Choke on it.

They must be expected to face the same requirements.

Trump’s life mission is to reduce the US unionization rate to below 10% while cutting overtime pay and the male teamsters supported him….

Here’s more whataboutism. Stay on the topic at hand.

PolySeSouvient’s letter, dated last Friday, is copied to others, including Provost, current Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Rachel Bendayan, a former associate public safety minister.

The group says the new public safety minister should be directed to:

— build an incentive package in the buyback program to encourage early compliance;

— conduct meaningful consultations with stakeholders before draft bills, regulations, directives and public education campaigns are made public;

— immediately launch an investigation into the classification of the SKS, a rifle that has been used in mass and police shootings, to find a solution that protects public safety and respects Indigenous rights to hunt;

— eliminate all loopholes, exemptions and exceptions related to magazine capacity.

We should hastily implement every recommendation.

A prominent gun control group is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to swiftly implement Liberal election promises on firearms and avoid the foot-dragging that left many pledges under the previous government unfulfilled.

PolySeSouvient includes students and graduates of Montreal’s École Polytechnique, where a gunman killed 14 women in 1989.

Safety regulations does not equate to “government tyranny”

That’s the same argument made against seat belts, masks and vaccines.

Few recent Canadian mass shooters had criminal records of any kind, for example, and most obtained their weapons legally (although the Portapique killer did not).

the remaining 20 to 25 per cent of firearm deaths that are not suicide, the data is unclear but appears to follow the Canadian homicide pattern of 31 per cent resulting from family violence. The presence of a gun in a household struggling with heavy drinking, domestic violence and other stresses is inherently intimidating and deadly.

The family violence crisis is not just about deaths; it’s also about the health of the home environment. Thousands of Canadian women and children are forced to seek shelter from violence and abuse every day, while many more live in fear.

The northern and rural regions of all provinces experience significantly higher homicide rates than southern and metropolitan regions.

This tracks with data from the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians showing significantly higher gun ownership in northern, rural and Indigenous communities.

So although the overall picture is complex, the dominant themes are remarkably clear. Given the driving patterns of self-harm and gun violence, a phased-in reduction of easy access to weapons is likely to yield significant results over time. This isn’t controversial, as it’s worked for many other countries for decades.

Really pushing the disinformation and gaslighting here. Pearl clutching about your weapons designed to kill others under the guise of “hobbies”

Illegal guns are sold from legal owners to criminals. So no they’re not “well intentioned individuals”

There was also an incident where a father used his legal gun to kill his wife, father in law then himself. Wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t allowed access to guns in the first place.

“78.3% of gun-related domestic homicides in Canada were committed with firearms in the legal possession of licensed owners.”

Finally! I won’t be fruitlessly searching for these in my grocers.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Quebec proving once again they’re smarter than BC.

We unfortunately live in a world where guns exist and they can be used for oppression. People stand a better chance against armed opression when they themselves are armed.

That’s nonsense because gun ownership actually increases the likelihood of death for the owner. Not very self protective is it…

Hopefully he actually listens to women who face a disproportionate amount of gun violence even from the legal ones.

Here’s the pro-gun user ignoring the evidence on the topic again.

That’s not a statement of fact. That’s your personal pro-gun violence bias speaking.

Watch the gun-owners quickly do damage control in the comments.

We need to shrink the US economy well below 20% of the world’s.

Divest from Israel, fossil fuels and animal agriculture!
