Top Disagreement
sure i can see banning it if the person has a history of criminal incidents, but if it's a normal person who has gone through training we should allow more weapons.
@9G2J6662yrs2Y
I think a train indivual should have gun control but somone history with violence with weapons really shouldnt
@9FY5RRD2yrs2Y
Agree. Gun restrictions should be focused on background checks and making sure you give a permit to a qualified candidate
@9G32NHF2yrs2Y
If you see a person walking down the street with a gun and you don't know if that person has gone through the proper training and you would still feel unsafe
A large amount of weapons on the street are stolen or sold on the black market. No amount of training will prevent this from occurring
@9FGQ95GConservative2yrs2Y
So many school shootings, and any shootings. Lives are being lost and threatened almost everyday because of gun violence.
@9FVFZJTConservative2yrs2Y
more crimanals get there guns from smuggled guns from the states than gun stores and we should have the right to bear arms.
@B3G4FS3Conservative2mos2MO
AS A FIREARM OWNER, MY NAME GETS RAN THROUGH A DATABASE EVERYDAY TO SEE IF I'VE COMMITTED ANY CRIMES. WHEREAS THE AVERAGE CITIZEN DOES NOT. THAT WAS A CHOICE THAT I DECIDED TO AGREE WITH WHEN TAKING MY LICENSE TEST, PURCHASING AND OWNING A FIREARM.
@B3D7P6FConservative 2mos2MO
With the current bill against gun control it is targeting the farmers, hunters and the legal buyers of these firearms. We should be putting more spending towards border security and policing in Canada to stop the overflow of illegal weapons coming into Canada.
@B2F9F3NConservative3mos3MO
No to gun control, we already have a very strict system in place. Almost all crimes committed with a gun are from illegal guns. Focus on the illegal guns.
Gun control hasn't reduced the rate at which criminals obtain firearms. The majority are obtained illegally, often smuggled across the border from the US. Few are sourced directly in Canada, and are again sourced by criminal activity, such as theft. All gun control has done is infringe upon law abiding citizens who utilize firearms for work, defense of life and property, and assorted hobbies in relation to sport shooting or collecting.
@9YM4YHWConservative5mos5MO
Legal firearms have nothing to do with the issues. Trudeaus gun control didn't have a significant impact on gun related crime.
People who feel the need to own guns either want them for safety, or recreational use such as hunting. Hunting can be done with alternatives not as lethal as guns. Our country alsos strict laws against violence, on top of police who are there to protect citizens
@9MKBK8SConservative11mos11MO
The vast majority of gun crime is committed with illegally obtained guns by people without a PAL. law abiding citizens are wrongfully impacted by laws that don't reduce gun crime. Additionally, guns are used for sporting purposes and hobbyists.
@9M22DWCConservative12mos12MO
The amount of gun violence due to purchasing guns properly in Canada is very low. The reason for most gun violence is through illegal purchasing of guns, more should be done about the illegal people instead of the people who want to buy a gun to hunt or keep theyre home safe.
If you have to walk in fear of dying to someone with a gun that’s shows why guns shouldn’t be allowed.
@B4LX7S8Conservative1wk1W
We are not the states. It is not as easy as people think to purchase firearms in canada. Background and mental health checks already in place.
@9FGC62BConservative2yrs2Y
Guns and like weapons are not dangerous unless they fall into the wrong hands, felony convicted criminals should not have the right to own or possess a firearm of any sort. The banning of "AR" rifles is the most retarded thing Justin has ever done. Armalite Rifle Company are NOT " assault rifles, automatic rifles", or anything else.
@9FB6Y4BConservative2yrs2Y
Each and every person deserves to protect and defend themselves and the best and most prepared way to do that is to own and use a gun.
IF BAD GUYS HAVE GUNS,,, who will shoot the bad guys? police? like heck. they are busy making aborbies and eating donut. only good, patriot americans with machine guns will be shootin the baddies.
@B2CCNLXConservative3mos3MO
You have clearly never lived a person who has seen someone face off with a polar bear and watched one of them tank 5 rounds of 12 gauge and keep coming towards you. Guns with higher firepower are necessary to save your life. Politicians need to learn what the hell firearms are for, because basing bans off of how guns look is not helping.

The Toronto Police Department states that 95% of guns used in crimes in Toronto are handguns illegally smuggled across the border. Which means gun control measures only hurt legal gun owners. They're not the ones actually committing the crimes. Repeal every gun law since 2019.
