He wants to play to his base. Canadian licensed gun owners are overwhelmingly not the problem.
US border porosity is.
This is a wedge issue. Cons lock up the gun vote which is larger than you think, especially in rural areas.
The Libs lockup the antigun vote popular in urban areas and especially Québec.
Both parties have abandoned "good government" policies, with over and under reach respectively while ignoring the real issues.
If you want to tackle gun crime, that 2 billion Fentanyl Czar and Hellicopter patrol needs to be chasing drugs AND guns. It's the same people, using sthe same methods. We also need to build more prisons and jails so violent offenders don't get the "commit another crime while on bail from the last one".
Libs and Cons need to stop playing wedge politics and do their duty to grounded, evidence based legislation that doesn't flip flop and turn innocent gun owners into paper criminals or wastr money buying back legally acquired guns that were never used in crimes or by criminals.
This is the key problem.
Canadian parties don't come up with broad, well considered policies to solve a problem. Instead, they have a portfolio of individual policies designed to attract different demographics at election time.
This comment ignores the fact that legal guns still increase deaths in Canada.
Everything increases deaths in Canada. Cars, food, chemicals. Evidence based policy means you tailor the response to the problem. Legal firearms are a fart in a hurricane and doesn't warrant the disproportionate bans and buybacks while ignoring the real problems of smuggling and crime, especially repeat criminals.
A whole lot of whatboutism. We should regulate things that are dangerous and not sit on our hands doing nothing. Canada is way better off without guns.
Ad-hominem when someone wants to take away your emotional support pistol? Not a good look.
Hypocrisy when dishing ad hominems yourself rather than tackling crime or crime guns with evidence based policy.
The evidence shows that gun ownership is positively correlated with more deaths. Your selfish wants does not override everyone's safety.

Pathetic response that sounds like a veiled threat.
No. I want you to go away, for precicely these irrational associations.
You cannot compare American gun juggling dipshit society, with Canadian licensing storage and usage regulations and a culture of general safety and collective cohesion.
