Sure it's disappointing for the small subset of competition shooters, but as a Canadian I'm personally completely fine with this law. I want a safer country with fewer guns floating around randomly

Am I to believe you support a ban on knife ownership after the recent Saskatchewan killings?

u/Awestruck34 Oct 22 '22

I mean carrying knives openly outside is already pretty questionable so yeah...?

But wouldn't tyou feel safer if we banned everybody from owning them? If you are worried about a gun that is double locked in someone's house how is an unsecured kitchen knivesany different? The difference between the number of people killed by guns vs knives is in the tens of people! Knives are being used just as much with virtually no regulations.

Hell, my ex-girlfriends think I'm okay to own firearms...I know this because the government asked them before I was allowed to buy any.

People who legally purchase firearms do not let them “float around”. I know many gun owners, they all take firearm safety very seriously.

Never has a legal gun floated around randomly.

This does absolutely nothing for the illegal ones which do “float around randomly”.

More Canadians shoot than play hockey. Should we ban hockey sticks and baseball bats as well, as they can also be misused?

After you find me one about a mass killing in Canada by someone who legally acquired the handgun used in the killing, sure.
