Damn. I really thought Carney would scrap this horrible gun buyback program citing sensible economic policy.
This could be such an easy win. All the data shows that law abiding gun owners aren't the problem. Stop the flow of illegal weapons from the states. Educate people on guns and encourage people to get their PALs should be the approach. I'm a gun dude and would even support stricter gun training if it helps weed out the crazies.
Really weird hill to die on.
Doubling down on this when we our sovereignty is threatented is just straight bonkers. You bet PP will make this a main talking point and it could really snowball.
Training is what we need to promote - and broader training than just weapons usage and safety.
I don’t have a firm enough position on gun control to want it costing us money right now, but that mainly opens me up to accepting whatever position is most politically expedient. I'll take bad gun control laws over a PP government every time, and I think you might have a sheltered view on what position is most popular.
Maybe. I'm on Vancouver Island where shooting is very ingrained in the culture. Our guns are tools more than weapons.
I think majority of city people have a sheltered view of guns and that's why this garbage ass policy ever even seen the light of day. The libs who made the policy obviously have zero understanding of the "gun problem". This policy has seemingly no effect on gun violence.
