People kill people not guns, For example. When politicians attack guns they don’t have any acknowledgement about like the AR-15. It’s endangering people like my father who has it for self defence purposes and hunting, And before someone says you don’t need that 30 round mag to defend yourself. You do, and even if we could you can’t since there are strict magazine restrictions. Instead of attempting to ban more and more firearms, Ban mentally ill people from accessing these guns, Because at the end of the day. Banning a gun will just stop people from using and defending themselves with those guns, But a criminal wont suddenly think ‘ this gun is illegal I can’t use it ‘ before shooting up a school. They do not care, criminals Will always commit a crime because they do not care.
@9FSX2DD2yrs2Y
Criminals and bad people will always have access to restricted firearms, so banning hunting rifles and shotguns will only take the firearms out of the hands of the responsible owners.
@9FS8WGS2yrs2Y
People who need to hunt and survive on the wild game that they shoot and eat need guns. Guns are not made to shoot people and should not ever be used that way.
@9H2FBNN1yr1Y
because theyre pose the same threat as a physco with a kitchen knife, except hunting is a real hobby where guns r required
@9FH39G52yrs2Y
If legal gun owners cannot have their guns anymore than when they are in a dangerous situation (eg. shooter, assault etc) they are defenceless and more people will get hurt because bad people will still buy or steal guns illegally.
@9FVVVR52yrs2Y
people should be able to own guns in order to hunt for food and to protect themselves or ward off any intruders or animals. Guns should not be used against people, and they should never be used in that way.
@B462VDB4wks4W
In 2022, among the 113 homicides where information about the firearms was known, only 58 firearms were initially obtained legally. Among these 58 firearms, the accused was the legal owner in only 44% (24 cases) of the incidents. This is directly from stats-Can. Gun control only impacts the legal owners of firearms. I would argue that the 'dollars spent per lives saved ratio' would be higher with deterence programs, police budgets, and border security.

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.
@B3FT8D42mos2MO
People doing crimes with firearms are already not following the law. Sticter laws on firearms will not prevent these crimes, only harm law-abiding citizens.
@B3FHVJR2mos2MO
I do not trust the government officials that hide behind armed security to tell me what guns are not needed for hunting, let alone protection.
@B3FH3692mos2MO
Self defence is a human right and the government should not regulate weapons. Laws are reactionary in nature and thus should only punish committers of actual immoral acts such as violence and robbery, not people who simply have the capacity to commit an immoral act.
@B3DS2352mos2MO
Legal gun ownership has almost no bearing on violent crime and it's a misuse of resources to add restrictions to law-abiding sportsmen & hunters when we are not targetting the real sources of violent crime.
@B35FMYR2mos2MO
if the person has a criminal past and has it in the records should be controlled buta person with the proper training show be able to
That the guns used in criminal are already illegal there, for harder laws won't do anything without enforcement
@B265Y7M4mos4MO
Punishing legal registered gun owners does not stop illegal gun trafficking, street violence etc. criminals do not care about gun bans. They are not affected by them. It is only punishing the innocent people who, by the very fact of having a PAL, are subject to a daily criminal record check. It targets the wrong prople.
@9ZYTXVM5mos5MO
Gun control is innefective since criminals ignore regulation and will seek out frearms illegally whilst law abiding citizens lose their ability to bear arms.
@9ZXKX695mos5MO
A strong counterargument to the Yes position on gun control is that strict gun laws may infringe on individuals' constitutional right to bear arms, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment
@9YM4YHWConservative5mos5MO
Legal firearms have nothing to do with the issues. Trudeaus gun control didn't have a significant impact on gun related crime.
@9T3MJZJ8mos8MO
Canada already has pretty strict laws on guns, and doesn't suffer from nearly the amount of mass shootings as the United States. Any further restrictions would only harm legal owners.
@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.
@9M2559512mos12MO
i think that its the people that kill people not the gun as the gun is a machine it does not think or know what its doing its just functioning its the peoples fault that people are dying everyday to shootings
@9LTKHJ512mos12MO
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.
@9LSLZ2412mos12MO
Crime control not gun control. Gun control has historically allowed governments to abuse and enslave their populations.
@9LQMKD912mos12MO
Just like it isn`t the pencil's fault the student failed the test, it isn`t the gun`s fault it shot someone.
@9HXQKT41yr1Y
That people can be safe, but it's need to be regulated, with a rule that say that you can hurt just in case that you are in really danger, and if you use your gun must be in a part no mortal.
@9GTQ2291yr1Y
Gun control hurts proper gun knees more. People that commit crimes with them can obtain them illegally. Also, certain types of guns aren’t more dangerous than others
@9FM8TLP2yrs2Y
Felons don't care for the law. They are going to get their hands on guns anyway, or use other weapons.
@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.
@9F9QMK92yrs2Y
we can use the for hunting, protection and as a hobby there is not a single gun that cant be used for hunting
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.
@9ZDCKDQ 5mos5MO
why should those who go through the training and paperwork and process to get a firearm legally for those who don't follow again and obtain them illegally. Stricter gun control for those who have it legally doesn't help much for those who want it to use it for sport or etc and makes it harder for them to enjoy their hobby, meanwhile those who don't have good intentions with firearms would acquire them through whatever means.
@9ZBQ9W65mos5MO
Regulate and control illegal guns coming and presently in the country. The legally owned guns are regulated enough already
@9G9SPWJ2yrs2Y
My best counter to gun control being yes is, no because criminals get their guns illegally so if we ban guns we are just affecting the legal citizens that are gun owners.
I am okay with gun controls as long as citizens can still have a clear way to obtain AND CARRY guns even if it is slightly harder to do so.
@B4S7L3JConservative12hrs12H
We already have the most strict gun control laws in the world and most of the gun related deaths occur from illegal guns
@B4SFP925hrs5H
The gun holders carrying under correct licensing/registration aren't the issue, the criminals with illegal guns that aren't registered are. They will still get guns.
