Loaded Law: Handgun ban sending some sports on slow death marches

[Jay]

That retard said it himself at the end…”do you think criminals will think twice about picking up a handgun because they are now banned?” “No I do not”

Everything else is irrelevant.

CRIMINALS ALREADY DONT OBEY THE LAW

Agreed, and this is why I have started saying that this 'fight' is more than the AR15 or the 2020 OIC, it's about EVERYTHING...

Absolutely everything in the Firearms Act that exists only to burden the law abiding, has to go! Classifications (which enable future confiscation), pinned magazines etc etc etc, all of it has to go because criminals don't follow any of it anyway so it only serves to burden the law abiding. Bring common sense back, isn't that what Pierre keeps saying? Well, I believe he's going to get his chance & he better get after it on day one!

Whether its truedope or his brother in law the other Peirre in so called power it makes no difference at all. This is a global UN agenda.

Criminals arm themselves regardless of the laws. Might as well open it all up so every Canadian, who desires to, can arm themselves for every lawful purpose. Proving that you’re a Canadian should be proof enough to obtain a gun and ammunition. If you’re someone who shouldn’t own these weapons because you’re likely to harm others, then you should be locked up.

Not just firearms. This is about basic property rights. If they can get away with a ban on firearms, they can ban ownership of anything.

I don’t know, I can see how a ban on handguns can be a positive thing for safety. Not everyone obeys safe storage practices, and like all property guns can be stolen. Also, it might help reduce homicide rates in domestic abuse situations.

If all guns magically disappeared today then shootings would stop. Yep.
Would violence go down? The UK and Australia have "knife crime epidemics" (their words, not mine). Violence...including shootings...are up in Canada after years of Trudeau's "gun control".
And we know that very few Canadian pistols are involved in crime. We know that the vast majority of crime-guns are pistols from the USA. In Vancouver, I have been told by high ranking members of the VPD that 100% of the guns they pull off of bad-guys are American pistols. So, as a taxpayer, where do you think should the efforts/expenditures be focused?

But look, this is textbook "wedge-politics" being practiced by the Libs. It gets them votes from low-info voters. And they're good at it. But, just like the stupid LGR, the cost issue is going to sink them.

HOLD ONTO TO YOUR GUNS

[guysavard]

There have been studies, published by our own Canadian government that dispels the myths that there is any significant correlation, increase or decrease when guns are present, in regards to suicide. Similar studies would show this to be found in domestic violence situations as well. Yes, guns are affective weapons, that’s the point really, they put holes in and through objects. It is the person, not the tool that is the problem.

Has violence, crime or homicides decreased when lawful people have no or little access to guns? Look for yourself, the data and evidence shows no justification for anti gun legislation, there is no positive change and increase in public safety. Also, our own government has given countless weapons to all sorts of bad actors abroad, like the U.S.

More and more Canadians are getting their PALs and purchasing guns, so that’s a big positive.

Time to repeal all of this useless gun legislation and bring back common sense.

You're a gun owner? Jesus.

I don't know of one gun owner that owns handguns that doesn't lock them up safely. This isn't the states.
Your "logic" is the exact same mindset as the gun grabbers and socialists. i.e: "The common man is too stupid to take care of their own affairs so we need big government to make sure the rest of us are safe."

So will banning cars, knives, bats, bricks, water, electricity....you should seek mental help immediately, for your own sake.

Liberals have to be voted out. No debate on this one.

Even if they're voted out, they will still have more seats, for the win. And then there's the merger with the NDP.

That Trudeau feller is one smart guy. Or does it just look so, compared to us?
