
You're stating the obvious. Which is probably why you keep talking about automatic weapons, but can't cite a single case where one has been used.
I think hunters and people who need rifles for farm duties and the like should be able to have as many rifles as they want.
And why not pistols for those times when their hands are full of tools, or they're tending the herd, and the rifle becomes cumbersome and out of reach. What do they do when that griz tops the ridge at 25 miles an hour? Should they not have the option of carrying a pistol as their forefathers did, for the same purpose?
We are not American. The right to bear arms is not a part of our constitution.
No, but my right to security of person, and my right against unwarranted search IS guaranteed under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Life, liberty and security of person
7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
Search or seizure
8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.
Unless you give every person in Canada their own personal security team, in order to fulfill section 7, everyone MUST be given the option to protect themselves.
Currently, the Ontario gov't has broken section 8 innumerable times, by forcing inspections, without warrants, on law abiding citizens to do firearms checks. These inspections are not removing guns from the street. Meanwhile, the gang banger, drug dealer gets off because the liberal judges won't issue a warrant.......which is required to search said drug dealer's abode. If the cops bust the guy, he gets off on a charter challenge. Tossed by the same judges that won't issue the warrants. Should they catch the guy cold and arrest him, the courts give him bail, to continue shooting and dealing until his case comes up.
If the court is going to let these thugs wander the street, armed and dealing. I'm entitled to defend myself against this garbage. If he's going to use a gun, I should be able to as well, and I'm a damn sight more proficient than most of this trash.
Stopping the legal manufacture of firearms will not stop the proliferation of illegal ones on the street. It is simply to easy to make a firearm. As we all know, if there is a market, someone will fill it.
