Tasha Kheiriddin: Die Liberalen sind sich bewusst, dass Waffengewalt nur zur Schau dient – das ist der Punkt; Der „Rückkauf“-Pilot brachte von 16 Leuten nur lächerliche 25 Waffen ab

isn’t 25 better than none? What was the metric they were hoping for?
It’s trash scrap it along with bill C21
Are they rattled that there wasn’t more to show for this? I thought they were happy keeping their guns.

How much did the project cost?
Ppg – (price per gun)
-already know, absolute failure.
Someone sure likes to make a big deal about it. If you don’t want to participate in the buy back then don’t. But also don’t keep beaking off about it, nobody cares!
We are simply not a serious country anymore. Our public safety minister would rather burn our tax dollars on this Quebec vote snatch crap than actually save lives. Imagine 740 million being used to combat gun smuggling, or for health care transfers or boosting our military.
The average cost of the pilot was $6000 per gun to seize guns from people who were never going to commit a crime to begin with. Even if you’re a criminal you’re barred from participating in the program because you need a PAL in good standing. So it’s literally only targeting people who don’t plan to do anything nefarious.
All the problems plaguing this country and we have the same old liberal party doing the same old optics song and dance to look like they’re doing something while everything gets worse. 🤦🏽
„so the whole program was a failure and just for security theatre?“
„Well thats your opinion“
This is to be expected, the entire LPC is about optics. We’ve had alot of announcements under the new govt., but afaik not a single inked trade deal of substance, no major changes to the TFW policy, no financial transparency and more debt. RIP Canada
25 less assault style rifles out there. That strikes me as a win, better than one Ecole Polytechnique foo(s)
The biggest issue facing Canadians today
They’ve always known it was just for show, it’s security theater
It doesn’t matter. It has always been for show. The May 2020 OIC was for show and to damage Canadians. Everyone knows and no one cares.
You are ruled over by liars who spit in your face and smile at you because they know there is nothing you can do about it.
National pastime:
Virtually signalling + photo ops
The buyback and the national handgun freeze were ridiculous when they were initiated. The stats don’t remotely back it up and our own safety minister thinks it’s ridiculous.
So winning votes in Quebec, while alienating the entire west (mostly) outside of cities?
Not a single firearm owner I know plans to turn in their firearms.
Professional money wasters and gaslighters
Even if you buy every legal gun back from every citizen, what are you going to do about illegal guns from the US? That’s the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about. This is why state gun laws don’t work. It’s not like states have enforced borders, and even if they did, guns would still be smuggled in.
The only solution would be to literally elminate all guns in the Americas which we all know isn’t going to happen.
They’re not „disarming Canadians“ if only 25 guns made it through.
There are many more people and guns than that.
As a left leaning Progressive independent I even thought the gun by back program was a total sham, I feel safer on our streets as a Canadian than anywhere if I was on American streets.
Do we have gun crime in Canada yes is it comparable to our neighbors in the states, hell no there’s a mass shooting every day in the states.
So, why are people freaking about it?
I’m someone who doesn’t own and has never owned a gun.
With all the madness going on South of us I don’t think it’s a terrible thing to have our population moderately armed at the moment.
I struggle to see the logic, even strictly as a piece of political theater. You would think that even single-issue anti-gun voters would have been satisfied with much tighter licensing standards rather than banning random models of firearms. This ’solution‘ manages to be both worse policy and a worse strategy for buying votes. It really just demonstrates a fundamental inability to govern or strategize effectively.
I bet they had 16 aids „obtain“ those guns a week before the program started
I really don’t get why Carney didn’t dump this as he’s been acting closer to the centre. Seems like an easy win instead of keeping something with a high potential for an ArriveCan/Phoenix style egg-on-face scenario (if they aren’t there already).
How funny would it he if carney scraps it and provost crosses the floor lol
If you are a gun owner and keep voting for the Liberals then I’m afraid the prognosis for the melon matter resting atop your shoulders isn’t very good….
Forfeiting my right to own firearms also resulted in my bodily autonomy being forfeit in the psych ward, so if you have guns, shut up about them and don’t let ANYONE take them away from you.
The Canadian government is practically bought out by the CIA, has been for decades. Why do you think they built oil refineries and all that shit in the States instead of here to process our own oil? And so on and so forth, an entire society once proud, rendered so badly incompetent, I can’t explain the stupidity of clowns like Marlaina or Poilievre or Trudeau Jr. or Carney, unless they were bought out to sell out Canada piece by piece, while the Liberals are controlled opposition to the Conservatives and otherwise work with the conservative „Annex Canada“ agenda.
We’re a goddamn resource colony and now the Yanks are lifting the curtains as the show ends, to show us the brick wall of annexation for our resources.
So if the gun buyback is just for show, why would people be upset by it? The government can earmark billions of dollars that won’t ever be spent, Quebec can be happy that the government appears to care about gun violence, and gun owners can be happy that the government isn’t taking any actual measures to restrict their gun ownership.
It was always performative.
You got a government with a low approval rating and then you have a large shooting in your east.
Couple that with masses terrified of gun violence, amplified by the cesspool that is the states, whilst being completely unaware of what gun ownership and violence looks like here.
It’s such an easy “win” for your approval to institute harsher gun laws that change nothing and upset few.
But then you don’t account for the leverage this gives your opponents as the people rightfully get upset for unjustly losing rights….
Yeah short wins with long term consequences sounds par for the course for the Trudeau era government…
If your a liberal voter and truly against this waste of tax payer dollars please write to your local member of Parliament and let them know to scrap the program and allow owners to use their property again.
