The damage is already done. The left have gone so far to ban nearly every firearm, put up barriers and fees for purchasing, use gun buybacks to get the poor less armed instead of reinforcing training or encouraging proper handling now the right are well armed and are filling the ranks of ICE to trample on Americans rights.
It’s not even that hard to get guns here in Canada. I do not get what this US gun idiocy is all about.
Also, its liberals doing those things, not the Left. I really wish Americans would take the 30 seconds it takes to learn the difference. Its absolutely exhausting to constantly have to correct and explain.
Canadian gun culture and American gun culture is very very different. Unless you are on a range or hunting, you cannot have your firearm loaded or even unlocked in Canada. Most guns are limited to 5 rounds in the magazine and there are strict regulations around barrel length. Canada also has a loose gun registry for many of the firearms sold. Canada doesn't have stand your ground or castle laws but genuine self defense is often okay after lengthy court processes.
True and fair.
