Vancvillan Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 16 hours ago, StefanAVFC said: Meanwhile in Texas, Governor Abbott wants to pardon a white guy who killed a black guy, in seemingly cold blood. Abbott sees him as an American hero, he stood his ground in the face of immense aggression and only shot as he was under threat. Open carry is legal in Texas, so neither man were illegally carrying a gun. This narrative kinda falls apart when you see his views: “Might Have to Kill a Few People”: And other texts that suggest Daniel Perry intended to commit murder at a Black Lives Matter demonstration - News - The Austin Chronicle Worth mentioning that the victim was a white guy carrying an ak47 strapped to his chest at a protest, not a black guy. Not excusing the offender, but details matter - open carry is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was on the street in that crowd, I'd be angrily banging on his window too. Edited April 15, 2023 by StefanAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Another embarrassing US government classified intelligence misadventure.. Not sure how a 21 year old is able to access that information, steal it and disseminate it right under the nose of his employer, who might still be none the wiser had the Washington Post not broke the story. Also concerning that the kid is a Putin fan. USA once again proving to be a very dicey security partner to our allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada has a huge amount of firearms. The difference is legislation and regulations. No open carry, and you have to have a reason to own one (self defence isn't a valid reason, so either sports shooting or hunting). The ones you can own and have on public land (for hunting) are unrestricted class, mostly long rifles and shot guns - not many semis (but you can still get one in 223 rem same calibre as an AR15). No handguns. For sports shooting (handguns, most semis, restricted class) you do an additional day of training and need an additional permit for each firearm that lets you transport to to a specified location, and you have to travel by a reasonable route with no unnecessary stops. If you want to take a restricted firearm to a gunsmith, you need to apply for a separate permit to take it there. AR15 was banned based on the culture around it. Ditto a few other firearms. Long story, I have mixed opinions on efficacy based on what the stated aims of the ban were. Both licences require a background check including personal references, you have to declare any recent (two years I think) redundancies or divorce / seperation, need sign-off from your partner or spouse if they live with you. Mandatory 28 day waiting period, typically 3-5 months for processing. I can go to a big box store and buy a rifle + ammunition today if I want. It's not like it's inaccesible. Plenty of people have a good reason to own firearms. The US has an issue with regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
