I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lessen the gun violence/school shootings in the country.
@9FTWLZJ2yrs2Y
Hunting for recreational purposes is already hard enough due to posted land,and many rules like that, and gun control laws would only make it so much more difficult for families just trying to have fun hunting like mine, to have that option. It's what I grew up with but now hunting is almost a miserable time because it's so difficult not to break a law.
@9FFSJNV2yrs2Y
There should be gun control because if everyone is allowed to own a gun then no one is safe because anyone can shoot anyone at any given time.

I don't feel as safe in Canada as I would in the country my family lived before moving in here. In my country, I didn't face lockdown practices at school. Meanwhile, in Canada, I get to experience them once in two months.
@B247BW84mos4MO
This doesnt mean taking away guns at all, this means allowing for more control on deadlier weapons such as automatic weapons designed to kill alot within a short amount of time.
@9TGDVKNIndependent7mos7MO
yes, a gun is a lethal weapon it can either be used as a hobby a way to hurt people or a use for self-defence, but if the situation isn't extreme why take someone's life? there should be background checks to purchasing a gun to make sure the person isn't ill and has taken proper training on handling a gun. those who disagree don't like the extra safety when it comes to purchasing a lethal weapon. shootings are more likely to happen, as an example The United States Second Amendment allows them to "bear arms" which is exactly why they're on an all-time high when it comes to firearm homicides. it's either safety or the inconvenience of those who don't have the patience nor the ability to take proper responsibility for owning a firearm.
@9NQG3HV10mos10MO
Guns are just really dangerous weapons that require a lot of responsibility and discipline to use. Not many people have either of those, and use a gun for violence against people under the banner of "self defence" even if it is often times just really unnecessary.

99% of the firearms used in crimes in Canada come from the United States and are stolen or bought there and smuggled into the country
@9LQBT4Y12mos12MO
The vast majority of firearms used in crimes in Canada are stolen or bought in the USA and smuggled into Canada so the laws put in place restricting the ownership of firearms don't do anything to prevent these crimes.
@9GWL57S1yr1Y
Bill C-21 has been completely ineffective at lowering crime. In fact, gun crime has increased since the liberals were in power.
@9GSPHPS1yr1Y
If you really want to help stop violence with guns then make buildings such as schools or other open public places more secure with armed security or arm the citizens to take out threats. With armed citizens they can easily take out threats with their arms and not have to worry about more people getting killed.
@9FCFSCGConservative2yrs2Y
Guns don’t kill peopl, people kill people. Look what is going on in the uk knife violence is higher than any other country
@9GVK6XL1yr1Y
I think having more restriction on gun control can help in having less violent acts and less school shootings
@9FH6KQF2yrs2Y
Most illegal activity with guns comes from people who illegally got their hands on them, by enforcing the laws on people in the right, you are barely making it any harder for people in the wrong.
If gun was to be given who are unable to take care of it, then corruption will happen in the country.
@9F7FKS6Conservative2yrs2Y
Without gun control, the security of a nations is inevitably more at risk if unqualified people are able to get a gun.
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.
