It is not the future. It is NOW if we finally put this gas bullshit behind us.

I guess Canada is not for sale because you found a better deal elsewhere, duggie?

Diversify, diversify, diversify. And don’t be too dependent on outside stuff. The neoliberal shit needs to end. All it took is one jackass to bring it all down.

This is why Charles de Gaulle was onto something when he built France to be more independent and resilient to outside influence. He had many flaws, but that was not one of them.

Not cost effective. Maybe by 2080 or something.

And in the meantime Canada is soon approaching a time when all healthcare will become for-profit like in the US, and the whole ‘we never could have afforded it in the first place. It was always a bad idea’ by both Libs and Cons will start to be spouted.

But combat is one of the most calorie-intensive activity you can do. Hungry soldiers aren’t good soldiers. Whenever they could they tried to get soldiers meals from field kitchens, even those on the front lines and in active combat. It kept morale and energy up.

You notice the interest in UFOs and stuff are at an all time low? Despite the unbelievable availability of cameras, we are not seeing any really good UFO photos or sightings. It is almost like if Aliens are there, they decided to do a big ‘nope’ and go elsewhere.

But I saw a video documenting this and it showed that in some way the decline has happened was that due to the past 20 years of severe government incompetence the idea that the government would be able to hide and manage something as big as alien visitations is no longer believable.

This shit looks like prison food…

WW2 field rations were revolutionary for the time, and US troops rarely went unsupplied (Axis forces often had missing food supplies all the time. The Japanese and Russians had it particularly bad). But the field rations were often described as being unfilling and didn’t provide enough calories as needed. But they were not as bad as many people make them out to be. Granted if I had to eat nothing but those rations for weeks on end I’d be a very sad soldier.

And I have said it ten million times before. The current total bans they’re doing is abso-fucking-lutely not going to do squat. You are basically saying ‘we should leave this and that model of rifle or shotgun only’ to somehow say ‘this will eliminate danger to kids’. Nope, because any rifle or shotgun can be technically used to commit a shooting.

In 2010 in the UK a guy went on a rampage with a single-shot .22LR rifle and a double barrelled shotgun, the type of ‘safe’ guns most gun control advocates believe should be the only type of firearm available to civilians, and he STILL killed over 10 people.

I remember reading articles by Heidi, the main gun control advocate in Canada who was present in the 1989 polytechnique shooting (she heard the gun shots, but was very far away from the actual shooter) who had a hatred of that particular model that he used in the shooting like somehow it was THAT model that was only thing that made it fucking possible. It wasn’t

BTW, the model he used? Ruger Mini-14, and at that time (and somehow still believed today) that it was easy to convert a semi-automatic rifle into a fully-automatic rifle. He had a go at it and ended up breaking the mechanism, meaning the shooting that killed 14 young women that day was committed effectively by a jam-prone, manually operated gun. Not even a fast-firing semi-auto rifle.

And I am going to say it again. The bans that have been happening in the past 6 years have been extremely ineffective, have not collected many of the banned guns (next to no owners surrendered their weapons, meaning they are still there), has been unbelievably expensive, have caused massive divisiveness in various governmental agencies, have lead to a huge rift in everything.

And do you have any sense of irony? ‘ooooh think of the children!’ the same damn excuse that the guys on top everywhere in the world have been using to infringe on all of our freedoms? Whether it is the 2010/11 failed ‘protecting children from online predators’ act that only mentioned children and predators in the title and nowhere in the bill? Or the age verification crap going on, the OS outlawing, and a hell of a lot more.

Even the anti-gun shit is getting so damn bad it is pissing off the 3D printing community and privacy advocates, since they want to pass draconian acts that think they will somehow curb 3D printed firearms (which aren’t a problem. If they were, we’d be seeing a fuckload more of them by now, but so far we’re still seeing boring old fashioned factory produced guns), and those laws are so crudely written and so impossible to enforce that they will effectively make it impossible for most people to 3D print anything, and will make 3D printers cost 5 or 10 times more. Same thing with machinist and metal working communities who are under fire because their skill at forging and shaping metal to something that could actually become a decent gun.

Why are you so willing to use and fall for the same Epstein class cry when you aren’t for any other subject?

