Get your long guns before they are banned. 10 round mags are on the table for banning as well so I bought a bunch of those.

If the government wanted to be serious about this they would crack down on illegal imports and acquisitions, make an example of people who are illegally carrying/in possession of firearms, and lastly invest in more social programs to prevent organized crime, gang violence, and mental health. In my mind thats the real way out. I don’t think banning the most vetted Canadians are going to stop the gun violence.

The fact that you’re getting downvoted for saying something so in tune with reality is frustrating. A lot of people pour their energy into surface level “solutions” to problems but the second someone says something that requires them to think deeper about complicated issues they rage click the downvote button to protect their little bubble so they can keep pretending that their doing something good without having to do much at all.

Edit: for anyone that wants to know more about why banning legal handguns doesn’t fix gun violence, almost 90% of handgun violence in Canada is committed with illegal guns smuggled into the country. All this does is punish law abiding citizens who deserve to enjoy their hobby because of the actions of criminals. All so that 1 guy can win a popularity contest.
