What? I'm not a leftist who plays the blame game. I'm a law and order person. The laws are clear and easy to follow. Do you know what the CPC is? The Conservative Party..... I would assume that if an indo-Canadian was wearing a turban it would be because they were a Sikh. I don't give a crap about turbans. They don't bug me. If ppl want to ride motorbikes with a turban on I think that the Indian community earned that right when they fought on our side, in WWII, wearing turbans instead of metal helmets. I've said as much here before. There's one reason to yell to allah when you commit a murder, and that's because you think that you are in his good graces at the time. Do you think that when a pedophile priest has sex with a little boy he yells "Hey God, check this out!!!!"

Agreed, but the worst thing that can ever happen to you is for another human being to have absolute power over you. You'd be better off vs a shark or a bear because you just die quickly. I live in a two storey house. We have an alarm. If someone breaks in and stays on the main floor, steals some TVs while the alarm is going off, the police can try to track them down, and I'll have an insurance claim to get a new TV. I'm not even going to get involved. If someone came to the top of the stairs, after they were warned, I would assume that they were there to attack my family.

Depends who you are lol. I think this guy with his single-action revolver would beat any NYC punk with a Glock semi-auto.

Just like the abortion debate has lost all sense of reason at both of the far ends of the spectrum, the gun debate lacks a lot of sense at both ends too. - Leftists are correct - a 30 round mag is not necessary, especially in Canada where armed militias aren't a part of the constitution. They haven't been for a long time though (if they ever were) and this round of legislation had nothing to do with that. - Leftists are correct that assault weapons should be illegal, and they already were, long before last Friday. Leftists never thought about the fact that when criminals know that people may or may not have guns in their homes, it makes them less likely to commit home invasions. If there were no guns in Canada then home invasion would be a huge problem. Basically any dude over 250 lbs with reasonable low body fat could go home to home with impunity, armed with just a bat. There are a lot of homes with just seniors, or just a woman and her kids, or a small guy from accounting who can't bench 100 lbs.... The fact that there are 10M homes in Canada with guns in them is a HUUUUUGE deterrent to home invasions.... far more than police. People never shoot home invaders here either. It's never necessary. No one ever wants to get into a gunfight so that they can steal or protect a tv. - Gun owners are right: the NS shooter had absolutely nothing to do with gun control laws. - Gun owners are right: legally-owned guns are an extremely low risk to Canadians, probably 20th on the chart of murder weapons. - Gun owners are right: there are lots of ways to kill a bunch of people, and truck attacks and bomb attacks have had far higher body counts than guns. Trudeau doesn't have a clue wtf is going on. He's just pandering to the group of people who were brainwashed by American propagandists (who probably have a far more reasonable case than our anti-gun crowd does).

Semi-auto SGs are actually necessary for the the of skeet shooting that some people do. A break action shotgun, ie dbl barrel, isn't fast enough to hit 3 targets. A pump is fast enough, but when you pump it you lose your aim briefly unless you're an actor in an American movie. Semi-auto or you can't compete. But yeah, a semi-auto SG loaded with 00 buckshot would easily be just as effective as a fully-automatic rifle for a psycho in a large crowd. Then again, so is a truck, and in a truck you have a better chance of escaping. You'd just have to switch vehicles. Psychos can't really be stopped imo, unless you get the scoop beforehand.

Yes, they are entirely wrong lol. The gun used was totally illegal and Republicans never tried to make it legal. Not even the NRA wants that gun legalized. Also, Republicans don't advocate for violence against homosexuals or any other Americans, let alone murder. What the Pulse shooter did was in-line with the traditions of several ME countries, where his family is from, and with the traditions of his religion of choice. He yelled platitudes from his religion. He made a point of spelling out his reasons, crystal clear. If an Indo-Canadian wears a turban it's not likely because of something to do with the CPC. More likely it's because of his religion or his parents' culture. If someone killed your child Marocc, would you want the attacker to take the blame, and serve the punishment, or would you be OK with the CBC or a group of people from a different city assigning the blame to whomever they wanted? IMO it's extremely to put blame where it lies, you owe it to the 49 dead people. For CNN and the LGBTQ community to use the deaths of those 49 people for political spin is the same as spitting on their graves. Those dead people deserve at least to have their story told.

