    Which ones? Is it the “can’t not pay for social services” restriction? The “can’t secretly own a firearm” resteiction? Or the “can’t overrule other countries’ entry requirements” restriction?

      You mean unnecessary use of resources tax.

      The “can’t secretly own a firearm” resteiction?

      Secret? The firearms bans are only affecting people apart of the Canadian Firearms Program, people who have gone through the CFSC and daily background checks.

      You think criminals are actually going to follow the law and abide by these bans? It’s literal abuse of OIC just to take law abiding citizens property.

      the “can’t overrule other countries’ entry requirements” restriction?

      I assume you’re referring to the B.C women who was recently arrested over at the US border. Ultimately she went down there with incomplete documentation, like everyone else she should’ve sorted that out before even attempting to cross.

        You can literally see a direct link between difficulty of acquiring a gun legally and difficulty acquiring a gun illegally.

        Statistically, majority of guns used in crime were legally purchased at some point in their existence

          That’s really not at all baffling? We’re talking guns over 100 years old ending up on these ban lists.

          The recent public safety announcement they claim that the rifles banned were meant for war. Guns like the GSG (German Sports-Shooting Gun) were banned while not banning the SKS (Made literally for ww2).

          The logic here is admittedly flawed and not enough Canadians realize that.
