Nothing wrong with the methods. If anything they are not harsh enough.

Tell me you have no idea what you are talking about without telling me you don't know what you are talking about other than 'I do not like firearms as a principle and nothing more'.

They have had every opportunity to outright ban firearms via Act of Parliament, but didn't. Why is that? They still went ahead with the OIC, but when they passed C-21, did they ban firearms? No, they just made up more rules to de-facto ban new ones, and that didn't even work because "new" semi-auto rifles have recently entered the market as non-restricted like the IWI Carmel and the Makasi.

That was all done under the Trudeau admin, but Carney's government didn't even hold debates for their assault on strong cryptography, so they could've banned them at any time before leaving for summer break, but they didn't. Why?

If it's really such a problem, why can't they do things the legally appropriate way and come right out to ban all firearms?
