HKSR Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, Me_ said: The civil vote on whether you can kill someone with an assault rifle or not is not necessary after a quarter century of debate. I really wouldn’t sweat the principle over this. Unless you’re the type whose desire to own an assault rifle outweighs common sense. You should be a professional to handle professional weapons. Become a soldier and you’ll have plenty of toys to play with. This exactly. Want to play with big guns? Go join the military and serve overseas in a war zone. Have fun! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun owners are too afraid to answer an online poll because they don't want the government tracking their whereabouts via the internet. And you know this how? As far as I can tell, the voting is open to anyone.... And tell me you don't actually believe that the government is "tracking" people's votes in an MSN online poll..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARs have served no use to the public since they were designed. So why were they ever available? I don't like the timing. Why has it taken so long? Couldn't have banned them 50 years ago?

Dungass Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I suppose this thread is indicative, sadly, of how politicized the outbreak has become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about Protecting Canadians the best we can. Seems pretty cut and dry to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the government let this happen again? At least the government acted. I know it took until the biggest mass shooting in Canadian history to do something but better late than never. Everytime this happens in the States (weekly it seems) that government talks the talk but never walks the walk. The second amendment is a major reason why the US is the way it is, a divided disaster. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets at least try other ways of getting to a balanced budget first, that is very achievable. Jimmy, I’m with you on this. If everyone simply defaults on their debt, there will be total chaos. Going forward, How would government’s finance capital expansion and infrastructure? Why would anyone lend them the money? What about a young family wanting to buy a house? Who would finance that? What about business loans? If you simply forgave all debt now, there would be no willing lenders going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said its about "Reducing the Risk", our death toll is, by far, much lower then the majority of other countries. There are numerous stats out there to see how successful we are compared to the rest of the world. Can you even remotely compare us ,to say, our southern neighbors? I think not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an exceptional situation and I'm sure the inability to acquire assault rifles may save many others from mass shootings that would've occurred had the government done nothing.