If you have been paying attention to the gun control situation in Canada and how people from countless organisations such as Canada Post and the RCMP and tons of others have been reacting to this, you’d be amazed how many Canadians are opposed to it.

And it is all 100% based on ‘I just do not like guns’ which I am going to say is unsufficient anymore than simply me saying ‘I just like guns’. Most people actually believe that somehow Canadians could conceal carry or were able to do so until recently or some other bullshit. Complete ignorance of the actual state of things.

So let’s throw billions more dollars on this scheme that has yet to produce a single tangible result. The long gun registry, the handgun ban, and the tens of thousands of rifle models. Cash in the furnace. Let’s also cut healthcare more to fund that, too.

I am fucking done.

So here is the thing. As a licensed Canadian gun owner I have the support for the following laws that are already in existence:

I support the licensing and vetting scheme as it was established, this has been very effective. In Canada you need two references, you need a background check, and you need to take and pass the safety courses for your desired type of firearm. For an PAL alone (Possession and Acquisition License), you need the safety course on rifles and shotguns. For the RPAL (Restricted PAL) you need to take one for handguns, too. I also support safe storage of firearms as it stands now.

I need to mention that most gun owners are OK with the above laws, too.

What I do NOT support.

I do NOT support the banning of over 15,000 (the current amount, there have been more banned previously) of models of rifles solely based on, ‘I do not like this gun, I think it is bad’. They didn’t say ‘we want to ban AR-15s’ alone, they banned every single distinct model of AR-15 ever produced. This is stupid. They also banned rifles that were formerly non-restricted rifles that were nothing more than simple target rifles or hunting guns just because. They even banned rifles that have been out of production since the 1940s simply because they were used during WW2 in some limited capacity (they are not anymore dangerous than any hunting rifle made afterward).

I do not support banning any type of firearm based purely on some ideological idea, saying ‘this is a military gun!’ Dude! Literally every single bolt-action rifle design was military, ditto for lever-guns, break-actions, and muzzle loaders. Flintlock muskets were military… and this brings me to another point.

Did you know that they banned flintlock pistols? I need to mention that flintlock muskets are still on the unregulated firearm list. That means if you want to buy a musket, you don’t need any firearms permit, you can buy one online in Canada right now. But before the 2022 handgun freeze, flintlock pistols were treated the same way as modern pistols. Meaning if you found a flintlock pistol and decided to take it home with you, it would be treated as if it was a Glock if you are discovered with it. I do not know of any other country that has done this. Even the UK still permits single-shot muzzle loaders to be sold and used in ranges. All of continental Europe also has flintlock pistols as fully unregulated firearms, meaning anyone can buy one. But in Canada? You’ll get several years in jail if you have one.

On top of that before the law was amended, they originally tried to ban non-firing replica old west firearms. Are you aware of how stupid that is? Can you imagine someone who likes old west guns, but doesn’t actually want a real gun, so he gets a non-firing replica that cannot be loaded or fired, but still functions similar to the original (the hammer and triggers move, you can open the loading gate, etc) and then one day he is now in possession of a prohibited firearm because of the law? Meaning if discovered with it, he will be treated as if he was in possession of a machine gun.

There are just countless stupid laws that they tried to pass. They inadvertently banned almost all shotguns at one point due to a badly written part, and they wanted to ban the .50BMG (which has never, ever been used in a crime in Canada, and only used once in a crime in the US in the early 80s) but in doing so ended up banning multiple big game hunting cartridges that in no way shape or form are similar to the anti-material round that the .50 BMG is.

Do you get me now? I’m OK with licensing and other basic stuff, those stuff have been very effective. Most everything else is just a war on shooting sports and a massive, MASSIVE, waste of tax payer money. Money that could have been put into countless other uses to save more lives than any of the gun laws ever could.

I guarantee you, Mark will fuck up more shit for healthcare and housing in the future than you can imagine.

They will pass more and more gun laws before regulating just how fucked this whole situation with LLMs is.

LLMs have facilitated so much murder and suicide now that I really don’t understand why no legislator has even tried yet. Am I missing anything?

Ditto the liberals.

Mark is not our friend.

There are no good conservatives or liberals, the NDP needs to exploit this gap and pick up the damn ball.

And literally no one is doing shit to stop this. It is almost like personal property rights, privacy, and everything else are now dirty words that will make you look like a criminal.