A one party state can effectively be bought with about $1.395B Cdn taxpayer dollars in the hands of the right media outlets. You can create quite the sycophant horde out of the dumbest 50% in a country when you have the media eating out of your hand. The other parties become irrelevant when the media outlets all propagate your lies, as with gun control, and lie to make fools of the opposition. I don't know what the actual cost would be in the US but the Dems seem to have paid it in full if the crowd around here is any indication.

Agreed. I don't doubt that sometimes they're right, but there's a statute of limitations on things for a reason. It's too easy to make these types of accusations where the alleged perpetrator really has no defence at all. Police: "Where were you on the night of Thursday Sept 23rd 1993?" Me: "Thanks for saying Thursday, that really narrows it down. I still don't have a fucking clue though." Police: "Were you at Kits Pub in New West?" Me: "50/50. But I didn't sire no ugly bastards like you. The ugliest girl I ever had sex with was still way better looking than your partner here. (No offence.)" Police: "I don't think you know how this works. We're not allowed to abuse native girls or beat up black guys anymore, so I've already gone through 8 stress balls this week. Crackers, on the other hand, are fair game now. I could really get into this." Me: "OK, ok, I'll play your game. I have no clue where I was last Thursday, I certainly don't know where I was 27 years ago." Police: "Do you have any witnesses that you weren't at Kits Pub?" Me: "Well now that you ask I did create an airtight alibi for the night in question, for no real reason, so yeah I have like 20 of them. I was at your mom's place with my hockey team." Police: "Dude, you're gonna be uglier than Rue when I'm done with you." Me: "Damn, what do you have there? A brick bat?" OK, even I have to admit, I seem like I'm pretty guilty of whatever it was that I could potentially be investigated for. Maybe staying ahead of the law is harder than it seems on tv.

This is what the left wing media and alt-leftists idiots blamed the Pulse Nightclub shooting on:

Dude, if you judged CNN by that standard they'd be so far underwater they'd be surfacing on the other side of the earth and I'm not even kidding. 3 full years of nothing but lies about Russian collusion, 6 months of lying about Ukrainian collusion, 4 months of lies about Kavanaugh, and overall, lying about almost every other thing in general. Trump is wrong sometimes and isn't honest about it in hindsight, he brags incessantly, he's a name-caller which isn't what you want to see in someone who's granfather-aged or a leading politician, he's a crass pig and a philanderer, but in truth he's been very honest with Americans about his political agenda/platform. It's yugely accurate - some people say that they can't believehow accurate it is it because it's the most accurate ever. Other politicians are losers.

So I'm playing 2nd fiddle to the new guy now? This is bullshit. I have to up my game.

Islamic state is 1/10th of what it was. Terrorist leaders are getting killed. Suleimani was dead within hours of sending troops to attack an American embassy. The world is on high alert - Trump is Texas personified. When Obama was Prez, and terrorists attacked, the message was "It's too early to call it a terrorist attack even though the perpetrator yelled a couple words over and over again while he was killing people. This is just an example of why we need tougher gun laws!" (even though AK-47's were illegal in the US).

99% of Canadians don't like killing babies. That doesn't mean that 99% of Canadians are against abortion. Get it? 80% of Canadians want assault weapons banned. Good news! Assault weapons have been banned since before I was born, and I'm over 50. The "poll" that you linked to was irrelevant. No country sends their soldiers to war with semi-auto .556s with 7-round magazines. Not even one. Those aren't "military-grade assault rifles" any more than my Nissan is a military-grade assault vehicle.

