Handgun freeze in Canada and five-round limit on magazines

[TU Curmudgeon]

It's clear that you believe that the American healthcare system, despite being the most expensive in the world, fails to provide accessible healthcare to the population.

You left out the "all of" bit.

You feel that the argument made by some on the American right, that Canadians don't have access to healthcare, is a lie

Well, since they believe the false statement of fact, it isn't really a "lie" - it's just "false".

and that repeating urban myths won't change the reality.

Which they it won't.

Regarding the weather, you mention that you live on the west coast and that -8 C is considered a cold winter day for you.

I'd say that most people would consider that 17.6°F would qualify as "a cold winter day".

You don't see the relevance of comparing the health of the population in the US to that of other developed countries,

You might want to take a look at some data that isn't sourced from FOX News and verified by Tucker Carlson. Did you know that, out of the top 100 "healthiest" countries in the world, the US ranks as #45?

especially considering that many third-world countries have longer lifespans than America.

That may well be due to the fact that the US ranks 75th out of 185 countries with respect to "Healthy Years of Live at Birth". (Canada comes in an abysmal 18th)

Lastly, you use golf and pickleball as examples to suggest that Canadians are still active and engaged in life, even as they age, while Americans seem to "shrivel up and die."

And your point would be - what?

Overall, it seems like you have a critical perspective on the American healthcare system and its impact on the population's overall health and well-being.

You do know what the word "critical" means, don't you? It means to "examine and report". Quite frankly, the US is simply NOT getting the "bang for the bucks" from its healthcare spending that other countries are.

As an example, look at this table

​

you will see that, overall, the US is getting around 57.49% of the value of a healthcare dollar that the other members of the "G-8+China" group do AND, with respect to numbers adjusted according to "healthcare spending per capita", it comes in at a wonderful 21.79%.

Government’s to introduce Bill C-21, as Justin Trudeau says sport shooting and hunting the only grounds for ‘everyday’ gun ownership

...

Canada’s government is to legislate for a national freeze on handgun ownership that would prevent people buying and selling them anywhere in the country.

“The day this legislation goes into effect it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns in Canada,” said the prime minister, Justin Trudeau.

The government will also require long-gun magazines to be permanently altered so they can never hold more than five rounds, and will ban the sale and transfer of large capacity magazines.

“Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives,” Trudeau said.

If passed, the freeze on handguns is expected to come into force in the autumn. Canada’s public safety minister had tabled regulatory amendments in parliament to ensure it can be implemented swiftly, a ministry statement said.

The killing of 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Texas in the United States has fed concern about gun violence worldwide. Canada already has significantly stronger gun ownership restrictions than its neighbour to the south.

The new legislation, Bill C-21, also proposes taking away the firearms licences of those involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking.

If the bill passes, it will further restrict access to guns, particularly handguns, which have been involved in numerous shootings in the country. The proposed measures also address the issue of domestic violence and stalking, where firearms can be used as a tool of intimidation and control. This legislation sends a strong message that Canada is taking gun control seriously and is committed to reducing the number of gun-related incidents in the country. However, critics argue that the proposed measures only affect law-abiding gun owners and that criminals will still find ways to obtain firearms illegally. Overall, the legislation aims to strike a balance between individual rights and public safety, which will undoubtedly continue to be a topic of debate as the bill makes its way through parliament.

And German Jews may have felt the same about Germany, until Kristallnacht.

A response that shows that the poster is not aware that the handgun ownership restrictions in Germany were NOT imposed by the Nazis, but rather by the (reasonably) conservative governments of the Weimar Republic.

It also show what the poster is not aware of the difference between "unabashed and mindless support for Donald John Trump {BBHN}" and "supporting a democratic form of government".

BTW, you are aware that COYOTE is a support organization for sex trade workers, aren't you?

Sounds like a good bill, for the most part. I'd allow handguns for people who are facing a specific threat that they want to protect themselves against though. For example, if a woman knows she's being stalked by a crazy ex who has a gun, I think she should be able to get a gun too.

I am well aware of the Weimar provenance of gun registration. I am also aware that that registration made the job of confiscating guns from Jews much easier for the Nazis.

I have nothing against sex workers, a difference in Degree, not Kind, from a lot of wives. However, I took the name of my Spirit Animal, a non-pack individualist.

You'll learn how this works.
For example, I touched the button at the bottom right of your post that says, 'reply' which quoted your post and let you know you'd been replied to.
I suggest you look at my post that you're replying to with an eye to the context. For example, the reference to golf and pickleball was me quoting the post I was replying to.

Mr. Trudeau doesn't appear to be aware of the hobby of "historical reenactment". Canadians participate in military reenactments of all periods (including the American Civil War [in which around 40,000 {out of a population of around 2,400,000} fought - mostly on the side of the Union government]) and most of those military and civilian activities were ones where handgun possession was normal.

PS - While, in many areas the handgun ownership requirements in Canada (where you have to have taken and passed a course in firearms safety in order to possess ANY firearms [and a second course directed specifically at handguns if you want to possess handguns) are more stringent than they are in the US (where, in some jurisdictions, the requirement to own a hand gun is the ability to hand over the purchase price to the vendor), in one specific area they are less stringent than in the US.

In Canada people do not automatically receive lifetime bans on possessing firearms simply because they were convicted of a criminal offence (and not necessarily one involving either guns or violence) that falls in the "more serious than a misdemeanor" category. In Canada the state has to convince the courts that a "firearms ban" is appropriate (and for how long that ban should stay in effect). In that proceeding the person potentially subject to the ban has all the same rights as a person accused of a criminal offence. In the US there is no requirement for the state to convince anyone of anything and the ban is imposed, willy-nilly, by bureaucratic fiat which cannot be challenged (in other words, the person subject to the potential ban has no rights respecting it whatsoever).
