      Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance. Gotta nip Nazism and Fascism in the bud as soon as it becomes apparent, lest we end up electing a Nazi Fascist… like what just happened.

        Yep, one of the best ways I’ve seen it put and will now repeat back very poorly is that you need to treat tolerance as a social contract. Rather than get pulled into an argument about being intolerant to the intolerant making you a hypocrite, it’s more about tolerating those who also subscribe to the same social contract of tolerance.

    In Canada the first step to legal gun ownership is emailing the RCMP and asking for gun safety training. Then they email you back a list of qualified instructors in your city.

    Once you get the safety training then you can apply for a Possession and Acquisition License which allows you to buy firearms and ammunition. Once in possession of a firearm you need go register it so that if you are caught with it you don’t get in trouble.

    “Restricted” firearms include hand guns and revolvers so if you want one of those then you need to repeat the process once more including the safety training and get a Restricted Possession and Acquisition License

      I’m Newfie. There’s more than enough rifles lying about around here on the island, registered or otherwise.

      It’s kinda funny how the world thinks we have absolutely no guns and like… they’re pretty available overall. Just not the psychotic ones Americans have.
