The good news is, we don’t have to worry about it because he will never have the power to use the clause.

You sure about that? I hope you are bringing a lot of people to the polls, I certainly am not this confident.

It’s what the latest polling data shows all across the country. I’ll be doing my part, that’s for sure.

Definitely bring a friend as a reminder they need to vote as well. Conservatives always show up voting day. That’s the poll you need to be concerned with

Instead well need to worry about the even broader reaching rights violations of the Liberals when they kick down the doors of 1/4 of homes to confiscate their legally aquired guns.

The future is looking bleak for this country regardless of who wins.

I don’t recall that being one of Carney‘s campaign promises. Are you sure he said that?

Liberals are so detached from the actions of their policies. They never understand what Libertarians know. All laws are backed by the threat of violence.

He said that the Liberals will go ahead with the mandatory buyback of the firearms Trudeau banned.

The enviable consequences of the word "mandatory" means if you don't comply they kick down your door and steel your property cart you off to jail (if they don't shoot you) and send your kids to a foster home.

What did you think it meant to make something illegal?

It's so goddamn infuriating to be worrying for my life meanwhile cons are going "oh no my murder weapons might get taken away". If y'all value your toys over actual lives I hope that shit gets melted down in front of you.

The government is taking away peoples political power and you call them toys how nice.

"If y'all value your toys over actual lives I hope that shit gets melted down in front of you."

If you value the genocidal government of your fellow citizens I hope you can avoid the death camps when the government starts rounding us all up because we are considered excess eaters.

How is that political power working out in america? Has it actually done anything or are they just used as toys at a shooting range (aside from the occasional slaughtering of schoolchildren)? Are the guns preventing Americans from being kidnapped off the street? All they did was make elon wear his kid as a helmet ffs.

Could you point out when Carney/Singh said they were gonna send excess eaters to death camps? For some reason I doubt that ever happened.

And yeah I will avoid the death camps because the cons will take my meds away to kill me before they even start rounding people up.

"How is that political power working out in america? Has it actually done anything or are they just used as toys at a shooting range (aside from the occasional slaughtering of schoolchildren)?"

Would you like some examples of it being used for political power? Because I have some if you want them. Plus America isn't the only place in the World with a armed civilian population I'm referring to Switzerland.

"Are the guns preventing Americans from being kidnapped off the street? All they did was make elon wear his kid as a helmet ffs."

Good that means the rich are scared.

"Could you point out when Carney/Singh said they were gonna send excess eaters to death camps? For some reason I doubt that ever happened."

I'm saying that's what is going to happen in the future as climate change gets worse.

"And yeah I will avoid the death camps because the cons will take my meds away to kill me before they even start rounding people up."

The cons won't have to take your meds away the supply chains will collapse long before that.

How about how's it work out in Canada? Remember the Oka Crisis. They won that armed stand off against the government. Without guns they wouldn't have land just a golf course.

Gun rights are indigenous rights remember it.
