Nathalie Provost survived the Polytechnique massacre — and has spent every day since fighting to strengthen gun control. She knows: guns designed to kill people don’t belong on our streets. - ThreadSky

Pierre tells us that guns are a part of Canadian heritage. In my 44 years on this planet, I’ve never once thought, “You know what would make me feel more Canadian? A big ass gun.”

The first time in my 64 years that I thought, "I need a big ass gun" is when the orange menace threatened Canadian sovereignty. The.Very.First.Time. And I am still seriously considering it.

I’ve recently thought about getting a firearms license. I don’t own a gun, obviously. The only reason is because of what’s going on in the US.

reply

timlade.bsky.social•3 days ago

Given the ongoing and unending purge in the US, that tracks.

You’re not alone. If only to know how to use and… just in case?

I was also thinking of taking up archery, which seems a little more accessible.

As a Canadian who owns guns I am **strongly** in favour of strict gun control. Barriers to ownership (convicted of crime or domestic violence), extended training, background checks and extended waiting periods reduce the number of guns in the hands of the unstable and grievance-seeking.

Prime Minister and Nathalie:

My friend Annie Turcotte was one of the victims of a gun violence feminicide that night.

Three years ago, my 20 y/o son Olivier was the innocent victim of a gun violence homicide.

The devastating after effects ripple far and wide. Gun control saves lives.

It IS their job.
They are on the front lines.
So much work to do!

All people have the basic fundamental right to be armed with any and all types of weapons without restrictions.

Here are some 3D print files for making an SMG.

🇨🇦Guns are not what Canadians need. Sure for hunting that’s about it. Other than that they are used to kill. Pp thinks otherwise, with his parallel thinking with the trump admin the streets will be flooded with guns. Murders will explode, innocent victims will be murdered. Guns laws must be enforced🇨🇦

Weapons of war never belong on our streets. If it was made to specifically to kill humans, it doesn't belong anywhere but in the hands of a trained soldier.

These guns shouldn't be used to kill Palestinian children either, but you won't condemn that since you won't back up President Macron's decision to recognize a Palestinian state.

Do imaginary lines dictate what lives are worth it for you and the LPC?

We need Australian type gun control, with massive enforcement on the border, for individuals, for organizations, and especially for importers.

reply

privilegedpat.bsky.social•3 days ago

That hasn’t ended violence in Australia. Now people just stab each other instead. If you don’t address the root causes of the issues that are leading to violence, everything and anything can be a tool. if they ban knives, people will use hammers if they banned hammers people will use rope.

reply

ppickering.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’d be interested in the statistics about stabbings. Number of incidents, number killed, hospitalized. I’m guessing it’s an improvement, but I honestly take your point that the root causes need to be addressed.

reply

privilegedpat.bsky.social•3 days ago

This does nothing to address the issues of incels, misogyny, racism, and violence against women in Canada. It’s collective punishment for legal gun owners and performative politics. We don’t want American style gun culture here, we don’t want mass shootings either…
