The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

Haggis said:
In the latest on Instagram from Polysesouvient, Canada's gun violence problem has little to do with criminals and is mainly law abiding gun owners "with issues".

They have to try to stay relevant, so the cheques keep rolling in.

The Polysuvient people are riding a tragedy that happened 25 years ago... A pretty good run as grifters, so I see why they want to keep it going.

*34 years ago.

To put in perspective the internet wasn't really a thing, the first text message hadn't even been made yet, Gulf War 1 hadn't happened yet, and the USSR still existed. Literally people who were graduating that year from the school (having gone there directly from highschool) could be retiring early now, that is how long ago it was. Troops have been born, grew up, and earned CD's within that time span.

Insane how long they have been able to drag this out for, especially considering we have had no repeat incident since (closest being the Nova Scotia shooting, but I wouldn't consider that even remotely close as those firearms were obtained illegally).

Squeezing all the life they can out of tragedy to further their political beliefs.
 
Remember, too, that December 6 is just a few days away. What a great day for a new OIC banning something else as an early Christmas gift to the anti-gunners.

Will it be:
  • more "assault style firearms"?
  • a full handgun ban?
  • magazine restrictions?
  • all repeating long guns (pumps, semis and lever actions)?
Team Red can't ban everything now. They have to save something for the next election campaign.

And it Trudeau/Leblanc let the date pass without a new gun control announcement or ban then it shows they have measured the support of the antis and found it wanting.

I truly think the winds have changed or are changing on firearms in Canada. Even my most very leftist of friends are either owners themselves now, for various reasons, or they are more ambivalent about the whole thing.

I'm not sure any further moves on this file do much except more damage to the LPC brand.

If anything, my guess would be they try to thread the needle and go after PCC's, maybe short barrelled and/or magfed shotguns. They got handed their lunch for going after the SKS, can't see them risking the backlash of manual repeaters.

They've done it here at the Michigan gun shows. They've been caught actively working and surveilling the shows and parking lots. It didn't go well for them then either. They don't take kindly to RCMP watching people with binos and taking pictures at these events without letting anyone know they are illegally operating on US soil without notice or permission.
 
Hmm. Does Polysouvient have statistics to back up that assertion? I recall "evidence-based policy making" used to be a thing...

But we allow China to do what they do.....

Well, if the Canadian, domestic, security organizations really do conduct operations without coordination on foreign soil we can't really call China on it can we?

It seems to me I read that a group of Army officers drove around the US in the early 1920s? looking for invasion routes,,,,so.....
