Statistically, firearms are the most commonly used weapon in homicides, and restricting or banning guns has been shown in multiple countries and states to decrease crime rates.

Hunting for recreational purposes is already hard enough due to posted land,and many rules like that, and gun control laws would only make it so much more difficult for families just trying to have fun hunting like mine, to have that option. It's what I grew up with but now hunting is almost a miserable time because it's so difficult not to break a law.

There should be gun control because if everyone is allowed to own a gun then no one is safe because anyone can shoot anyone at any given time.

In my opinion any normal person should not be allowed to have a gun at all, rather it should only be for any government or states person, police, army, etc.
I say this because there are so many shootings happening and I think that most people who want it to be easier to buy guns, are the bigger threats.
For regular people there criminal records should be checked if they want to buy a gun and also check what they do for a living to better understand the reliability of that person.

Stricter gun purchase restrictions are not about undermining the Second Amendment but about finding a balance to enhance public safety. Comprehensive background checks, waiting periods, and improved training can help prevent misuse and protect our communities.

If we allow our Gun Control Laws to be like America's we will end up with more shootings and gun based crime then we already have

I DONT WANT PEOPLE SHOOTING ME BECAUSE I STEPPED ON THEIR LAWN OR WHEN IM AT SCHOOL OR BECAUSE I LOOKED IN THEIR DIRECTION LIKE OMG I HATE GUNS PLEASE DIE

as soon as you start to control the sale of guns, it only stops the people who use guns for self-defense or hunting to buy them. criminals will always obtain them weather its legal or not

In my opinion, the best argument for gun control is that people should not have guns with them and at home, and only police and military personnel should be allowed to carry firearms, because if anyone has a firearm, the country will become an unsafe place.

In this generation, it is more important than ever to support stricter gun control measures. Personally, I think we have to consider the upsetting amount of gun related incidents and mass shootings that are taking place, stricter gun regulations can help keep guns out of reach from certain people who could be a threat to society. I'm not saying take away the rights of gun owners who are responsibly handling them, what I'm saying is by creating measures such as background checks can potentially make our communities and innocent people a lot safer. The safety of individuals in a community should always be a priority, and stricter gun control is a great step in order to protect the lives of innocent individuals.

You can't drive a car without a license and training, why should you be able to operate a firearm without one?

take me for example i use a gun to hunt deer, turkeys etc, I have taken all the safety courses and know the limits and rules. but for somebody to not know thats what ruins it so everyone should know basic gun rules and if they have mental problems not be allowed to fire one

The vast majority of firearms used in crimes in Canada are stolen or bought in the USA and smuggled into Canada so the laws put in place restricting the ownership of firearms don't do anything to prevent these crimes.

Idk I think you shouldn’t have a gun because it’s dumb you don’t need to kill someone and with nobody owning a gun this allows people to go outside without fear of dying due to gun violence.

One counter argument to the "No" position on gun control, which typically opposes stricter regulations, could be:

While it's essential to protect individuals' rights to own firearms responsibly, implementing reasonable gun control measures doesn't necessarily infringe on those rights. Such measures can help address public safety concerns by reducing gun-related crimes, accidents, and fatalities. Regulations like background checks, waiting periods, and licensing requirements aim to ensure that firearms are only in the hands of law-abiding citizens who are mentally and emotionally fit to possess them. These measures can contribute to a safer society without significantly impeding the rights of responsible gun owners.

gun violence has only increased over the past 10 years despite the many new gun policies put into place. other then that there are many causes to gun violence that ARE NOT the guns themself. if we banned guns entirely people who want to commit mass murder would b left with more dangerous options, such as driving into crowd with a car or creating bombs and killing many many more people than they would with a gun.

Most gun crimes in Canada aren’t committed by registered gun owners but criminals who have gotten a gun illegally

There should be more restrictions when buying a gun, due to high amounts of school shootings and general gun violence we need to stop as many people from getting ahold of guns, some suggestions could be a hunting license being mandatory, simply abolish people having guns for no reason.

If we gotten all of the regulations for buying a firearm then how come someone could just buy one for their child?

Stricter gun controls would help us greatly. We would see a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the number of deaths related to gun violence.

if there are no restrictions on purchasing a gun the country would fall apart due to the fact people who are unfit would be purchasing a gun and we would not know how it’s being used

Bill C-21 has been completely ineffective at lowering crime. In fact, gun crime has increased since the liberals were in power.

People that plan to do illegal things with guns, I don’t believe they often obtain them legally. So putting restrictions will just reduce the amount of people that want to hunt. Hunting and sport shooting is an activity that brings people closer together.

Eliminating the risk of weapon misuse entirely and weapon crime offences can only be achieved by making it entirely illegal and impossible to acquire such weapons

If you really want to help stop violence with guns then make buildings such as schools or other open public places more secure with armed security or arm the citizens to take out threats. With armed citizens they can easily take out threats with their arms and not have to worry about more people getting killed.

random people shouldnt be carrying a gun around we should use them for the sick and ill or disabled.

I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lessen the gun violence/school shootings in the country.

If someone broke into my house, I would definitely want a gun to protect myself. In times like this, the police response time while good most likely isn't going to be fast enough and i'm not going to be intimidated in my own house. even with the freeze on handguns now, there are still shootings that happen with handguns. In years 2021-2022, 890 firearms were seized at the Canada border. That's only the ones they caught. The actual number of illegal firearms making it through the border would be way higher than that. By taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, it will just take away the ability for them to protect themselves which would inevitably lead to an increase in crime like we are currently seeing.

When looking at gun crimes, you will see that the majority are committed by criminals, not by hunters, sport shooters, hobbyists, etc. A good example is the UK, which has gun violence even tho nearly all guns are banned there, aside from a few hunting rifles/shotguns.

No we shouldn't ban guns because criminals get guns illegally so the law of banning guns only affects that legal gun owners.

I believe that people should be legal age to buy a gun, proper ID, police clearance and a good explanation of why a gun is needed other than hunting. Protection of your household only if kept locked up in a safe.

The best counter-argument to the "no position" on gun control would be to emphasize the importance of implementing stricter gun control measures to ensure public safety and reduce gun-related violence. This could involve advocating for comprehensive background checks, limiting access to high-capacity firearms, and promoting responsible gun ownership. It's crucial to prioritize the well-being of individuals and communities by preventing unnecessary harm.

The best counter argument would that it is good to take position on gun control because if the opposing person doesn't then they can be vulnerable to crime relating to the firearm.

Guns are killers, people who have purchases guns have gone to schools and killed innocent kids and people... there should be a lot more gun control

Gun Control could be implementing stricter gun control measures can help reduce gun related violence and promote public safety

I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lower the gun violence and school shootings in the country.

Guns lead to violence in hands of certain public, no guns in the hands of certain public would lead to less or no violence.

Guns don’t kill peopl, people kill people. Look what is going on in the uk knife violence is higher than any other country

I think that people should be allowed to own firearms because a firearm is a tool that is used for many things such as hunting for food , for protection and recreational use. It is unconstitutional to take this away peoples lively hoods from them. However background checks are important before purchasing a firearm but the federal government should not be allowed to do what they are doing

The only way to reduce gun violence and protect citizens is by making guns less accessible to everybody.

I think having more restriction on gun control can help in having less violent acts and less school shootings

My best counter argument for No position on Gun Control is that the more gus the worse and more shootings the less guns the better with less shootings.

I think that my best counter argument to the no position on gun control is that it can help reduce gun related violence and promote public safety.

the liberals have no idea what they are talking about because the guy who wrote the law has no idea about guns or hunting.
