    Should drive turnout for Carney.

    Ah yes another liberal who’ll fail to defend our countries borders, another Trudeau but this time with pizzaz.

    If there ever is a war with the US I sure as shit want access to real firearms, none of this 3 rounds per mag headache we got now.

      And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?

      We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you’ll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.

        You misunderstand.

        Yes, one Canadian with an assault rifle can’t do much against 5 American drones.

        But one Canadian with an assault rifle can do much against 5 off-duty American soldiers relaxing in a restaurant.
