Feds study to ban guns

[biglentil]

For self defence better defer to baseball bat. My handguns are locked in a safe with trigger locks on so deploying one for self defence would be too slow. To not store handguns like that is a federal crime in Canada with serious penalties.

In our society, handguns, safely used, can provide a wonderful sport for law abiding citizens. That's it. Assault rifles fall into the same category. Three gun events that use handgun, carbine and shotgun are so much fun for all ages, sexes and abilities. I've shot events with grandmothers all the way to a 9 year old girl that shot supervised and within her capabilities. Like all sport, teaches sportsmanship, etc. but beyond that, the shooting sports instill that constant watching for safety.

If a handgun is locked in a safe designed to store firearms no trigger lock is required and ammo right beside in the magazine is legal.

Handguns and assault rifles should be banned, no need for them. They are designed to kill people end of story. I fully support owning long guns but all these gang bangers are getting handguns from improperly stored stuations and even steeling safes with the guns in. God help us if we become gun worshipers like the Americans. Flame away but I think it would save lives.

This proposed ban is is nothing more than the govt not accepting responsibility for a few of their failings.

First, the immigration problem, illegal or otherwise if immigrants are from those cultures that don't value life as we do.

Next the drug crisis, especially meth. Crystal meth cooking and use is a massive problem here and the violence and crime around it is unbelievable. And it's everywhere. We had a meth lab here (in what we call the bush) that exploded and finally drew the attention of police. Now there's even murder connections to the people involved.

Resources for mental illness are very limited.


There's also the police, courts and how they respond. Locally here there is a disturbed man that was harassing and scaring literally everyone in the community. Many complaints to police about his real threats. Police said they couldn't do anything mu till he did something. WTF? Long story short he was arrested a couple of weeks ago with a loaded sawed off shotgun and 3 other guns, one stolen. He is believed to be looking for a farmer here, one of the only people to stand up to him. A stolen gun? Would Trudeau's ban stop that? Not the end of the story as nut job is now out on bail and is back at it burning sloughs in a fire ban.

You should be a liberal. Sounds like you like deciding how responsible people should live, and what they should enjoy.

The people who are afraid of firearms Toronto,Montreal have a means to curb their illegal use they have their own police forces use them! Rural and urban Canada are two different worlds when it comes to firearms use, there is hardly a day that I don’t handle a firearm for a legal purpose , yet very seldom have a double double, go to a concert or museum or pro sports event.
So urbanites manage your world with your means as you see fit but don’t try to manage my totally different world at the same time!

This is an easy vote getter.
And will happen someday. Hopefully after Im gone.

Now, if we cant control cigarette smuggling????
See, we have this long border with a high gun pop country. With a few First Nations along it. (Sorry)
So,a handgun ban will save a handful of lives here like the carbon tax is saving the unicorns.
Crime or suicide by lawfully owned handgun owners infinitissimal.
Now we'll have to define "assault rifle". Could that be like the old lever Winchester that guy stormed Parliament with.
This country is being pulled down by p___ys and its disgusting.
Creating and feeding a fear to buy votes will eventually backfire.

If you know how many guns you have, you dont have enough.

BS most are smuggled in across the border. Do you realize the states with lowest levels of violent crimes also have concealed carry? You want real problems ban guns then only criminals will have em.

Give up liberty for security you shall have neither.

Very naive to think that this would stop at handguns.
Pretty soon some Toronto Liberal would ask why does Breadwinner from the prairies need a semi-automatic .308 and why isn’t his double barrel shotgun registered??
The Liberals would soon implement another long barrel registry for about $20 billion.

You guys are being too hard on Dum-dum. He is working hard to make life better for gun smugglers who have only been making $2500 on concealed imports of S&W 9mm's. Should be able to easily make $5000 a pop or more now. Making Canada Great Again - one terrorist and criminal at a time.
