If they don't have a gun culture then why did the people of Canada tell the stupid government to shove it where the sun don't shine when the government tried to impose registration of firearms? That was one of the best examples of mass civil disobedience in history.
What the fuck does that have to do with gun culture?
That's a privacy issue. Canada's going through some PATRIOT Act - like controversy right now, and privacy versus government power is a front and center issue. That ain't a gun fetish.
And btw it was not "the people" who put down the effort (which was in Québec, not the entire country) but the Canadian Supreme Court. And it wasn't "imposing registration of firearms" -- the issue was whether or not the province could destroy its records that it already had. Nice try but way the fuck off in terms of accuracy.
You are confused. The portion of the Canadian Firearms Act that required registration was passed in 1993, long before 911 and the Patriot Act in the US. Don't make things up. It only makes you look like a fool when you post.
Firearm confiscation/registration etc is always presented as being for public safety someway or another. Thank goodness the Canadians didn't let their filthy ass government take away their firearms under the bogus guise of anti terrorism or anything else.
The stupid government passed the law but the Canadians said "hell no we ain't gonna do it". They didn't want their government maintaining a register on gun owners. Good for them.
If the Canadians didn't have a gun culture similar to the US then they wouldn't have given a crap about registering their firearms. Europeans don't care. Americans, New Zealanders and Canadians, among a few others, do. It was never a privacy issue. It was a right to keep and bear arms issue.
Look dood, I get news from Canada literally every day. This is the controversy I refer to. It's got nothing to do with 9/11. And it IS in the public discourse right now.
Further, here's the Québec story:
Supreme Court rules against Quebec and allows end to gun-registry data
MONTREAL—The country’s top court awarded a huge victory for Prime Minister Stephen Harper over the province of Quebec with its decision allowing it to scrap the remnants of the long-disputed gun registry. [which was created in 1998]THAT is what it's about.
... The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision ruled Quebec has no legal right to the information on long-gun owners that was collected and maintained by Ottawa and that it was within the federal government’s right to unilaterally destroy the information.
Don't sit here and try to bullshit me. I already told you I know better.
The Canadians resisted the filthy ass government keeping a registry on their firearms. It was mass civil disobedience. The same kind of disobedience that you would see in the US if the filthy ass government tried to do the same. That is a gun culture. You can deny it all you want but that is what happen.
The Court ruling was good but had nothing to do with the fact that Canadians simply did not register the weapons like the filthy government told them to do.
I didn't have to "deny" it -- I documented it. Unlike, say, all of your posts.
But while we're here, tell us --- if guns are this paradise panacea god to be worshiped and genuflected before, holy holy alleluia, how come you don't want anybody to know you have them?
All you did was document a court decision. You ignored the mass civil disobedience. Canadians did not register their guns when they were told to do it by the filthy ass government. That is undeniable.
