Gun Ban

[furrowtickler]

So that gives you the right to own an assult weapon???Have you or anyone you know actually needed an assult weapon that an ordinary hunting gun would not have worked.?

Nope , never needed one , don’t ever do , but the drug gangs will still get them regardless of the ban or not along with whatever guns they want
That’s the point all are missing here

There's a lot more missing than that. The shooting sports extend a lot further than hunting. IPSC, IDPA, and PPC, are all pistol competitions that mimic in varying degrees tactical, combat or self defence scenarios. 3 gun is a widely shot competition in every part of Canada that uses rifle (usually AR15 or variants), shotgun and handgun, that runs competitors through different scenarios. Cowboy action is a 3 gun event using rifles, shotgun and revolvers all based on the firearms of the last half of the 1800's (westerns). Of course trap and skeet.

I' shoot a few of these when I can, IDPA, 3 gun and Cowboy Action, and the diversity of participants would shock most. Many women, "new" Canadians (especially FIlipinos in 3 gun) a lot of seniors in Cowboy, kids including boys and girls.

The point is when people who are truly ignorant of shooting sports and gun capabilities and "classifications) make assumptions, misconceptions can run amuck. To say no one needs a handgun, or no one needs an AR, is akin to telling hockey players, " no one needs a stick" or a ball player, "no one needs a bat". BTW both stick and bat could viewed as viable weapons if guns aren't available. Anything is truly a weapon in the hands of the wrong mindset.

Also, I'm reminded of the Navy Seal motto re civilian defence, "I don't need a gun with me. If it comes up and I need one, I'll just take yours".

To change the channel on gun violence in Canada the underlying reason of why people join gangs needs addressing. This can be the Socialists' answer of throwing money at the problem or the other approach of creating an economic environment that grows jobs and wealth creation the market way. Quit disenfranchising people whatever way because gun bans won't work.

Probably less than two hundred shooting deaths a year in Canada that are homicide.


And well over twenty thousand medical malpractice deaths in Canada every year.


And guns are a problem?

This policy announcement was a weak attempt to change the dialogue from Trudeau’s privilege supremacy gaff, insincere apologies and lies this week.

[Braveheart]

I hope the people of colour (can’t call them visible minorities anymore) get that what Trudeau did had nothing to do with white supremacy, it was class supremacy.

Pretty hard to argue with success.
Years ago the Aussies bought the
Semi autos back.
Guess what no mass shootings
Since.
They have bad folks nut jobs too.
The last one had to go to new
Zealand to acquire the weapon to kill 50.

These types do not worry about stiffer penalties.
Most plan on dieing anyway.
The US has the most people in prison on the planet.
And a high gun homicide rate .

Just look at what works .
Pretty simple.really

Our most notorious killer 24 dead
LAPINE , polytechnic got his weapon
From his army reserve job.
The Norway guy that killed an
Island of children.
Military too . Access to weapons.

No sense those weapons being on the streets .
We kill enough here with shotguns and rifles.

If there are no limits on
Weaponry on the streets .
Then give em tanks or rocket
Launchers.
Then they can really do some
Damage

I can bring in more than one 80 year old (and a 75 year old retired school marm) with an 1873 lever action rifle that would make a mockery of your comments.

[Braveheart]

Yes. I was just replying to bravehearts mention of semi-autos only have 5 shot clips as my Sako 30-06 bolt also has a 5 shot clip.

Ruger Gunsite Scout and many bolt actions come with 10 round “legal” clips. Many are compatible with AR 15 mags.

Sako=nice gun

How many are gang violence, how many are average citizens and how many of those in the prairie provinces?

Interesting statistics.

They will have to be pinned at 5 rounds or they are prohibited. In other words you can have a 100 shot drum but it has to be pinned at 5 rounds. Now yes the criminals and psychos will bring them back to full capacity, no doubt. I mean really I'm with you on the substance of the topic, go down to cabellas and ask if you can have a couple 10 round magazines for your mini 14, or even your 303 British. It's just the way it is, and I dont have a problem with it either.

From chuck chcuk basically exactly whats happened here no issues with our laws controls from rural people or hunters or guys at gun clubs.

I am gun owner. I still do some hunting and pest control. I am not advocating that rural residents lose their right to own legitimate guns.
