I own multiple firearms - including handguns, shotguns, 30 cals, even a C7 - and I don’t agree with the approach the Liberals have on gun laws currently. I hope they change their approach given the current context.
But I also know that in Canada owning guns is a privilege not a right, and the government can choose to limit that privilege, as governments have done in many other countries. In Canada you simply cannot use self defense as a reason to own a gun.
I will not vote against all of my interests, on every other issue, and against the sovereignty of my country, because I want to own all of my guns. If you want to defend your country, join the police or the military. You can join the reserves part time. If you don’t want to do it now, don’t worry…you will have the option to do so if it comes to hostilities, you will get training and you will get guns.
I’m skeptical that you were ever going to do anything differently, whether or not Donald Trump had changed the calculus. I suspect you were always a single issue voter on this. So I doubt what I say will make a difference, but at least you might be able to appreciate why someone might not want to support the Conservatives despite the fact that they own guns and despite the fact that they understand why you might feel safer with your guns.
The reality is if there are truly hostilities, nothing will be the same and no one will be safe. I will not hand my country over to a party that I don’t trust to protect the country’s sovereignty based on gun laws that won’t mean shit anyway if that sovereignty is violated.
Edit to add one other point: Frankly if 1 in 5 Conservatives are traitors to the country, the fact that they own guns is just as much a danger to me as a potential American invasion, maybe more so because they are not a potential threat but a real one. Maybe the party that claims to support the country, its sovereignty and its well-being should weed those elements out before they start pushing to arm everyone.
You will vote for the annexation of your and my country over a fucking gun hobby? Do you understand how ridiculous that is?
Hi yes I like to draw but art supplies are an issue with this government. I will vote for the loss of millions of people’s rights and lives so it’s more convenient for me to draw. Who raises you morons?
