Trudeau never reigned in gun crime which ruined his credibility, he had 10 whole years to accomplish that task, the statistics are public knowledge.
That has literally nothing to do with the constitutionality of his mandate.
You call people who own firearms gun nuts but it’s a hobby just like any other
No, it's fucking not. It's a hobby that requires the mass manufacture and ownership of instant, point and click, murder tools.
Criminal Defence lawyer & Firearms lawyer - Ian Runkle (YouTuber: Runkle Of The Bailey) has made a request to the Supreme Court challenging for procedural fairness in regard to the firearm confiscation fiasco, given that Justin Trudeau bypassed the House of Commons and Parliament with his OIC, it’s fair to say Canadians are expected a proper judicial due-process especially when it comes to confiscating people’s private property.
So, you basically think that when Canadians broadly elected Trudeau on a platform of reigning in gun crime and banning assault style firearms, they were mistaken in their choice?
You're nitpicking a procedural issue, not grossly violating a charter right.
It’s not a “buyback”, the Canadian Government never owned these firearms to begin with, it’s a forced confiscation with a monetary compensation. You know it’s bad when the Ontario Government won’t divert RCMP resources to assist in this confiscation and that Canada Post won’t assist either.
"You know it's bad when a conservative idiot panders to his base?"
"You know it's bad when Canada Post doesn't want to take on the responsibility of collecting and storing mass amounts of firearms, something they've never done before, have no training or expertise in doing, and would make them obvious targets for violent criminals?"
LMFAO. What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, cause pistol-calibre carbine shooting it not for hunting deer, it's for killing as many human beings as possible as quickly as possible
You forget about sports shooters and that the International Practial Shooting Confederation exists, which rely on these firearms being accessible to practice and participate.
No, I didn't. I explicitly asked why anyone should give two shits about gun nuts participating in fake sports. Buy a big buck machine, or take up darts, they're cheaper and more fun.
That's an utterly trash article.
You may think that while there are isolated examples of abuse and absurdity, these laws nevertheless allow European nations to more effectively combat hatred.
No, I think that cherry picking extreme cases of people trying to abuse hate speech laws, not discussing the final outcomes of those cases including when the accuser was punished for abusing hate speech laws, and not examining their positive cases in any way shape or form, is obviously fucking asinine and doesn't prove the point the author thinks.
You’d be surprised to learn, then, that citizens in European countries with laws restricting hate speech and Holocaust denial experience worse rates of antisemitic attitudes than the United States, sometimes by a large margin.
No, I wouldn't.
-
you can effectively combat anti-Semitism, but still end up with more of it, if you start with higher levels of anti-Semitism
-
there are a million other factors effecting anti-Semitism, drawing a causal relationship between high anti-Semitism rates and whether or not they have hate-speech laws is asinine, kindergarten level, "reasoning"
-
hate-speech laws are not just about anti-Semitism, but about literally every other hateful prejudice as well
The author of that article is, quite frankly, a fucking idiot at best, or an ideologue intentionally trying to deceive you at worst.
The on the ground reality is that in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, etc, groups like the KKK will be investigated and prosecuted, and in the US they won't. If you think hate speech laws are so bad you're gonna have to find enough cases of abuse that they cancel out all the cases of far right terror groups being successfully disrupted, and here's the thing, you won't, because they don't exist.
There's a reason that hate-speech laws are broadly popular in the countries that have them.
The democrats are either corrupt or DUMB AS FUCK.
They sideline literally every candidate who achieves popular support.
A reminder that piracy is a legitimate act of protest.
Copyright for voice and faces actually makes sense. Copyright for creative works as it exists is dumb as fuck.
Copyright is nothing more than a system for creating artificial scarcity and monopolies where there is no inherent need for it. Protecting our identities is a genuinely valuable use of that system, stopping artists from sampling and remixing is not.
Laws intended to protect the vulnerable can easily be used to oppress them further. We’re seeing this with pro-Palestinian groups being labeled hate groups right now in the name of “protecting” people from “antisemitism.” (Antisemitism is a real problem, don’t get me wrong, but a lot of people who get prosecuted for it haven’t actually done anything except support Palestine.)
This is quite frankly, ass-backwards reasoning.
If legitimate laws are getting twisted and abused to fuck with people by governments, then those same government will just pass new laws to fuck with people if they want to.
Literally every western country in the world has anti-hate speech laws, and by and large they are not problematic. It's only in dumb-fuck america that everything needs to be black and white and you can't draw subtle nuanced lines. Yeah, the UK probably errs too much on the side of repressing speech, like when they banned Palestine Action for vandalizing a military base, yet at the same time, I just saw a pro-palestine protest shut down the main tourist district of Scotland today, and the police just made sure everyone was safe from external threats. No suppression of any anti-Israeli or pro-Palestine speechse.
It's very easy to write hate-speech laws, it's dumb as fuck to think they're more problematic than not having them.
Don't buy those crappy plastic bag-clips to hold chip bags, flour bags, etc closed. They're unsatisfying, they wear out and bend, and they just add more plastic pollution to the world.
Instead buy more binder clips. They're made from spring steel, they're strong as hell, they almost never wear out, they can be used to close bags, as small clamps, as hangers for almost anything in a pinch, and they're amazing for building pillow / blanket forts.
I have some from my grandma that she bought 30 years ago and they work just as well as the ones I bought a year ago. The only risk with them ever is rust, and you can just scrub that off with vinegar, add a brush of paint and it's fixed.
Truly some of my favourite robust little items.
