Will a Gun Ban Stop Violence in Canada? - Rod Giltaca (Guest)

[@PS-zu5ww]

The monster in Nova Scotia was not a licensed gun owner, used illegal firearms, possessed an illegal RCMP uniform, and modified a surplus cruiser to look like an RCMP vehicle-which is also illegal. He then burned 9 people and their pets to death in their homes. Mr Trudeau's gun grab will not prevent a madmen like him from doing something like that in future. PS Justin's personal protection detail, the RCMP, are allowed to use military issue C8 "assault rifles" with 30 round magazines, and capable of full auto. What war do they plan on fighting? I guess there are two sets of standards for this regime?

Yep! More wasted money that could have been used to actually do some good, like more equipment for Border Control Agents, a court system that actually prosecutes criminals, a parole system that won't release repeat offenders, a probation system that tracks down criminals,a system that treats mental illnesses and most of all a non-biased media that can actually tell the truth.

The problem is that this is not front and center, sure it's an excellent discussion, but this needs to be elevated to National Television, otherwise it will just get lost in the background noise of the current pandemic, this is what Turdo, and the lIbtards as well as the anti gunners are counting on. By then it will be too late. Make them accountable, force them to defend themsleves on National Television. Call them out on things like the illegality of using an OIC - Order in Council - to push an agenda. Call them on using a Tragedy to pander to a group of vocal minorities. Ask them on National Television how is it that by viligying and victimizing 2 216 000+ Firearms owners will make the public any safer when in fact that the perpetrator did not have an PAL/RPAL, obtained his firearms illegally by smuggling them in from the US, shot and killed an RCMP Officer then stole her firearm and drove around in, by all appearances, an RCMP cruiser. They can not defend their position, this in turn will make them look like the idiots that they are. A Common Sense approach will turn the public against them. Any defense offered by them will appear weak, underhanded and malicious. Then make it clear that this is how this government does things. Everyone thinks it can't happen to them until it does.

[@Pinnned]

@captain crankypants Your attitude and the negativity that surrounds you is exactly why the Justso Turdos, his Libtards and the AntiGunners win every round. Rather than be a part fo the problem, and drag other people down, make positive suggestions on how to prevent, stop, or counter the BS being spewed by the uneducated fascists that are currently in charge. Maybe someone with a little bit of knowledge, and maybe money that believes in justice and equality sees the above, goes Hmmmmm, this guy might be onto something and take the ball and run with it? Maybe I win the next 50+ million and use some of that to do exactly as I have said? Until then, we need less bitching, moaning and whining and more positive cohesiveness with a solid united front. Maybe say a Go Fund me campaign to use for the counter culture and hate on by the Turdo, the Libtards and antigunners. Stay strong guy.

let me jump in at this point. I FUCKING HATE DUMBASS ARGUMENTS LIKE THESE. ASSAUKT SPOON, ASSAULT KNIVES BLAH, BLAH BLAH. Dumbass arguments like these accomplish nothing because they have no point, there is no logic to them and they have no coherence. The simple argument to be made is one of FACTS and DATA. Legally squired guns in canada account for statistically ZERO gun related violence. So realistically, banning any legal gun will have ZERO effect on gun violence. Banning guns will NOT affect the acquisition of guns for illicit purposes because statistically ZERO legally CANADIAN aquired guns end up in the hands of criminals. Guns are imported from China, the US and Mexico through cross border trade in trucking containers and smuggled across mostly in Quebec so those are the places to concentrate on. Making silly assault spoon arguments are infuriatingly annoying since there is a legitimate class of rifles called assault rifles. Its not some shit ignorant people made up . It a real class of firearms and its just as ignorant as the morons who are totally ignorant of the gun laws to be claiming that there is no such thing, because there is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle

Used let's say, a pickup truck with a covered box as a mobile platform, and installed a slit to sight though and used a bolt action rifle of high accuracy to randomly shoot people up to half a mile away. How much carnage could someone inflict if they did something like that? We know the damage the DC Sniper did. What would be the appropriate response? Should we then ban all bolt action rifles? The point is this: if people want to be violent, they will find ways to be violent. Banning the tools people use for violence will never stop the violence.

If the shooter went to the meticulous effort and extent of obtaining and disguising a replica police cruiser as well as masquerading as a police officer in uniform, I truly don’t think it is an unrealistic stretch to arrive at the conclusion that he would illegally obtain firearms or any other means to carry out his objective. Nor do I think any restriction of the law on whatever - take your pick - would have stopped him from his intent. When a criminal is motivated no law is going to stop them. How about we institute initiatives such as addressing violence like Mr. Giltaca mentions? How about we improve and boost mental health programs, or create solutions to allow ex convicts to reintegrate back into society and contribute to an honest living instead of relapsing back into a criminal lifestyle as is usually the case? How about we instill a sense of pride back into hard work, positive work ethic, and a good attitude that motivates our youth to maximize their potential instead of attraction towards a gang lifestyle? How about we work together to have open and productive discussion to improve our society instead of creating division? The options are as limitless as your imagination. Let’s get off our asses and get to work instead of being lazy, which in my opinion, is what this government promotes - being lazy and undisciplined. Message ends.

