Rod Giltaca of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights had an excellent reply to the government introduction of bill C71.
Gun control in Canada is more about fluff than substance, adding more restrictions on someone like myself does nothing to stem gun violence. The root causes of gun issues here or anywhere in the world are multifaceted, there are no easy answers and I’d say it’ll take even longer than 10 years, it’d probably require a generational shift in thinking in order to persuade people to not take up a life of crime.
Better opportunities, a living wage & less systemic racism would go a lot more way in terms of solving gun violence than banning guns would.
