Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is placing a nationwide freeze on the sale, purchase and transfer of handguns, effective immediately.

Everyone is brave behind a keyboard

Yeah, that's a much more succinct way of putting it

I kinda feel like i derailed it

Huh, that's odd. It's not like you to derail a thread ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I don't know? With your hands? Or pepparspray? Only low brain people think a gun is a solution to everything.
I live in Sweden, yet I've never needed to defend myself.

How will you get close enough to use your hands or pepper spray? I'm interested in learning new self defense techniques against firearms.

If the problem is "too many bad people have guns" then the solutions are to make access to them more difficult. Australia did it, America can too. 100% of the "Come and take it" Lolbertarian types don't believe in anything enough to die for it, they'll surrender their guns to buyback programs willingly for more LARP gear like snake flags and getting 1776 emblazoned on every square inch of their property and skin.

I've never been shot at...because I live in a country without guns. So I don't NEED a gun to protect myself. Worse that'll happen is a fist fight. Guns just escalate things, what would just be a couple of punches and a bruised face is now suddenly possible death. I'm glad I don't live in a country where I feel like I NEED a gun to defend myself. You make it sound like this is a regular occurence for you, I really hope not, and if so, again, VERY glad I don't live in America, sounds awful.

I'm sure using fists is a viable option for women. Firearms are the ultimate equalizer for them. Without them, they are vulnerable. Tell us again how much you hate women.

Defend themselves against what? It's Canada we talking about. Extremely safe and extremely stable nation.

I bet that in Canada more people while taking dangerous selfies than by murder.

Last I checked, Canada has wild animals.

Me personally, I'd rather have it and never have to use it than to not have it and need it. You people are so afraid of a simple tool, it's laughable.

Remove the firearms, problem solved.

I know, but the US is stuck in 1776 and have realized their constitution can be changed.

Last time I checked, hunting rifles where legal like everywhere if you got a license and education.

But wont the people who still own firearms be criminals cause they dont respect the law?

You're a fucking idiot if you are suggesting that women strap a hunting rifle to their backs, and that they would be easier to use and conceal than a pistol. Are you on drugs?

Total rubbish, people in UK are often attacked with weapons such as knives, machete's, iron bars, acid, etc. If you've only ever been punched in the face (probably when you were a schoolkid) you obviously live in an area where crime is not high and you tend to not socialise very much. I've lived in parts of the UK where crime is extremly high and you'd soon change your tune if you had lived there or socialised with some of the degenerates that live in those areas. The only respect these people have is for people that are more violent than them, and they don't mess with those people because they know there will be consequences or their actions,
You see, most people are only kept in check because there are consequences for their actions and if you remove all the consequences people start to do as they please. That's why we need to get tough on criminals or law breakers as this is the only thing that they respect. We need to make prisons hard, take away state benefits and housing for convicted people, they would soon get the message that crime doesn't pay and there are consequences for their actions. Much like how a criminal respects a gun pointed in their face in USA.

I suggest you read this MET Police story from 2019 (and it's only gotten worse since then)

Where the heck did women come in? Check what exactly I replied to. Wild animals...

EDIT: I see that my edit of my post still included what I removed...

That's a sociological issue, you can heavily reduce crime rates with access to social programs and better mental health programs, not to mention gun buyback programs. A lot of criminals are only in that bracket due to poverty, and massive checks for their guns, even if they're legal or not, can help a lot more than any hard policing program would.

They go hand in hand, dude. But you live in Sveden, right? You'd do well to keep your mouth shut about matters that aren't relevant to your situation.

And you're a US citizen. Why are you commenting about Canadian law then?

People will always find away to hurt people. Its human nature. So why take away people to defend themselves from people who want to harm them? Its gonna end up like the UK where knife attacks are huge

This argument is like telling a man he can't care about breast cancer, or a woman that she can't care about prostate cancer.

You don't have to be a subject to be allowed to have an opinion.

should happen every where in the world IMO.

Because its the same continent, and they share a border, not half way across the planet

And? How does it make it any different?

don't forget Mexico.

maybe each nation has different laws or something i'm not sure
