So let's Outlaw communism. The AR-15 has not killed a person in this country in 30 years.

How about surface to air missile deaths? I was thinking of installing them on motion sensors and deployed them from my roof. .

I was also hoping to apply for an open carry for my Bazooka...How many Bazooka deaths?

Neither has an elephant to my knowledge but we can't ride them down the street. How about we stop with the hyperbole?

 

If you want to have a rational discussion over the best way to control guns is lets do that, but if all you and the gun lobby has is this kind of thing then you're going to be very frustrated.

Could I interest you in my patented Anti Girl Guide Solicitation Land Mines?  I haven't been bothered to by any pesky cookie schillers in years.

no, it isn't that. The Feds have jurisdiction over firearms, that was settled by the supreme court back in the 80s. The province of AB has no say in it, at all. All Kenney did was introduce a motion, which has all the power of a CDC post. Sorry RS its not the 'firewall' you're looking for. You should know by now that Kenney is full of crap.

 

There's only a conflict if there's some sort of overlap in jurisdiction, and there isn't for criminal gun law. The feds can allow municipalities to ban guns, there's no provincial overlap here at all. Thats why Kenney could only produce a motion and now law.

 

And the proof of this is Quebec wanting to keep its long gun registry. How'd that work out for Quebec? 

 

Its very unlikely the feds will be the ones actually doing it. Imo the result will be a direct show down with Ottawa and Alberta does JT want that right now?

How about we not discuss it? We will never agree on this.

Illegal drugs kill far more people and the government does next to nothing to stop it. Hell they invite in criminal after criminal.

Hey look, guess who Harper was inviting in for years and is still policy.

 

It's almost like the Libs and Cons are the same thing.

Canada has a secret program that grants visas to war criminals, terrorists, security threats

^ this is awesome. A passive aggressive revenge fantasy wrapped up in a myth about a Canada that never existed. Keep on being you, don't ever change man. 

So your saying that Canada has never been worth anything? Nice. At least you came out and said it finally.

I think he does want a show down on guns, tbh. Traditionally its always helped them gain seats. Plus "western alienation" over guns only plays in AB and SK where he's not getting votes anyway. 

 

We don't need to agree, but we should at least be having a factual discussion.

I knew I couldn’t trust you, but then again it shouldn’t surprise me... as I never trust a grown man who still kisses his daddy on the lips.

you are a weird person. It should concern you that your thoughts went to that place.

Yes but if your argument is I don't have a legal right to a firearm you're shutting it down before it begins. I don't have a legal right to a vehicle yet I don't think you would say we should take them away because I don't have a legal right to one.

it doesn't shut it down, but it shifts the onus on you (or the manufacturers) to show things are as safe as possible. Car manufacturers had to be forced into safety changes and I believe that gun manufacturers have to as well. They aren't doing everything they could be to make guns harder to use by illegitimate owners, e.g.

 

By continually arguing against the reality that guns are a privilege I think it puts your focus on the wrong things, and you leave yourself open to things like governments doing all the deciding.

My responses to him the last time I engaged in discussion with him.

The humans surviving would be the issue.

 

Again, this is pretty poor logic. Of course the planet will be fine. It might take a few millennia but it's survived far worse than human caused pollution. Do you however have some twisted desire to see humanity's time on the planet cut short at our own doing? Do you wish to see massive climate/weather/drought issues and polluted water and soil choke the ability for current life on this planet to survive? Oceans polluted with plastic and acidified? Oxygen depletion? Mass extinction and starvation (of not just us but most currently existing life)?

 

If so, seek help as that's a sociopathic attitude.

So doubling down on sociopath.

 

Good luck to you sir but don't be shocked the rest of us don't share your $&!# where you eat and &^@# everyone else but me, view.

I'm actually a bit concerned for him/the people around him. Hopefully it's just tasteless internet trolling.

See and I disagree. You want to outlaw a gun that hasn't hurt anyone in 30 years, why?

Essentially you are saying you support a dictatorship where a government can do whatever it wants.

but you can't disagree :picard: its literally how it is in our system. Its like saying you disagree with paying your taxes. Good luck. 

 

No I'm not saying that. I'm saying our government, when it comes to gun crime and use laws, has the paramount say. You just don't have US style rights, either personally or state/provincially. 

 

 What I'm saying is instead of having this "fight" mentality lets talk about what kind of things are actually available to make gun use safer.

no it’s not. You are so out to lunch on how the legal system works. 

 

 

Again Law 101.

 

Burden of proof - The obligation to produce evidence to prove facts necessary to establish a cause of action or a defence. It normally rests on the person who asserts a particular matter. The burden of proof requirement is designed to ensure that legal decisions are made based on facts rather than by conjecture. 

 

Liberals are the one making the claim that spending 600 million on a buyback program for the AR Is an effective way to spend tax dollars.  Therefor the burden of proof is on them or anyone else in alignment with that decision to “provide facts and evidence” to support your claim.  So far the only facts posted are ones that shut down that idea. 
 

Now because you know that there are no facts to support your claim, you are attempting to shift the goal posts by moving the burden of proof on those against.  It’s a very weak attempt, an furthermore your adjusting the criteria to support why owning X is a legal right, which is a pure strawman to the topic at hand. 
 

If you and the liberals or anyone else wants to support the idea of spending 600 million on removing the AR then provide evidence and facts that explain why.

I find it amusing a conservative, the sect of the political spectrum who tends to be the most loose with the facts is making this statement
