The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Jarnhamar]

A pretty classless protest against the PS minister today at the Almonte Gun Show.

Could be some classless firearm owners.

Or, maybe some classless people who don't own firearms.

It a gun show. There won't be any liberals there to get offended.

You are 100% wrong. I voted liberal, hold socially liberal views, and go to every gun show in the Medicine Hat area as well as the regular visits to range.
Maybe if you didn't try to constantly piss off people like me life wouldn't be so hard for you.

I lean more conservative, but this crap pushes me away too.

Where I come from, being respectful is the baseline for communication. If people are disrespectful, they aren't taken seriously. This sort of behaviour, ignored or supported by the firearms community at large, just makes the gun grabbers jobs easier.

Are you referring to the "Don't tread on me" with the rattlesnake in the USA? The flag (or mantra in general) associated with rednecks, hillbillies, those sort of people? I guess it gets results, but we are a country based on civility and righteousness and liberalism (as in the sense of Neoliberalism, not the liberal party)...
When I think of these types of people, I think of the clip of the libertarian talking about how the government wants to make a license to put toast in your own damn toaster

Even in a civil society there needs to be red lines drawn somewhere, it is very important there is. You want to know how that civil society came to exist? It was through a few civil wars to curtail the powers of the king and enforce the rights of the citizenry.

They don’t like reminding the public of that last part though.

Stop. You're going to fracture his fragile world view.

The reason people fought in those wars is because they were legitimate. Not because they were powerful, but because they were legitimate. Paine writes about this in Common Sense.
Nobody would want to support people who act like "don't tread on me." There was a moral high ground that is usually had when a civil war happens, case in point, the American Revolution. They were increadibly charismatic gentleman, not people who piss on pieces of paper.

It's an attempt to try an get you to engage in the actual premise rather than getting lost in the us vs them rage.

I'll boil it down- is there any off ramp, any compromise, that you would find palatable other than a full rollback to 2019?

There is no such thing as compromise on this file. It's only ever increasing restrictions. Their isn't one restrictions that has ever been walked back under a Liberal Govt with respect to gun laws in this Country. Mass non-compliance and civil disobedience is the best method of getting Govt to walk back any sort of anarcho-tyrannical laws they may feel like introducing from time to time.

I say that because we have ample examples to draw from and it's a proven method:

#MeToo
#OccupyWallStreet
#FreedomConvoy

Did you know more people have died in Canada from sticking things in their butt than from AR15s?

I think I'll go watch Brüno again... this comment made me think of that film...

A pretty classless protest against the PS minister today at the Almonte Gun Show. No matter how much you dislike the guy, he's trying to do the job he's paid to do. That's he's failing miserably is another issue. But this is not on, particularly at a public event where children may be present.

Meah.

Really, it could be a lot worse.

Does it push you away when Conservatives commit crime as well?
