No

as soon as you start to control the sale of guns, it only stops the people who use guns for self-defense or hunting to buy them. criminals will always obtain them weather its legal or not

take me for example i use a gun to hunt deer, turkeys etc, I have taken all the safety courses and know the limits and rules. but for somebody to not know thats what ruins it so everyone should know basic gun rules and if they have mental problems not be allowed to fire one

Legal gun owners go through training and back ground checks.like a legal driver they have been trusted to abide by the laws. Punish those who own guns without a license but legal gun owners should be allowed to carry a hand gun in the woods and shoot a semi automatic (clip limitations)

The RCMP has stated they are not concerned with legal gun owners. Criminals will always find a way to get guns but punishing law abiding citizens makes no sense

there should be less restrictions being fairly exspaensive to own a gun and having to renew every 5 years

Legal Gun owners in canada are mostly hunters or the odd sports shooter. Not criminals, they get illegal guns.. That's the main issue, it's always been the main issue with guns. No laws will change that!

If someone, and I'm just saying this out of the blue, if some nut job from far away attacks our country, then we need police officers and law enforcement to counter the attack.

Gun control is only a bandaid fix to the mental health crisis and violence.

To make a compelling case against gun control, one might consider several arguments, including constitutional, practical, and historical perspectives

The law abiding citizens with firearms are not the indivuals committing firearm related crime and shouldn't be punished by anecdotal evidence.

I am Native, I am from the Cree nation. My people have used bows and arrow to hunt, are they going to ban our culture too? Think about it.

in switzerland people have acces to gus just they need strict background checks before they can buy them and there are much less shootings there than the US showing that its the people killing the people not the gus

There will not be less violence in the streets if guns are banned because people will just get them illegally.

if someone is being robbed or threatened, they should have the right to carry a firearm to protect themselves instead of having nothing to defend themselves with. if the carrier of the firearm is using it in a way it shouldn't be, it should be illegal and the person should be taken to court.

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

We are law abiding citizens of this country and I have the right to hunt and provide for my family and no government is going to come take my guns. Period!!!

Switzerland has very solid gun control and people can still own guns without it being politicized heavily

Just take a look on YouTube videos and their comments on some robberies in Canada or the United States, a gun can deter armed criminals.

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.

gun violence has only increased over the past 10 years despite the many new gun policies put into place. other then that there are many causes to gun violence that ARE NOT the guns themself. if we banned guns entirely people who want to commit mass murder would b left with more dangerous options, such as driving into crowd with a car or creating bombs and killing many many more people than they would with a gun.

Most gun crimes in Canada aren’t committed by registered gun owners but criminals who have gotten a gun illegally

Bill C-21 has been completely ineffective at lowering crime. In fact, gun crime has increased since the liberals were in power.

People that plan to do illegal things with guns, I don’t believe they often obtain them legally. So putting restrictions will just reduce the amount of people that want to hunt. Hunting and sport shooting is an activity that brings people closer together.

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.

Guns don’t kill peopl, people kill people. Look what is going on in the uk knife violence is higher than any other country

I think that people should be allowed to own firearms because a firearm is a tool that is used for many things such as hunting for food , for protection and recreational use. It is unconstitutional to take this away peoples lively hoods from them. However background checks are important before purchasing a firearm but the federal government should not be allowed to do what they are doing

the liberals have no idea what they are talking about because the guy who wrote the law has no idea about guns or hunting.

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.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/20/us/everytown-weak-gun-laws-high-gun-deaths-study/index.html , shows states with gun laws that allow consumers to legally buy firearms have less gun deaths than the opposition.

you know im right. BABIES are being ABORBED and using GUNS to take REVENGE ON THEIR PROUD, AMERICAN, PATRIOT MOTHERS by SHOOITNG THEm

no one should be penalized for other peoples misuses of their firearm when most firearms obtained and used in crimes aren't acquired legally. As well as a weapon is only as dangerous as the person who handles it. Most people that want to use firearms for sport, hunting and etc go through proper training to safely handle weapons and that being said the average responsible individual is the only one who suffers from the gun control laws and stricter ones at that.

If someone broke into my house, I would definitely want a gun to protect myself. In times like this, the police response time while good most likely isn't going to be fast enough and i'm not going to be intimidated in my own house. even with the freeze on handguns now, there are still shootings that happen with handguns. In years 2021-2022, 890 firearms were seized at the Canada border. That's only the ones they caught. The actual number of illegal firearms making it through the border would be way higher than that. By taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, it will just take away the ability for them to protect themselves which would inevitably lead to an increase in crime like we are currently seeing.

When looking at gun crimes, you will see that the majority are committed by criminals, not by hunters, sport shooters, hobbyists, etc. A good example is the UK, which has gun violence even tho nearly all guns are banned there, aside from a few hunting rifles/shotguns.

No we shouldn't ban guns because criminals get guns illegally so the law of banning guns only affects that legal gun owners.

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.
