They only know guns through media reports of gang violence and, having nothing to lose and everything to gain, support the Liberals and their firearms OICs and promises of legislation to come. Our rights as Canadians are not considered in this at all. The Eastern voters are clutching at straws to disarm the city gangs. As you say, they're looking for a false sense of security.

All that the government has to do , is to tell everyone that a new regulation is meant to protect the public, and many people will not question it. Just like with masks, the firearms ban doesn't bring in any revenue for the government, in fact it will cost billions, so why did they enact the ban? What did they have to gain? Quite simply, they did it to demonstrate control over the people, and to see how far they can push the citizens, before the citizens resist. Just like the firearms ban,the mask restriction is only the start, the next push will likely be for mandatory vaccinations, and down the road microchips for everyone. It will take time, just as it will take time to totally disarm Canadians, but the process has to start somewhere.
