    I’ll reshare this with the headline from the article because I think OP keeps sharing it with an auto generated head line and the mods don’t like it.

    Put the money from the buyback into catching the unlicensed criminals who use illegal, smuggled guns to commit crimes.  Cancel the prohibition of ‘scary’, ‘military looking’ guns and instead devote resources to keeping illegal guns from crossing the border through reserves and via incoming transport trucks.

    The “pressure” mounting is from fringe elements in the gun ownership sphere and other related gun-related interest groups.

    Most citizens support gun control.

  4. No provincial or municipal government should be assisting the federal government with the gun grab. They should be forcing the feds to do the whole thing themselves, so that when it inevitably fails, there is no way for the feds to deflect the blame for the failure onto anyone else.

    Pistols are now prohibited, it’s not legal gun owners that are the problem, this buy back won’t do anything to reduce gun violence, it’s criminals with guns that is the problem, using law abiding citizens as a scapegoat to cover bad policy won’t help or fix anything

  6. Feds want to take guns away while we’re building up our military for an inevitable invasion…how does this make sense to anyone? Are they even going to bother giving Canadians weapons to defend the country when the script reaches its conclusion?

    What’s the point of taking guns away from citizens when the gov will have to emergency arm us anyway? Seems like they want territorial defense with harsh words…

    Tye gun photographed could not be further from the intent of this program. Alt right hyperbole and misrepresentations.

  8. I’m sorry, but “semi-automatic shotguns and rifles with military-style features, higher-capacity magazines, or rapid-fire capability” are completely distinct from “decades-old hunting rifles”.
