PolySeSouvient says Liberals, Bloc Québécois are Canada’s best options for gun control
Liberals are Canada’s best option for gun control: advocacy group
Canada already has good gun control. We've had it for decades. Very, very few lawful gun owners commit crimes with their guns.
The last government has been great at announcing ever longer lists of guns to ban but has yet to seize a single one. The list gets longer, the date it takes effect keeps getting pushed out too.
Focus on the source of guns used in crimes: our neighbors to the south. Performative bans of experimental guns and historic rifles makes no one safer.
Good thing dealing with our neighbours to the south is part of the Liberals' plan this time (including as part of their gun control plan).
Is it? All I see in the article is talk about broader bans, nothing about addressing the border or smuggling.
I had learned it from watching Carney's campaign speech, but here's the CBC write-up.
Key elements regarding America include upping resources for CBSA to stem the flow of illegal guns and drugs, having the RCMP classify new models of guns rather than manufacturers themselves, and increasing funding for RCMP ballistics labs to help trace the source of guns used in violent crime.
The best thing that came from the gun control bill the liberals passed was giving municipalities the right to ban ownership of handguns and gave more powers to the police to help stop gun trafficking throughout our nation from the USA.
