The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Maxman1]

I find that site very difficult to peruse. I like its EE and some of the stuff in the MILSURP sections, but as much as I can empathize with the situation it can get very vile and combative.

I used to be a lot more active there, but I've stepped back in recent years, mostly perusing the news and images sections.

I swear, it seems every thread about Ukraine brings the tankies out of the woodwork.

CGN is an absolute cesspit of conspiracy thinking, and wackjob views of pretty much everything.

I poked into the OIC ban sub-forum, and regret wasting my time there.

There are users there convinced the government is sending in plants to ask questions about the buy-back, to encourage others to participate. Ignoring the reality that it's likely just people not terminally online who found the forum in a Google search, and have genuine questions.

If you ever want arguments in support of banning all firearms ownership in Canada, just spend a day on CGN...

If I was the RCMP and the LPC and I hated gun owning Canadians, I would put like minded officers in there.

Gathering Int, sure. I'm guessing they did it with far more sophistication than the random guy popping in and asking what everybody is doing with their prohibs, seeing the vitriol sent their way, then peacing out.

Chances are, if the RCMP or others are on CGN, they are the under the radar guys who go-along-to-get-along and see what people are saying.

I suspect they would be more like me. Have an account, don't say much and just observe.

There are two threads I like Milsurp Pic of the day and From the mind of bubba.

I do tend to get sucked into Enfield and Martini discussions. But those are more people like myself who are wood and iron purists. Almost no politics.

For me it’s the women in leather clothing thread (granted, I did start that thread).

Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about

See, its remarks like that that make me give you side eye. I am not sure what the intent is behind that.

I'm confused why you're confused. Tim Houston is the best Premier I've ever lived under (IMO). I'm regularly impressed by him and hope he governs NS for a long time.

Yet, the Minister still believes that the program can continue apace, by enlisting off-duty and retired police officers to run mobile collection units. despite the overwhelming opposition to it.

Question for the field.

If Carneybowed to the weight of not being able to implement the buyback and off ramped by grandfathering all 2500+ models as a special class firearm that is prohib unless registered by Oct 31 2026, in which case

• they function as NR's for use/storage/transport etc. with the caveat that
  • they are not eligible for PAL to PAL transfer, loan, consignment etc. BUT
    • Can be surrendered at any point in the next ten years for the listed compensation + CPI (guaranteed)

And does the above via OIC protected legislation so that the registration can't be used for a regulatory rug pull without an act of parliament

Would you register?

Nice try, CFP.

There will be no off-ramps. This is a no-fail project driven by the need to protect the LPC center of gravity in QC. The PS minister-in-waiting will not allow the government to walk this back in any form. See my post above where the current PS minister has tripled-down on "making this work".

What has the LPC done on this file leads you to believe guns owners would trust a single thing coming out of their mouths?

The former prime minister and p
ublic safety minister got caught flat out lying.

This public safety minister got caught calling out the program for being a bullshit bone for the french. And they short changed their own compensation program after already short changing it.

Jeepers lol

Change the who then. Make it a CPC proposal to try and find a compromise that protects current gun owners without tanking the next election.
