    Yeah… nah. I don’t want school shootings as a trade off to a hypothetical American invasion, plus, pp would fucking bend over and spread to trump. A handgun or a 30 round mag won’t make a difference.

      So hypothetical school shootings are better eh? Keep in mind I’m not pushing for the Canadian version of the 4th amendment, as you see in another one of my comments I encourage proper safety training beforehand.

          The data is already there, RCMP chiefs across the country endorse it, targeting licensed firearms owners is not the answer to solve gun crime.

          Majority of our gun related crime comes from illegally smuggled firearms from the US.

            I do want to say, there are many things about our fire arm laws that are absurd. I’m sure there is some common ground there. The fact that I can’t have a suppressor is stupid. And the OIC was poorly done and, to be frank idiotic.

              I appreciate your candour to the situation, I respectfully disagree with your other comment and believe the privilege is being slowly taken away from us, so yes I think we’re being targeted, at this point it’s too late to argue and all I can do is hope they rethink the buyback program.

              So glad I bought a 22lr Kriss Vector for them to ban it days later, now I can go and have it disabled so I don’t have to sell it.

                You’re not wrong.

                And, I appreciate your sentiment on the matter, I don’t feel like it’s an attack, but I understood how you could.

                As for the Vector, I was taking a look at the list and skimmed over it, I thought it was only the centerfire version that were affected.

                Them banning the M1 carbine was really fucking stupid too.

            hey, quick question, what does the US have? Higher capacity magazines right? More fire arms too… now instead of them being smuggled they can be locally sourced?

            Firearms are a privilege, not a right. We are not being " targeted". The answer to gun crime is to remove the root cause. But having high capacity magazines, and hand guns more available will lead to more gun violence…
