If it was up to most of you wanna be republicans we would have US gun laws by now.

What do you need assault rifles for except to play soldier and look at them?

A good hunter needs a good hunting rifle with a small magazine.

Chuck2 what reality do you live in? We are already limited to a clip with a maximum of 5 shells. Shutting down the legal sale of handguns has done nothing to decrease their availability. It has simply made it more profitable for those selling illegal guns. Just because a gun looks more dangerous doesn’t make it more dangerous as with an assault rifle.

Handguns have been the most strictly controlled firearm for close to 100 years in Canada yet they are still the choice of criminals.

Australia showed that tougher gun laws and enforcement reduces gun deaths.

And Downunder said its accepted and not that big of deal in Australia.

But the gun lobby in Canada is directly influenced by the gun manufacturers in the US who argue against more restrictions every time because they want to sell more guns!

Unpopular option, but a very very realistic possibility used to push political agendas! lies, lies and more lies.

I've never felt influenced by any lobby even tho they exist in another country.
Touring gun stores down here now I'm not interested in buying anything even if I could as I already have almost every flavor and gadget.

We're never going to agree on the issue. I'm pointing out the policy and tactics.SOP in politics to be sure.
I am one collector. One day legal property, the next not. $70,000 that I might see half of or not, we don't know.
Already far over budget and not one gun handled. Marc Lepine incidents mitigation had other tools. But no votes. But what's a few $B in spillage if I secure a vote?
Handguns now worthless. Collateral damage. Legal ownership risk always negligible.
Unless they're smuggled black market. Flourishing business.

By the time Little Potato gets his hands on any the Ukraine war will be over. Only a small fraction would've been remotely useful anyway. People so gullible.

What's on a OIC list tomorrow??
Let me look around your yard and think of something.

People on a colonial island can swoon over rights of the king but I might not.

Interesting conversation.
US citizen: nice everyday urban guy.
This was during the BLM unrest and concern for personal safety. I asked him about it.

He was not worried, his reply:

"We all have guns, my wife, my kids, and me. We learn how to use them.
We do not hunt."

Me: Why?

US citizen:
Self protection. Criminals know we have guns. Come to my door, we will use them to protect our family.

Wonder what the stats on home invasion are in Canada to the USA?

first comes registration ,next confiscation and then tyranny

That pattern has been repeated throughout history enough times.

USA gun mentality at it's finest.

Vicki, I highly doubt you draw a gun or the overwhelming majority of Canadians do, when a stranger comes knocking at the door.

Count your self lucky then forage. Some have had to. Kamala harris said she would use her glock if needed.

I remember have a conversation with Murray Mandryk about this. He is such a tool.

I said where I farm it is a minimum 2 miles to 5 miles between yards. I explained how an RCMP officer suggested that if burgulars come in the front door that I should go out the back. Murray agreed with that.

I said then what? What if half of them are waiting outside? Am I supposed to hide until they leave? The RCMP said it is just stuff. That's why you have insurance.

I said no wonder we have the problems we do.

Rather have a gun than wish I had one if the situation came to that?
