82% of Canadians support stronger gun laws. 84% of Massachusetts residents support stronger gun laws.

Or that.

58 year old farther of two and step-father to anther. Way to go on your A-levels. Congratulations! Well done! And your bachelor's? That's awesome! I'm so very proud of you.

No. I'm saying that for the law to be unconstitutional at you say you must have the right to own a gun.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

This is, "Mah rights!" nonsense. The right isn't absolute. You have the right but that right is regulated by state law. None of your rights are absolute. Call the White House and tell them you're going to kill the president and see how far your free speech rights go.

NOTE: Dear fascist brown shirts, that was NOT a threat but a reductio ad absurdum example. Get a brain.

I was making fun of you.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

The law is only unconstitutional if you have a right that the state law takes away.

You have the right as guaranteed by the second amendment and the supremacy clause. I'm not sure what you don't understand about how the constitution works.

This seems like a confirmation that your argument is, in fact, "Mah rights!"

Article VI, Clause 2 establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority are the supreme law of the land, taking precedence over any conflicting state laws. This means the Constitution, along with federal laws, applies to all states and their citizens, regardless of their location within the United States.

The fascists and their shills have tried for years to cheapen the words fascist and fascism by pretending that the words fascist and fascism were meaningless nasty names that the real bad guys threw at people they didn't like. The fact of the matter is that the words fascist and fascism have clear meanings that I was applying correctly to the rise of fascism in the United States and the fact that Trump is clearly a fascist and that Trumpist are clearly fascist boot lickers.

Like I said, "Mah rights!"

In 2019 I asked my doctor about boosting all of my vaccinations and adding a few extra because of my work travel. He asked if I was traveling to a third world country. I said, "Yes, the United States." He boosted my MMR and DTAP and added Hep-A and - B and yellow fever.

That's not how the US constitution works.

My 16 year old is out shooting his brand new arrived today .22 right now. He has a PL (possession license) while I have a PAL (possession and acquisition license.) He is allowed to possess guns without supervision but he is not allowed to acquire them.

 

This is nonsense. The Conservatives need to stick with Jenni Byrne and triple down on the angry jingoism and Trump style grievance politics that Canadians love so much. More attacks and DEI and the woke week definitely fake the difference. If only they could Conservative harder they could definitely win more of us over.

Canada is broken!

Woke woke woke! DEI DEI DEI!

I will fix everything but can't tell you how!

I am not Justin Trudeau!

 

The real threat was the combination of Trump and a simpering sycophant Trump wannabe as prime minister.

The threat is reduced with Carney.

 

We need to stop teaching students that every person has the same value as white, Christian men. - Peter MacKinnon

Is the DEI in the room with us right now, Peter?

 

Tax cuts for the rich and benefits cuts for the poor to pay for it. $100 billion of additional national debt over four years of planned deficits.

That definitely sounds like a Conservative agenda.

 

Trump wannabe losing electon because he's a Trump wannabe and Canadians don't want to elect a Trump wannabe says stupid Trumpist shit that isn't going to help his chances because he's a Trump wannabe try hard.

"I know why, and it's because my president is threatening to annex your country."

It's far more than that. The Trump administration is lawless, ignoring and defying the courts, and trampling on the constitution. My son's school just cancelled a long planned trip to New York City because of the very real risk that one of more of the children in the trip might be held, handcuffed, and thrown in ICE detention for days or weeks. Under the current authoritarian regime it is unsafe for anyone to travel to the US.

 

Oh, we're going to do this again? We're going to try to pass the same unconditional laws that Stephen Harper tried to pass then spent years and tens of millions of dollars defending all the way to the Supreme Court only to lose because everyone, including Harper, knew from the very beginning that they were unconstitutional?

Just fucking great. Can we not? Can you just roll your neo-fascist lack-of-virtue signalling into a cylinder and shove it up your fucking at instead?

"I'm not Justin Trudeau!" - Pierre Polievre

"Neither am I" - Mark Carney

The 25% of Canadians that are thinking challenged won't win you an election when there's is a functioning adult running.

"I'm just like Trump" won't either.

I know you're a fucking idiot the moment you use the phrase, "woke ideology", unironically.

Bernier is a fucking idiot.

 

They changed the headline on this article. It originally read, "Polievre launches campaign with a pitch to heal, 'a divided country'" which made me laugh because he's spent so much time whipping up the white grievance that carried Trump to power in the US and trying desperately to ride the same wave of populist bullshit with the same message as Trump. When he's railing about the, "woke" and "political correctness" that suggests that we can expect an all out assault of LGBTQ+ rights, brown people, books, and anything else they don't like.
