Matt Gurney: Wir sollten wahrscheinlich aufhören, unseren zukünftigen bewaffneten Widerstand zu entwaffnen

  1. Every successful confrontation of American forces has been lead by armed peasant and worker populations. It makes absolutely zero sense to not be giving MORE arms and organizing worker militas, but the government is scared of armed workers. 

  2. > The choice before us is simple: we can proceed with a moronic policy proposal that the government clearly doesn’t believe in, or we can do things that will actually make this country stronger and more resilient in a world that is, as the PM has noted, rapidly changing in ways that threaten our security and survival. We cannot do both of these things at the same time, as they are in direct opposition to each other. We cannot disarm our armed resistance.

    Gurney is right that these two policy goals are fundamentally at odds. If our security depends on an armed insurgency, is actively confiscating firearms from the people we’ve vetted and trained to use them the right move?

    This buyback is very much a luxury issue, and it’s clear that the government itself doesn’t really believe in it. Stop wasting time and money and cancel it.

    Getting some mixed messaging here from the anti-gun control side.  

    Are these totally innocuous tools meant for hunting or are they weapons of war meant to inflict mass casualties on human targets?

    Reverse the bans, remove restricting / prohibiting things in name only. Quit kicking things down the road. Legal owners have kept these things locked up for years now. Let’s see some pragmatism and end this.

  5. I suspect there’s little overlap in the Venn diagram of Canadians who currently own guns and those who would fight a US invasion. ~~Polling says about 50% of Conservative voters would welcome them.~~ (Edit: possibly fake poll.)

    I‘m all in favour of kicking off a vastly expanded trained reserve force with arms stored at home like the Swiss, though.

  6. It hasn’t helped the US they can’t even protect them from themselves. If we want to increase our militia presence there are militia units you can join. We don’t need independent militias or cosplay soldiers wandering around. In the US they are known as ICE. If you want to serve your country I applaud you and appreciate you . Join our armed forces. Buying an assault style rifle is not serving your country.

    Make basic gun training and discipline a part of secondary education. You don’t have to have macho open carry in public nonsense to have a population that knows how to use a rifle responsibly when the need arises.

    Personally, I’d need to see the data on how many firearms per household exist and what kinds of firearms are being purchased and what condition. In my head it actually makes sense for the government to collect as many guns as possible for strategic distribution in preparation for an attack.

    I wonder how the US military will handle someone who hunts having a gun in their home that doesn’t want to risk their life. Judging by the American track record, probably not well.

    So really, coordinated arms dispersal amongst known militia forces would probably be more effective than randoms scattered having arms that they may not want to use against humans.

    Just because someone hunts or owns a gun doesn’t mean they’re willing to kill another person if given the choice.

    We should probably ~~built~~ build a military and robust defensive systems. I am not going to make a comment on the gun buy-back, but I do think it’s funny when people claim these weapons are sufficient for modern warfare. The average type of weapon available to Canadians, even Americans, won’t be effective in combat with an advanced military. It’s not the 18th century anymore.

    It’s a very click-bait article. And it worked, I clicked.

    The problem with the ban-and-buy-back scheme is not that it would “disarm Canadians”. It includes a tiny fraction of Canadian firearms, and despite whatever “Yanke-Dawn” scenario you might want to dream up, I don’t imagine a few thousand extra guns, in a country with millions of firearms, will make a difference one way or another.

    (But by all means, let’s add a CF course on making the best car bombs).

    The problem with the program is that it’s administratively unworkable, (possibly deliberately so), based on a list of specific models without any underlying logic as to the set of characteristics to be prohibited. And it grafts an Americanized gun culture debate onto a Canadian reality that just doesn’t fit.

    We don’t really have a problem of legally purchased firearms being used in criminal activity. It’s overwhelmingly illegal American guns.

    And we don’t have a problem of unregulated purchase, and easy access to firearms, where just anyone can acquire a firearm. The standards for the RPAL are pretty high actually.

    So what problem is the program actually designed to solve, besides a political problem for the Liberals, who love to use America culture war politics for votes?

    This is about way more than just gun ownership.

    A big part of our identity as Canadians is being the better version of the USA, which results in having the opposite policy on a lot of subjects.

    But by far, the largest pillar is rejecting what we perceive as being a broken, overly militant and hyper-individualistic culture.

    If we really want to have such a resistance ready, we’re pretty much going to have to embrace everything we vilify the Americans for. And I sincerely doubt anyone would be able to lead such systematic change.

  12. We should stock up guns and drones to prepare for the worst. If anyone gets physically aggressive on us then we open the gun shops. 18+ no criminal record, 2 witnesses.

  13. To support the armed resistance concept and maintain citizen safety:

    -make 5.56 and 7.62 caliber weapons accessible.
    -continue to restrict magazine size
    -continue to restrict concealable weapons (pistols, barrels less than 18.5″)

    If things go south, 300+ reserve units have access to the 30 round STANAG magazines and Nato rounds.

    At best, a civil war is incited, more likely both sides suffer casualties with the same conclusion. A Citizen reserve force is in the works. 300,000.

    the simple truth is no one in power thinks america will actually invade its just a strategy to keep the common folk riled up to win votes

    its being utilized extremely well by the current government

  15. ParagonRenegade on

    Canada needs to form a citizen militia with people trained in basic survival skills, operation and maintenance of firearms, sabotage and concealment, and to give them a proper service weapon.

    Recent events have made it abundantly clear that continuing to disarm and not prepare for a threat in plain sight is a bad idea.

    Those armed and regulated militias are doing absolute WONDERS in fighting tyranny and injustice to the south of us right now! Barely anyone dying in the streets under the boots of government thugs.

  17. IrishFire122 on

    Many people are happy with the direction Canada is now taking. Armed resistance to you is armed insurrection to us.

  18. It seems that the current government is slow walking the whole process and their heart is not in it, but need it for a small part of the anti gun base. Would like to hear from someone WHO HAS ACTUALLY LOST THEIR GUNS.

    But the guns are a big part of the anti libtard maga maple. They wouldn’t want to have the facts disrupt their discourse. Hmmmmmmm who does that sound like.

    Before everybody piles on, I genuinely would like to hear from actual humans who have personally experienced gun loss, not anecdotal stories.

  19. UnionGuyCanada on

    I would be far more worried about a guy woth a large hunting rifle or a shotgun then the guns they are banning.

      If Ukraine has taught us anything, it is that drones are the future. Our armed resistance will be mass drone production, not some locals with almost assault weapons. 

      Quit trying to bring 2A to Canada.
