The RCMP report authors warn that whatever Canada’s current situation, it "will probably deteriorate further in the next five years."

Reading things like this makes it make sense as to why the government is putting big efforts into reducing legal gun ownership (and the type of guns targeted, ex. 50 cal rifles) instead of going after criminals and makes sense of things like the Online Harms Bill… The elites are trying to prevent a repeat of 1789 France or 1917 Russia.

    The funny thing about the polls on guns is polls that have asked about the respondents knowledge indicate that the more educated one is about our gun laws, the less likely they are to support bans.

    This is a huge strawman. You can’t just say “of the 20 people I’ve spoken with, trust me, the more they own know about firearms, the less they want bans!”

    I have my PAL and I think we should ban just about everything that isn’t a shotgun or hunting rifle. 78% of Canadians don’t even own a firearm, I get it’s your fun hobby, but you’re not playing with toy trains, you’re using things designed to kill people. I straight up don’t trust the average person to not kill people with it, and I’m not in the minority there.