I know that most of the military rifles in production around the world for the past couple of decades are .556s. The M-16, M4, C7, etc are all chambered for .556, but all the .556s I know that are deployed with military units around the world either have 3-round burst mode or fully automatic mode, in addition to semi-auto. Canada's infantry used the Belgian-made FN for decades, and it was semi-auto, but it was a .30 calibre (7.62mm) not a .223 (5.56mm). I was just saying that the terminology of "military-grade assault rifle" applies to a semi-auto .556 at all. I know a guy who has a normal looking hunting rifle that is a .300 WinMag semi-auto. It is a complete beast of a rifle compared to the "AR-15s" that Trudeau is talking about. The NATO round is 40 m/s slower and the bullet itself is 1/3 the size. The kinetic energy of the WinMag round is about 4x higher. From what I saw, I don't think that all .300 Mags are banned. If you had a NATO .556 and you had to go across an open field vs a WinMag you'd want to start from less than 500m for sure. The effective range of the winmag is over 1,000m

Trump was conducting the exact same kind of business in Russia that he had always conducted in the US. His kids are doing the same kinds of business that they always were, except for the fact that they're no longer buying real estate in foreign countries. Hunter Biden was creating a new "Chinese private equity fund".

Terrorism in the US is a lot lower under Trump than it was under Obama.

When I saw the thread title I thought that this was more alt-left propaganda from the usual suspect lol.

Joe Biden had official business to attend to in China so he and Hunter Biden flew to China together on AF2. FACT. While they were there on that trip, Hunter Biden waltzed into THE COMMUNIST BANK OF CHINA and arranged $1,500,000,000.00 in business. $1.5 BILLION. If Hunter just did $1M in business on that trip, which is a lot of business to do with the Communist Bank of China, he'd have to go back one-thousand-four-hundred-and-ninety-nine more times to get to $1.5 Billion. That's another FACT! If one of Trump's kids did that you'd recognize that there was a problem instantly and start shrieking about it, but your bias is giving your ignorance wings. OOooooh boy. Are you saying that the Bidens just mysteriously did $1.5 Billion in business with the Communist Bank of China for no apparent reason, while Joe was there conducting official US gov't business, and it has the appearance of randomness to you? Would you mind writing the following in your own words then, just to be clear: "I think that it's a silly deepstate conspiracy theory to assume that there was anything suspicious about Hunter Biden doing $1.5 Billion in business with the Communist Bank of China while he was in China with his dad, who was there working as the VPOTUS for the US government"? I just think it would be awesome for someone to finally come out in the open and state the obvious. People will call you "the genius".

You're using the word Trumptard, and then belching out the dumbest, most conspiracy-laden post ever in the history of the internet. Why should anyone believe that "covid was only brought back to Canada by Americans"? With all of the outright lies being spread about covid, it's origins, when the breakout started, what people knew about it, what precautions countries should take to protect their citizens, etc, you think anyone is going to believe "a lab somewhere figured out that covid came to Canada from Americans"????????? The WHO gave out the worst advice possible to the entire world at the start of a global pandemic. Unlikely theories just aren't going to fly right now. You're lecturing us about trolling?????? LMAO! Facts are facts, and there are indisputable facts on this topic that you are either unable to comprehend or you're just ignoring. Quarantining is probably the single-most effective anti-viral strategy there is, until you have a vaccine. If you know that someone has a nasty virus the first thing that you do is isolate them from the public. The last thing that you'd do is set up treatment centers in the middle of a busy airport for people with a nasty virus, right? If you don't understand that then just give up dude. Much like you quarantine individuals, another BASIC strategy for fighting a pandemic to block travel from infected populations. Eg, if there was a new pandemic breaking out in Madagascar, the last thing that any sensible nation would do is allow flights from Madagascar and let people from those flights just wander off into the general public without screening or quarantining. Only Trudeau has been proven to be stupid enough to do that. Trump has already proven that he's not that stupid. He even defied the WHO's advice when they said that we should all do that. So here's another indisputable fact for you: Trump took the basic anti-viral strategies and put them in place back when Trudeau was too stupid to lift a single finger and do anything. That was the case for a full 45 days. WTF makes you think that Trudeau had a better plan?????? Is doing absolutely nothing to stop a pandemic usually the best route? Just sand there with your thumb up your ass and hope for the best? What do you think that Trudeau did better than Trump Xul? Name one action? You can't, and we both know that, so you want to stick to misleading stats. Guess what Xul????? The US has 8x our population density, and 1/9th of our population rides the NYC subway EVERY DAY! The fact that they were hit harder than Canada is not surprising at all, unless you're a total _______ idiot. Did you really expect the folks in Spuzzum BC to get covid while the population of NYC didn't? Is that what it would take for you realize that doing nothing isn't the best strategy? Super-concerned passenger: "Hey maybe we should move our car off the train tracks. That freight train's coming pretty fast!" Xul: "Stats prove that most cars that get hit by trains are actually racing to beat them. The last thing we want to do right now is drive really fast. I'm going to adopt the Trudeau method to avoid this train. Pass me the lube, my thumbs are huge!!!!"

