[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) I am a big time left wing guy and I love guns. Of course I believe in gun control, but I do not believe in most gun bans. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] safesyrup@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Me too. I am left wing and shoot guns weekly. I live in switzerland and it is not a issue at all because there are strict regulations. You cannot aquire an automatic rifle without special permissions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 point 11 months ago The problem is that some countries, like Canada, are hell bent on destroying shooting sports. No joke. The gun bans in canada over the past 5 years (there have been no changes in the licensing schemes, BTW, meaning it is not harder to get a gun than it was) is effectively turning almost all shooting sport variations untenable. It is stupid and they need to stop that. The licensing scheme is fine enough, they don't need to ban every semi-automatic rifle in existence or stop new handguns from being sold. The regulations on handguns in Canada were highly effective and they could have even legalized pocket pistols for collecting and casual sport shooting and it would not have made a difference. permalink fedilink source parent
