Gun control hasn’t been a big issue during the 2025 election like it was in 2021. But it’s still important to assess the gun policies of the two parties leading in the polls.
Ya it’s weird the illegal gun owner’s will continue to ignore those bylaws as well. I really don’t understand the liberals war on legal
Guns being regulated at the federal level is part of the reason Canada’s gun laws are so much better than the US where it’s regulated by county. So at least the ban doesn’t break that.
It’s already a felony to illegally possess a firearm. So banning legally acquired ones is effectively putting legal gun owners in the crosshairs of the law, punishing lawful behavior.
😢
Funding border patrol and cargo inspection is going to be infinitely more effective.
Although the real reason we have a war on legal gun owners is realistically it’s impossible to curb the flow of illegal firearms and by going arfter legal ownership, the liberals appear to be doing something to stop the violence. It’s performative, they also know most liberal voters aren’t gun owners.

Because legal gun still increase the rate of violence in a society. Criminals also have easier time acquiring them when the supply chain for them is right there.
Youre the one claiming criminals are stealing legal firearms, the majority of which are hunting rifles. The vast majority of gun crime i read about is commited with handguns.
Not really. Setting aside that atm the only legal handgun owners are the police/military, they have to be stored in a locked container anchored immovable to the home and their location known to the police at all times. IF someone broke in and somehow ripped the safe off the wall/open the minute the owner got home it would be immediately reported.
This is false. Before the ban RPAL holders could aquire certain handguns. They still had to keep them locked away 24/7 and inform the correct authorities if they ever moved it, like taking it to the range or changing apartments.
Considering those grandfathered in is too broad for the discussion because at that point someone somewhere has one still, no matter what we’re talking about.
This ban still happened recently. There are lots of “legal” handgun owners who are not military/police. There is also the grandfathering of guns as well as certain exsecurity like brinks workers, and positions like game wardens in the MNR. All these employees still had to get their training and lisenceing just like anyone else through the same courses.

How many criminals are running around with a hunting rifle stuffed in their pants?
Real strawman argument right there.

They can ignore those bylaws, sure. But giving the police more tools and means to curb those illegal guns coming in is a good thing no?
Ya it is but banning handguns isn’t giving the police more tools…
Criminals can steal handguns from legal owners…
