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.
You comment is very confusing. I understand not supporting the gun restrictions introduced in the last 5 years, but why would you oppose the buyback program? If the government makes a citizen's property illegal to own, they should compensate the citizen.
FTFY. Also, the issue (generally) isn't gun owners, it's their guns that get stolen, misused, etc.
Irrelevant and nonsensical. Individual gun owners have no impact on preserving our sovereignty. Modern militaries are on a different level than "A well regulated Militia" or whatever other 2A BS this is.
.22 will be useless and they start shelling us.
I feel like anyone LARPing or dreaming with military campaign would be better served by practicing with RC planes and drones, tanking cool pictures, breathtaking videos, or just doing cool aerial tricks.
I'm an experienced drone pilot and that's how I would plan to contribute.
The Canadian Rangers use tikka t3x rifles which we can still legally buy. In the event of war you probably want something that can fire 7.62 NATO as that will be the ammo which is distributed.
Canada is mostly wilderness. A bolt action rifle still has a place in your pack. It is reliable and simple. Lightweight.
My 80yo father-in-law has some drones, he will be more useful than me, I should probably save for a good one and start practicing.
Found some tikka t3x on the used listing here, I was trying to find their brochure to see which model they recommend for conversion to 7.62, I imagine a .308 Win would work.
