Remember that these are the guys who said that they were preparing to fight UN and/or Chinese troops who might invade Canada?

Now their lawyer says that they were used for hunting? Was she taking about the pipe bomb or the handguns?

I don’t see a single trigger or cable lock in that photo. Was the ammunition stored in a separate locked container?

These guys should never be allowed to own a firearm again based solely on the UN/China delusion. These types of violent collective fantasies are extremely dangerous and they absolutely should be disqualifying.

    …assault…

    Did I say the word, “assault”?

    … do the same thing with a wooden stock…

    And yet they don’t. That’s because responsible, non delusional gun owners don’t load a bunch of guns and thousands of rounds of ammo into a trailer and take it to a “peaceful” protest.

    If you’re buying a gun for how it makes you feel then you shouldn’t be buying a gun. I’ve owned guns continuously for 40 years. My 15 year old son just completed his CFSC with an overall score of 98 out of 100. We are gun people. I’m not anti gun by any stretch of the imagination. I’m very much anti the wrong people owning guns and people who stockpile military style weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition are the wrong people.

      Way to gatekeep gun ownership. Everyone needs to choose guns based on your criteria, let’s ban everything else, huh?

        82% of Canadians supported the changes to the firearms regulations. 66% currently want stronger gun control. I’m not, “gatekeeping” anything. I’m discussing the reasons for what’s going on. Labeling anyone who says anything you don’t like a, “gatekeeper” or a Fudd diminishes the value of anything you have to say.

        Why don’t you instead try to explain why you need the prohibited version of a firearm instead of the functionally identical non-restricted version?

        Or try to explain why you don’t want to use the exact same prohibited firearm if it’s coated hot pink?

        The gun lobby makes such a big deal about banning firearms based on their looks. Explain why looks are your criteria for selecting a firearm.
