A PolySeSouvient spokesperson expresses concern that 'we won't see these measures materialize in our lifetimes' as the clock ticks toward a federal election.
boosted it in mastodon and sharing this post on facebook . i think this needs attention. there was 2 instances of gun violence in my building in the last few months. 1 resulted in serious injuries. a death outside my complex from bludgeoning .
hasnt been confirmed yet as the accused is before the King’s Bench. but it was bludgeoning possibly by an assault style firearm. maybe the accused did not have or jnow how to use a batonet. it wasnt pretty and its nothing to joke about
the injury incident , a shot to the groin, was due to a glock style handgun. to me they are the same as assault style rifles. the 2 nd incident, a homicide aas bludgeoning by what appeared to be an assault rifle. cant xomment on much more as these acases are vefore the King’s Bench.
Wrong question. You should be asking if it involved someone with a firearms license. The type of firearm used is irrelevant, despite what the Liberals would like us to believe.
I’m only asking that question because the article is about assault-style firearms, and OP said they are pushing the article based on shootings that may, or may not, involve assault-style weapons.
I wasn’t implying anything about general firearms issues or licensing.
The thing is that the vast majority of those who commit gun violence in the cities already own their firearms illegally and got them from a supply chain that is completely independent from the legal and heavily regulated market in the country.
Even though Trudeau’s gun ban isn’t fully implemented yet, the sale of those firearms has been banned for years now so they are already practically banned. And clearly that ban didn’t stop the violence from happening in your building.
To me, that is a very weak excuse. this is canada. we don’t have “gun rights”. that is a privilege just like having a pilot’s licence. that is not a licence to go on social media and blather about rights for “law abiding gun owners”. that is simply a veiled threat to those of us who dont own guns or may have a different skin tone or religious or gender affiliation.
secondly, when i see a vehicle with f*trudeau stickers and “2a rights” near my place when a firearms related incident happens, i am the good citizen who writes down the plate and description of the vehicle then reports to the authorities. there are DEI people in my building.
And i find its the same sore loser whiney crybababy conservatives who decry the presence of a kirpan (ceremonial knife) on a Sikh. hypocracy in the face of the deputy Consrvative party leader. I would vote for Tim S Uppal if i was in his riding.
This didn’t start with Trudeau the younger. This was Hard work by Allen Rock and the Rt Hon Jean Chretien. If you dont like it , say it to Mr Chretien’s face and see if he doesnt give you the Shawinnigan handshake lol!
And if you still dont like it,:
i hear there are no gun laws nor even any carbon tax in Haiti. you can go there while a few Haitiens are waiting at Roxham Rd that would replace you in a heartbeat and be happy to live under Canada’s gun laws and grateful to pay carbon tax.
All I said is that the relatively recent gun ban that the article is talking about did absolutely nothing to prevent the incidence of gun violence in your building. From there you made up a strawman of what you think, through pure prejudice, of what my political positions are and went on a wild rant about them, including on completely unrelated subjects.
If you want a more detailed explanation of my position on the subject, all you have to do is scroll up to my other post where I explained it in full detail. From that you will see that:
1: I never portrayed gun ownership as a right
2: I actually praise the effective gun control measures that were already in place.
3: I criticize the Conservative’s approach to the problem as well.
I am an advocate for pragmatic measures against violence in the cities without the political and ideological nonsense that has been surrounding it for decades. I am sick of politicians continuing to use the same cheap distractions from the problem while it keeps getting worse. We have a cost of living and poverty problem in our cities and social environments in which kids don’t have much future to look to for themselves. This is what promotes crime and gang violence and therefore fuels a demand for illegal guns that end up in the wrong hands.
Lol! i know i bark louder than the taco bell chihuawa when i see virtue signalling for the right .
On the other hand, i personally see very little open gang violence from our youth here in the Chi. the most open threats come exactly from the middle aged crisis far right around this place. mostly a generation or so younger than me. I’m senior enough to know i keep my wheelchair close by so i can jump in it at the first indication there might be a benefits inspector around. and I have bottle kids under my command to carry out my acts of “civil disobedience” . i dont see as far and cant aim as well.

So, ban blunt objects?

Can’t tell if serious.
Did they involve assault style rifles?

ROFL! the lame arguments some of you bring up
That was completely unhinged.

Hows that for unhinged ?
Very unhinged.
Clearly you’re more interested in fighting a strawman than the main point. You can do that on your own.
