The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[QV]

This is a pretty big Liberal and progressive win, no?

I see this as just one step. A next step could be to ban certain kinds of vehicles to the general masses. Unless you have a demonstrated business need, no gas guzzling pick-up truck for you - buy this Chinese made EV instead. Climate crisis and all.

I definitely think they believe vehicle restrictions are in the future.

Depends if you think restrictions on gun ownership is progressive (I don't), whether you think restricting gun ownership is a 'small L' liberal foundational policy (I don't), and whether you think restricting gun ownership is a "healthy" policy for the "big L" Liberals (I don't). The only way this is a win is purely of the basis of "we said we'd do it and we did it". Regardless, what's it have to do with me and whether or not *I" am embarrassed?

its not progressive but it might appeal to the "progressive" wing of the party
I dont see how only apportioning enough money for 10% of the registered restricted firearms is a policy win

When you make the others suffer it's a policy win.

That's how the LPC sees it.

Well, do you think Americans who voted for Trump should be embarassed?

Well long term restrictions on new light ICE vehicles are still on. I dont think they will be necessary but...

Fully agree.

Yes and if you live in an urban area you may be told to use the fine public transportation the generous government has instituted.

Or if you are privileged the generous government of the people may give you a fine bicycle!!

Hope for a spring election and a populace that finally recognises the liberals want to steal our country. Once that happens, all the resources they put out of reach, will be raped to increase the coffers of the junta and leave the peons in poverty.

Just got mine. They are basically sending it out to everyone with a PAL. Now I have to decide if I'll declare 27 former restricted now prohib. If I'm lucky I'll may recoup 40%.and be left with a boatload of optics, parts, mags, tools etc etc that I can't use. Ain't life grand.

Ah. I see what you're getting at. I think EVERY American should be embarrassed by the behaviour of their president, but I think they (again all Americans) should be angry with his policies.

More specifically, you're asking should Americans who voted for Trump be embarrassed because he is enacting policies that seem counterproductive, damaging, or down right stupid. But, you're using this as a metaphor to ask whether Liberal voters should be embarrassed because the Liberals have now enacted (or rather, are pushing through with) a policy that they should view as stupid, unhelpful, or downright counterproductive.

Firstly, I don't think anyone should be "embarrassed". Pissed off, sure, but not "embarrassed". Second, not everyone "should"; why would they? For plenty of Liberals, this policy makes perfect sense; they WANT less access to guns. Even those Liberal voters who are pro-Gun may be nothing more than ambivalent.

Still not sure what this has to do with me.

if they were formerly restricted shouldnt they already know about them?
