In other news…Canada bans sale of new guns

[Anonymous]

I saw this randomly on Twitter. Wonder why it’s not bigger news in the US. Not that this move by liberals in Canada is going to change anything here in the US, but it’s still interesting.


Regulations prohibiting the sale, purchase or transfer of handguns within Canada took effect on Friday, as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the measure builds on earlier efforts banning handgun imports.

The handgun freeze was announced in May alongside proposed legislation that would implement the nation's strongest gun control measures in 40 years as part of Trudeau's plan to tackle gun violence, his office said.

The market will simply go underground. Weapons will still be sold and transferred and, now, even harder to track.

But they will all be criminals now.

A legal definition that means nothing to people motivated to acquire a gun.

Except so many of our mass shootings the purchases were legal, or they had someone buy them legally. Like the I Uvalde shooter who waited until his 18th birthday.

Heron is illegal. Cocaine is illegal. Human trafficking is illegal. Yet, they all proliferate underground.

If new firearm purchases were outlawed, they would simply move underground as well. People who wanted a gun could find one.

Reducing gun violence involves looking at how we glorify gun violence in our nation, and how a small group of people make billions of dollars each year by marketing movies, games, and other media products that identify killing people with guns as "cool."

Easy. Apples to oranges. Different country, different history, different system of government, and different cultural mindset re: firearms.

You think the kid in sandy hook would’ve gone to nyc to buy an AR on the street?!

Must be hard using a car to mow down people on crowded street. You act like people will stop lashing out if they don't have access to a gun. Are we gonna ban knives, cars, and home made weapons.

Also, what about all of the suicide????????? That is so common in our country.And it has been proven that when access to lethal means is reduced, suicides are reduced.

It may sound counter intuitive, but it is absolutely known. Many suicides are impulsive.

Lots of different methods of suicide exist.
