Good subject Harry and there is certainly a lot to discussion about gun laws in this country. The vast majority of this nation believe in strong meaningful gun laws. This nation has shown it does not have the stomach for mass shooting like what happened in Nova Scotia last year and École Polytechnique massacre in 1989.
I for one am not in favor of a full on ban on handguns. New gun control legislation the federal government tabled today includes a national freeze on the purchase, sale, importation and transfer of handguns in Canada.
What I do like about the law is they included increasing criminal penalties for smuggling and trafficking of firearms, and a "red flag" law which would require people deemed a threat to themselves or others to turn in their firearms or have them removed by law enforcement.
Also included was a number of people would be exempt from the handgun restrictions, including elite sport shooters and those with authorization to carry, such as valuable goods carriers.
What it falls short is getting to the root cause of gun violence in our cities: illegal guns smuggled into Canada by criminal gangs.

Yes, Putin has alot to do with the current situation.  Who's dear friend is Putin?  HMMMMMM  (you know, the asshole who tried a coup when he did not win the election)   Let's not blame the current President for the mess that the previous seditious one (who, I might add should be in jail for treason, bribery, scam-ism, on and on and on) caused.

Why some folks think letting a con man, a b.s. master running things was a good thing for the country is beyond me... so we have a crappy situation, as happened after George W. Bush had 8 years to wreak havoc and then a mess was to be cleaned up.  See a pattern?  I sure do.
For today, I am going to say Fuck Putin.  May he rot in hell.     As for American politics, lord help us, cause we are going to need it, half the country is crazy foolish.  Dangerous times, and for what?   😪
As for the oil companies, if we had a moral, wise Congress that would actually work for the good of the people instead of their own pockets, laws would be passed to prevent such situations like we have today.  https://www.businessinsider.com/gas-prices-oil-company-profits-skyrocketing-energy-sector-earnings-charts-2022-5

Why are the energy companies making record profits? I think I found the main problem!

Ted, are you ok? Post what you want! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! I am not going to stop you or prevent you, it’s a free word. If You don’t want me to question anything and peg it as a “personal attack” on some random media personality then I won’t bother.
I have no concerns either way. The “ Trudeau is an asshole” is all yours.
Note: Harry, Trudeau is still an asshole… lol shout to you my friend lol 😂 

This is a discussion about gun control and how we should address tragedies such as this. Harry is American (red, white and blue) with Canadian ties and I can truly appreciate his insight, hell I encourage it. We all have an opinion regardless where we are from.
This is not a question of patriotism for no one here is questioning ones intent or trash anyone's home. If your patriotism is fragile then I would suggest not talking about, with respect of course.  Its just a chat between idiots about something we all can be passionate about.  

Im a dual citizen numb nuts and been part of XI since 2007. I will get you a pass since your an idiot like myself (lol). 

I’m sorry hear about your trouble my friend, my wife is immune compromised so we both wear a mask in public. I’m sympathetic to your situation for sure. 

Thanks to everyone's kinds words.  It helps to know there is people out there that truly understand.
Thanks my brothers and sisters in gaming.

Bahahaha Ron, you should run for office my friend lol. 

I have a Leather Bombers Jacket with a railroad map of Europe printed on the beige silk lining and a Ace and King Patch on the left chest and airbrushed artwork on the back that is older then this Tim Pool dude. I rarely take advice from people almost 1/2 my age who admit they left school at 14, didn't graduate early just dropped out. I am sure he missed some Civics and Government classes along the way. Speaking in front of a camera and saying things you know might generate a viewership base big enough to make money is not that hard these days. So what makes this dude so special, what is he a expert on? Just asking... For a hipster with a possible man bun he might be a ok guy??

God didn't write the Constitution and the men who wrote it believed strongly in the separation of Church and State and also believed it should be a evolving document. The Bill of Rights are those given by our Federal Government aka Old White Men 250 years ago not God or every Christian Country would have them as well. The Founders also specified a process by which the Constitution may be amended, and since it's ratification, the Constitution has been amended 27 times. In order to prevent arbitrary changes the process for making amendments is quite onerous. Now for those of you how didn't pass US Government in High School the "Bill Of Rights" can't be taken away for you by the Government. Meaning your Right to Bear Arms is safe however they can decide what types of guns you can purchase as a member of the general public like Automatic Weapons for example. If They decide to ban specific types or sizes of weapons in the future it has legal precedent and will stand in the Court and it will be done because your right to own a weapon of mass destruction is not as important as others right "To Life Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Children are seeing that going to school is not a safe place for them and no one will protect them even the police, do you think they are happy? Large crowds out for a game or a concert hear a loud noise and start running out of fear the sound is from gun shots, are they running away happy? Poor areas of big cities hear gunfire almost nightly even though they are law abiding people and feel the fear they may be shot in their home or neighborhood, are they living a life filled with happiness? Guns aren't made in the Hoods of America, gangs us guns made by well known gun makers and ammo made by well known companies that all know some of their products will end up in the hands of people who are going to break the law because where they live there is no opportunity to pursue a life and violence and crime in Big Cities adds to the argument for the needs for guns in rural America where there is less crime but more guns then humans. Flooding cities with weapons is part of their marketing strategy and cheaper on the streets than at a Gun Store. OH just FYI if you stockpile ammo and your house catches fire as soon as those rounds start going off your house is not going to be put out as the firemen retreat so it will likely be a total loss. I also hear that Insurance companies are not paying for homes lost that way just like living in the woods and not clearing brush around your home it is called mitigation responsibility. There are ways to have common sense gun laws and still own guns, but do you need 10 mags/clips for 1 weapon? 10,000 rounds for 1 gun? I don't think so. if you go hunting and can't hit what you are shooting at with 1 mag you need to stop and go to the range before you kill a hunter over the hill you can't see. If you go to the range is it really to much work to reload your clip? When you empty a full new box of ammo is it to much work to pick up your brass and reload it or turn it in when you buy your next box considering you will most likely be allowed to own more then just 1 box of ammo per weapon.
 

Tee-hee...
 

You nailed it Opto.  Too much self and not enough concern for others.  Add ignorance and misinformation to that and it can be deadly.  Then there are those who honestly think we are over this thing (I was a bit guilty of that myself and I got burnt.) and those are the major reasons we will never be over it until we get a lucky mutation or people wake up (not gonna happen)

Do what ever you can to be safe ! The hell with what people think

I just had covid. Caught it from work right after the removed the mask mandate. There are 47 people on the shift. Week 2 11 had caught covid. Week 3 15 had covid. Week four everybody else had it. I gave it to the Wife. We both have 4 shots I had a reLLY bad throat I think i hurt it and the wife 4 weeks later  a smoker is still getting over it. So its still here and I hope by opening this crap up the rest of the world will catch it and get over it. On the kinder side of things I hope eveybody who cathces it now is well vaciated. Those who are not sorry but we tried real hard to let you know. Freedom has a cost always folks
 

Amen brother.👍
