Watching how Canada gets screwed will give tips on similar ways they may try and screw us in the future.
The above is an air gun channel, so he takes note that BB, Pellet, and paintball guns are screwed too....

"Oh Canada" why don't you have anything even approximating the original title of this thread?
That is why you have youtube channels of Canadians farting around with BB guns and pellet guns.
They're unarmed subjects, not citizens, and they'll do as they're told.
The United States has over 10X as many firearms in the hands of it's citizens than Canada has total population so I don't think our northern neighbor has much of anything instructive for us regarding gun rights other than how not to form a national constitution.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 03-03-2021).]

I think overall we do agree, the steps they have taken and not taken, could be warnings to us.

Are uninformed/misinformed people who don't seem to use logic, or see a big picture, the real problem our freedoms are always at risk?
I also notice when people talk about important topics like this, there seem to be steps agreed upon, and then the next points made by the interviewee contradict the points they already agreed upon. It is as if everything just said went back out the window. Failure of critical thinking?
Add to that, bad twisted facts.
It is good however, to see some students such as these willing to listen.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 03-10-2021).]

I believe it's more of an inability to coherently organize their thoughts to even get to the point of being able to engage in critical thinking.
Critical thinking is defined as "the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment".
That objective analysis and evaluation first requires putting data into some kind of arrangement or disposition in relation to each other.
It has been my observation that those who rely on their emotions, rather than objective data, to form their ideas and opinions have the most trouble organizing their own thinking, much less being able to properly evaluate data.
I truly believe that is why we see so many Lefties simultaneously holding two or more completely contradictory and irreconcilable positions in their heads and they never give it a whiff of notice or concern.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 03-10-2021).]

The lady makes perfect sense. It is nothing less than criminal that our keepers don't give a damn what their subjects know.

Yes, she makes perfect sense, but I fear that it fell on mostly deaf ears.

I'm thinking for some it falls on ears that hear, that know, and even understand, but willfully act counter to its truth.
I would say many of the deaf ears seem to belong to scared voters who vote for politicians which are against these rights.

The problem is they will only hear what they want to hear. Guns are scary and we are probably going to get killed by a hand guns will be the next thing.
It will not end, this will continue until one side or the other loses or blood is spilled and executive orders are signed.
For the record the best home defense weapon is still the shot gun, you want someone to drop a load in their pants rack a 12 ga in a dark room.
Personal "defense" weapons are used to protect us from those that are hiding in plain sight, not those that enter in the dark. Both foreign and domestic.[This message has been edited by Jake_Dragon (edited 03-19-2021).]
