Groan. It’s Sunshine bringing us the cloudy skies again. What a discouraging person.
Here’s the pro-gun user ignoring the evidence on the topic again.

Watch the gun-owners quickly do damage control in the comments.
The Conservatives use gun control as a wedge issue. Carney was quick to drop the carbon tax because it was politically toxic - it isn’t beyond the pale to imagine he’d do the same with gun control. 🤷♂️
It’s the Liberals who have been fiddling with gun laws for 30 years anytime they need a bump in the polls.
That’s not a statement of fact. That’s your personal pro-gun violence bias speaking.
If Canada ever reaches a point like the USA where the government is unlawfully abducting people from their homes, you may understand why some people think common people should be able to own guns.
We unfortunately live in a world where guns exist and they can be used for oppression. People stand a better chance against armed opression when they themselves are armed.
Not every gun owner is out here using guns as an extension of power, most just use them for hobbies and huntings. And many express that they would fight against nazi level opression if it comes down to it.
