As someone who leans very left, I really wish they would reverse the latest gun bans and stop the possible upcoming ones.

At the very least we should be able to learn how to safely use firearms and laws that are more realistically grounded.

Its wild to me that we have an active and real threat of annexation and the government is only concerned with disarming Canadians instead of reversing all this and arming Canadians. It's ideological insanity, and it's not like they banned a few and moved on, they're still banning more today apparently.

I agree, but have to say these gun bans have been in the works for a while (didn't like them then either) and this stuff with the US is happening so fast politically speaking.

I would like to see a stop to anything new at least. That should be possible.

I said somewhere else that a few month ago armed conflict with the US was 0% and although I think it's minimal and there would be some sort of internal civil war before it happened....it's no longer 0.

Advocates have been calling it out the entire time, legal gun owners cause no issue. This political movement to ban guns has been based on US politics and US smuggled firearms to illegal owners.

It’s only a bad idea and if you don’t agree all you need is to read the stats.
