So now after years of Canadian police blaming victims of theft of not securing their stuff, they now want you to leave your stuff unsecured. Cool, Cool, Cool cool…

    But if someone breaks into your house to steal your keyfob, and you shoot them… suddenly YOU’RE the bad guy.

      You have to stab them with a hockey skate, as is tradition.

      Oh if someone breaks into you’re house kills your kids and then they find loose ammo in the house you’re the bad guy. Canada has somehow made chief Wiggum look good.

        One of the things Oregon does right. Rules on lethal force:

        https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_161.219

        "a person is not justified in using deadly physical force upon another person unless the person reasonably believes that the other person is:

        (1) Committing or attempting to commit a felony involving the use or threatened imminent use of physical force against a person; or

        (2) Committing or attempting to commit a burglary in a dwelling; or

        (3) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force against a person. [1971 c.743 §23]"

      “The U.S. has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021. That was more than seven times as high as the rate in Canada, which had 0.57 deaths per 100,000 people — and about 340 times higher than in the United Kingdom, which had 0.013 deaths per 100,000”

      Who cares who has guns if you’re more likely to survive when they’re banned? I personally prefer to live.

        Why does everyone make it about the US? I don’t want to always compare to the broken wreck anymore.

        And guns are not banned in Canada, in fact as per civilian guns per capita Canada is number 7 in the world with one firearm for every 3 people or so.
