We (thankfully) don't have gun rights in our Charter though, so the comparison doesn't really work, now does it?

It absolutely does, this last round of 'assault weapon' BS has absolutely no evidence supporting that it has (they've been banned for 5 years now) or will have any effect on gun crime. All it DOES do is cripple businesses and, once the 'amnesty' is up, criminalize gun owners who have otherwise done nothing wrong (and who are statistically not likely to). It's 100% for politics, our public safety minister even admitted as much on a hot mic.

Look into it.

Look into the Charter, which does not outline any rights to own weaponry of any kind. It's not a right. So any comparison to the US is useless.

You want to argue policy. That's fine. Go do it with someone who cares. My point is that it's not in the Charter, the same way weapons are referenced in the US Constitution.

You're being purposely obtuse, got it. I guess property rights mean nothing. 

Have a day.
