  • Gun violence in Canada is near exclusively committed with illegal firearms brought up from the states. The limits on long guns for people with PALs does nothing to curb the violence.

    Also, lots of specific model gun prohibitions are literally based on how scary a gun looks and not anything to do with things like barrel length or caliber. The FN FAL was recently prohibited because you can fix a bayonet, like all those pesky criminals are doing these days…

    Your English is great! Not perfect, but good enough to get the idea across, which is what matters in language. Don’t apologise for that :)

    I know this is hard and scary in the moment, but it’s not like you can control anything about their reaction. Older people tend to be a bit more set in their ideas, but if your grandparents really love you they should love you for who you are.

    If they can’t see that, then that’s no big problem for you. The only thing worse than a negative relationship is maintaining a positive one by hiding your true self. If they choose to be nasty and mean, you can try to have a calm conversation with them to show that you’re still the same person they’ve always known. The most important part is time, don’t give up on them if it feels hopeless and don’t listen to anyone who tells you to cut off contact completely after the first bad interaction.
