Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

      Here you go dumbass. https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-34.html

      Also, I love how you act like Canada is immune to this when the first and only place I’ve ever seen a confederate flag in the western Americas was in Canada. You’re not immune to crazy politics either, and they keep creeping further and further in. Western countries have gotten way too comfortable thinking their freedoms will exist forever without having to fight.

        Nothing in there mentions firearms. But keep jerking off your ar-15 that you can carry around a gun in public here to defend yourself

          Brother I understand you’re stupid, but you know that the laws on self defense wouldn’t call out “gun” just for the sake of it? Canada specifically calls out that force must be justified and necessary. Here’s that same sub section I mentioned being applied to someone in their home using a gun to kill someone in Canada because they feared grave bodily harm to someone else or themself.

          Also, my AR stays locked up in my safe. I live in California with nearly identical gun laws to Canada. I also can’t just shoot someone in my house and have to apply reasonable force.

          At least learn the laws of the country you live in before you start being ignorant.

            that case was a big deal, because when you get your RPAL, your told you are not allowed to used your gun for self-defense. we have strict gun laws for a good reason.
