Marxism caused literally of all major problems in the last century (read, hundreds of millions dead) so you dont really have a leg to stand on. Of note is the typical grandeur speech ripe with pseudo intellectualism and metaphor that accompanies any socialists' "opinions", which are just well rehearsed repetitions of tyrants long dead who they probably dont even realize are the ones speaking through them.
Written by a failing law student, I would guess. Have you noticed how all our politicians do is try to make us hate and fear our neighbors? If you look carefully you'll find that the average liberal and conservative have a hell of a lot more in common with each other than they do with anyone that is after their votes. An "us vs. them" ideology might be good to get political support and sell guns, but it isn't going to make the lives of Canadians any better or solve any economic or social issues.
This is a problem with the firearm community. There is far too much infighting in regards to political views.
Being a gun owner does not obligate you to adopt a right wing political agenda like many here feel it should. I want to keep my guns, enjoy them and believe Canadians should have a right to own them.
Just because some of us here disagree with conservative ideology does not make us Trudeau loving anti-gunners, it simply means we disagree on other subjects.
Whoever this law student was clearly wasn’t considering the ramifications of this letter. Clearly it’s pushing stereotypes and is a humorous jab but it alienates the substantial minority of non-conservative gun enthusiasts.
We need to band together under the goal of gun rights, straying away from our main goal into right wing fantastical separatism and hooliganism will split this community and make it weak.

Being opposed to socialism does not make you right wing, it makes you not extreme left. I am opposed to extreme ideology; socialism is an extreme ideology because it inherently means a central organization taking from one group and redistributing it as they see fit. These types of governments are almost exclusively the types to ban personal firearm ownership. Opposing this isnt right wing, it's pro personal freedom which is what used to be the status quo for left and right before the goalposts were shifted drastically to the far left.

socialism is a broad term, universal health care is a socialist idea for example. Insurance is in a sense socialist, paying taxes to fund fire departments is socialist. Socialism doesn’t necessarily mean One party Leninist communist regimes.
In a perfectly implemented laissez faire society you would pay for the services of firefighters putting out a fire in your kitchen, you would pay for doctors to operate or treat unavoidable illness even if it unjustly bankrupts you.
Unchecked capitalism has led to grotesque abuses and manipulations by wealthy executives. Cutting taxes and eliminating social programs (a conservatives wet dream) doesn’t solve poverty, crime, homelessness, mental health issues or the opioid crisis. It literally intensifies every single one of those issues.
I personally don’t believe anyone is free to accumulate as much excessive wealth as they want at the direct expense of plunging others into crisis.

Again, youre arguing points nobody here has claimed. Furthermore your personal beliefs are the only ones i can see here requiring others to take part. My personal beliefs do not require you to be involved or your money. What you describe as "socialism" can also be called taxes, which citizens agree to pay in order to recieve common infrastructure that doesnt benefit one group at the expense of another, such as fire services or roads etc. Conflating that with myself paying for say, programs that i am not allowed to benefit from, is disingenuous. There is a clear difference between taxation for basic services of which all benefit and the taking of ones wealth and giving it to others via the application of ones personal ideology. The latter being completely immoral in terms of pragmatism. I say this because you will require an armed group to enforce the taking of ones property so that it can be given, directly or indirectly, to another. A government that has this power it would require to inflict your personal beliefs would also have the power to outlaw personal firearms ownership, as they have done in almost every case.

We live in a capitalist world. Its the engine that generates the revenue to pay for all these social programs. Even the poorest and most corrupt places have police, fire, sanitation......basic services, your screaming at the rain on those points. The nonsense wasteful programs, government literally loses money....printing money. Now we have a government determined to destroy 30% of national GDP for ideology, add a carbon tax that leaves farmers unable to run machines or dry grain, foreign policy that lost the prairies their biggest market, corruption, and obstruction of justice. Your socialist utopia is looking exactly like every other ever tried. You know, the ones that stacked 100 million corpses in the 20th century.
Ontario shares in the support.
