Gun Control Failure In Canada

The majority of those remaining who have not yet fled to the United States.

Number of people who left Canada in the 4th annual quarter at almost 50-year high

The reason, according to the article, rampant unchecked liberals are destroying it.

Wow.
That article is such a textbook definition of taking one data out of context and freaking people out.


I will grant that a few people left canada for places like Florida. And for them I say.....good on ya. Out ya git! Enjoy the sun and stop voting up here please.

Didyou not say that people buying handguns do so for hunting? See post #56. Are not bear and elk hunted in Canada?

Yes. I did say that people buy handguns for hunting.

Oompa Loompa said:

I am calling your bluff. Why else would anyone buy a handgun.

Hunting, target practice and collecting.

Hunting with a 9mm semi-auto? Really? More like hunting home intruders.

...aparently Canadians buy 9mm automatic handguns as collectibles or hunting purposes. Nothing else will take down a brown bear or a bull moose like a 9mm. So says Joe Biden and the Canadian firearms experts like @JosephZ .

Notice I didn't say anything about a 9mm or that nothing else will take down a brown bear or a bull moose like a 9mm.

In the first instance, you'd need to show why people are leaving Canada to enable you to use whatever figures you've found to back up any claim that you make. You haven't done that. You've just said that they are leaving because of liberal attitudes because it supports your claims.

In the second instance, from 2000 to 2005 there was an increase in emigration from about 47,000 to around 65,000. That number stayed reasonable static under Conservative rule until 2015 when it has since dropped dramatically to less that 30,000 this year. Under Trudeau and the Liberals.

See the chart here for confirmation: Canada: number of emigrants 2021 | Statista

So it seems that as well as not having anything to back up your claims, your position that Canadians are leaving in greater numbers because of 'the left' is completely wrong anyway.

And this is a hypothetical question. But what sort of answer do you think you'd get from a random selection of people around the world to this question: Which country do you think is more dangerous as regards gun violence: The US or Canada?

Edit: Apologies. I've referenced the same chart and made the same point as was posted earlier. But I guess that shows how easy it is to find this info and how little time the OP spent looking for it.
