Banning firearms for people convicted of violent crimes makes sense and should be fully enforced. Restricting the use of firearms for law abiding hunters/sport shooters isn’t going to help the current crime stats and firearms being smuggled in by criminals.
@B2R4M5D3mos3MO
Most crime by guns in Canada isn’t legal gun owners and on average they commit less Crime than the average RCMP officer, not to mention making a problem out of the law abiding citizen will only foster content. Also most people making the gun laws know next to nothing about guns to begin with.
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
@9P4ZL4V10mos10MO
People using guns for violence and crimes aren't buying them legally so making it harder to buy guns helps no one, and self protection should be allowed because as the laws are right now People aren't allowed to defend themselves in any way that would work against someone with a gun.

Statistics by PewResearch.org show that suicides accounted for more than half of all U.S gun deaths in 2021. With 53 percent of gun deaths by suicide, 43 percent by murder, and 3 percent from other causes. This statistics just shows how allowing guns and easing gun control would link to more death, especially, suicides for a nation.

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.
@9JY922S1yr1Y
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. As long as we have the right people getting guns then there is no problem. Banning guns will only make a black market making it easier for people who shouldn’t have guns to get them
@9H2QR8S1yr1Y
People should be allowed to purchase weapons to defend themselves and their property, along with going hunting.
@9GTKZSV1yr1Y
Stricter gun control laws in Canada contribute to our country being safer and the government could do even more to prevent violent crime in Canada by also funding social programs in at-risk communities.
@B4JQSTVIndependent1wk1W
Gun control is a spectrum. We've had gun control for decades already. Bans don't work with the USA as our neighbour & 3D printing becoming more popular. The OIC bans which were passed after the Halifax incident would not have affected the Halifax incident at all.
@9GM2H241yr1Y
Simply look south across our border to the USA. Their kids don't feel safe at school for a reason, it's not because they're afraid of strick gun laws. They live the consequences of loose gun restrictions.
@9GGCZP61yr1Y
If people don’t have guns, there’s no chance of them hurting anybody. If guns were illegal, nobody would ever be in danger gun damage.

With a proper criminal record check showing no violent crimes. Someone who passes the criminal record check and a comprehensive gun handling course, individuals should be able to own and use whatever weapon they are qualified to use.