Previously the RCMP had a huge fight with the Denturist over a parking lot dispute where they damaged his parking lot chain. No list of what guns the guy used nor answers to so many other crazy narratives the RCMP continue to put out on the event. Meanwhile the guy of course burns the cars (no evidence left there) he appears minutes later miles and miles away in a gas station to pick up a pop? Look I don't doubt for a minute that people were killed. I have a really hard time believing this guy did it alone. RCMP have become so corrupt I don't doubt one bit they were the perpetrators of this whole false flag event cause mass casualties. Think people think! There are so many lies regarding this whole event, it boggles the mind. All to take your rights and property. To all non gun owners. Let me lay it out to you. You purchase a new truck and pay it off for $80,000 the gov will give you $20,000 for the vehicle and demand you turn it into the RCMP or you destroy it. In the end you have paid the full price of the vehicle and you are going to pay in taxes to buy vehicles back from millions of owners. Anyone see a problem here??? Time to draw the line in the sand over this whole false event carried out exclusively by the RCMP and Liberal Government. What better time to do this than when no witnesses are on the streets.

Some people in Canada think that a chef's knife is designed to kill. Others think (and have shown us) that cars are designed to kill innocent people. These two alone have been responsible for more than intentional firearm homicides. Personally I call these people mentally unstable. If you think that, in Canada, a firearm is designed to kill instead of having fun at the range, hunting, for work or competition, then I will agree to disagree with you (but I respect your opinion). I would rather see our government work on actual crime and the serious issues of our society where people feel abandoned and more alone than ever. Going after those that are background checked every 24 hours (that's right), have exemplary records and never committed a crime in their life is not the solution (in my opinion).

This conversation (THE TRUTH) needs to go on the streets to educate and sensitize the public not only on this subject but also, about what the real issues are in our current neoliberal - individualistic - class cabal - profit-driven social framework. Structural violence (poverty, unnecessary stress) coupled with there outcomes; (loss of self-esteem, mental illness, etc.) are the output generated and the problem. It will be tedious work, but it needs to be done to counter the false narratives that are currently being pushed with unfortunately the help of the mainstream media. it's really interesting to see that every time politicians fine themselves "the back against the wall" they tend to harass and disrupt the peace of innocent people, (in this case, law-abiding gun owners). They cowardly go head-on after everything but not the problem itself. I find this absolute mind bugling! So it is crucial to keep up with education because that, is the key.

Don’t watch one second of this video. I’ll give you the answer. “NO”. Removing legal guns from Canadian citizens will not stop criminals from perpetrating crimes. End of debate. Lol

April 23, 2018 there was an attack by someone driving a van on Yonge St in Toronto. Ten people were killed and sixteen injured, some critically injured. Should we ban the private ownership of vans? Banning guns about this is about the same.

[@skuterkid...]

Maybe do a study on what causes people to act in murderous or harmful ways, instead of just banning every damn gun in the country.

good job

How does one go about buying back something they never owned? And using your money to do it?

[@williamwinder3466]

You can not ban a person's capacity for violence. These laws do nothing, but good people in harms way.

Plz do something stop this ban

I urge everyone to read George Orwell's "Animal Farm". It's a short read (you probably can read it in one night), and although written in the 1940's is still very relevant to what is happening in Canada right now. The part I like the most is when the pigs write "all animals are equal" in their "constitution" at the beginning of the book but by the end of the book, the pigs (who symbolically portray the government) then (by their own version of "Order in Council") change the wording to "all animals are created equal but some are more equal than others"...

Justin must have wet his pants when this tragedy happened, he'd never let a good massacre go to waste.

Why don’t “mainstream media” outlets have intelligent discussions such as this?

[@helpAmerica1]

It's a good start !

How do laws ending legal firearm ownership stop a man from impersonating a Mountie and using illegally owned guns to kill innocents? The impersonation was already illegal, as was owning firearms illegally, and as was murder. Literally, not a single thing about the tragedy is being addressed with the new legislation. The only thing being impacted is firearms that were NOT obtained illegally, and were NOT used by someone impersonating a Mountie, and who did NOT commit murder. Is it Opposite Day in Canada?

[@curtwarkentin6167]

How about a ban on vehicles since Canada has had a few ram attacks and drunk driving deaths. That would reduce deaths in Canada far more than a gun ban.

banning a product based on its appearance vs what it's capable of doing by this gov't is the exact same idea that they used in dealing with tobacco. They banned flavours thinking that's the primary cause for what leads to lung cancer yet ignores the ingredients that goes into a cigarette! Like if you wanna do more for a person's health, why not ban the poisions and the benzene chemicals that are added to a cigarette!