Is there even one country in the world that provides a .556 semi-automatic rifle to their troops? The FN that Canadians were issued up until the C7 was semi-auto but that was a 7.62. I've never heard of a semi-auto .556 being used by the military anywhere. Are there any semi-auto 9mm rifles or .22s on the banned list? Those don't seem to be military-grade either. I know that the village idiot lies all the time, he never tells the truth or even answers a question, but this is a whopper of a lie.

What I said was an actual fact dialamah. I know that you probably don't understand it, but that's par for the course. Getting one's credibility insulted by dialamah and others of her ilk is the ultimate proof of integrity.

The poll was an attempt at misleading Canadians to get an incorrect answer. It's like posting a poll about abortion and saying "Do you like killing babies" and then using that to prove that Canadians do not approve of abortion.

Here's something for you to check out zg: They don't even track acid attacks in our country as a stat because they're so rare that it's meaningless - the graph would look like the battlements on a castle... ones and zeros, and we have 5x London's population.

If the CBC had to edit your story to make an official, unbiased version it would look like this:

It's not how much, it's how. If they're downplaying it constantly then it doesn't matter how much they "cover" it. SNC was an actual scandal with actual guilt on a large scale. IE - the government created a law (tucked into the back half of a 550+ page omnibus bill) specifically to help a criminal entity avoid the consequences of their own illegal actions. That's the only reason the DPA law even exists. Then he helped SNC again by trying to coerce the AG to use the DPA law even though it wasn't proper, in the eyes of the AG, who's a legal professional. Then the PM turfed the AG, then he punched down on her in public, and he prevented her and other members of his cabinet from telling the truth or cooperating with the RCMP. The media covered this story up at every step of the way, to the greatest extent possible. Even a person like you, who follows politics closely, were left unaware of SNC's history of bribing Liberal politicians. Duffygate was about $90K in travel claims. Duffy's main home was in Ottawa, but he had a cottage in PEI which he then claimed travel expenses to travel to, as if it was his main residence. That hardly tied the PM in any way, but the PMO wanted him to pay the money back right away so they cleared up his tab. It was inappropriate, but in the end, who was out $90K? What was the net result to the taxpayer? 0$. FWIW, $90K is enough to make 2 blocks of sidewalk, on one side of a street. It's literally nothing on the scale of a federal budget. What Duffy did is regular for these clowns. Trudeau's personal flights on one Florida vacation were over $100,000. That's just the flight cost, because Mr. Global Warming has to fly on a private jet, like all the other global warming truthers. https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-flights-from-florida-to-ottawa-will-cost-taxpayers-over-100000/ The point is that you know you're getting biased coverage when an entirely relevant topic, like Michel Fournier, is well known to the media but is completely verboten.
