    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.

      ROFL! the lame arguments some of you bring up
