Habs Season Thread: Offseason 2025

Habsy, you have any friends who are dems? I don't know any liberals here, mostly because I play sports and hang around guys who know what a woman is and don't wear lipstick. I can always tell by the way someone looks how they lean politically. Rugged/Tough = Conservative, post op = liberal.
 
I have friends across the spectrum. They're logical and can debate points logically without using regurgitated media nonsense. I have liberal, libertarian, gay, trans, straight, not so straight although they keep claiming they are, rednecks, trumpers. You name it. How is that possible? I'm a true libertarian. I don't tell you how to live, you don't tell me how to live. What you do in your life is your business, not mine. I actually walk the talk.
 
Guns are taken away from mass shooters too. Double standard.

Same with shooters.

Right or privilege is irrelevant. Both drunk driving homicide and shooting homicide are dealt with similarly AFTER the fact yet only guns are wanted gone. Cars give the drunkard the ability to kill again. There are thousands of cases of a drunk getting freed only to kill again behind the wheel. There are no cases of a mass shooter doing so. It's a double standard and illogical. On one you want to blame the weapon yet on the other the person. There is no difference, it's the person... always.

Look I get it in Canada. Canada wasn't born from the gun and it isn't woven into the fabric. The gun ship sailed 250 years ago in this country and you simply aren't changing it.
Oh, believe me, I am under no illusions about the US ever changing course on guns. The 2nd Amendment is sacrosanct, especially with Republicans in charge.

But....

The 1st Amendment regarding freedom of speech and freedom of the press?
The 4th, regarding unlawful search and seizure?
The 10th, regarding the division of powers between the states and the federal government?
The 13th, regarding the abolition of slavery?
The 14th, regarding the right to due process?
The 15th, regarding voting rights, specifically with regard to sex, race, color or creed?
The 19th, regarding women's voting rights?
The 22nd, regarding Presidential term limits?
The 25th, regarding the removal of a President from office when he goes insane...?

Yeah, not so interested in preserving those ones.
 
Like every country some are interested in preserving and some aren't. When you get less than 50% of the country turning out to vote, this is what you get.
 
I am a Jew! But, I lost a large portion of my family due to not being able to protect ourselves. Wehave will be at my front door the second the zombies come. In Canada, firearms used in violent crimes is less than 3%. As seen in Vancouver's mass deadly killing by a vehicle, it's not a problem in Canada. Especially not by legal owners, and again, there are some crazies that go against that. But would they have killed with a car/knife etc.. as well? Probably so.
If you're referring to the Holocaust your family wouldn't have been able to protect themselves from the Nazis without having their own panzers and howitzers. A few rifles wouldn't have saved them.

This is the same shit I hear from the militia people in the States who want to protect themselves from the gubment by arming themselves to the teeth and living in the backwoods eating freeze dried pizza. The government has tanks, fighter planes, and a literal army numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Ask David Koresh how things went for him and the Branch Dividians in Waco. They were heavily armed. They still ended up dead.
 
I am 100% in support of Gun Control , Bill C 21 was/is a great idea until it went too far and was an over reach in regards to hunting rifles.
Yeah, that bill turned into virtue signalling. That’s the kind of bullshit that made me hate Trudeau so much. He’s a big ball of private school educated privileged white guilt. Barf.

You must live in Berta, and if you don't, you need to move here because you'll fit right in with the yokels who think that Theo Fleury is smart.
 
10 dead or 1 does matter a shit ton.

Guns make it way too easy to act on your mental health problems. I’d fucking love to have to deal with a knifing problem instead of a mass shooting one.
If your issue is mass shootings of course the easy thing to do is blame the gun. It's a shooting for petes sake. But I'll ask you again, a guy plows through a crowd with a truck, why aren't you blaming the truck?
 
I'm not a gun guy and have never owned one (have shot a few) and Mrs. Count is a crack shot, but it is not up to me to tell someone else what he/she can own.
I was given a gun when I was 14 years old because the expectation from my grandfather was that I would learn to hunt and provide meat for my family. I have three they are all registered locked kept safe, the ammunition stored separately. And they’re pretty fucking fun.

Communist!!!! How dare you have fun with firearms by following the law!!! Oh, for now they’ll innocently ask you to be a responsible gun owner, but next thing you know they’ll inject a microchip in yer brain and lock you up with MS-13 trannie terrorists!!! Do yer own research!!!

My issue are school massacres specifically. And I don’t think teenagers have the mental capacity and maturity for the responsibilities that comes with a gun.

The primary purpose of a gun is killing, and the ownership of such a powerful tool should be scrutinized. A truck main purpose is not killing. But if truck plowing becomes an issue, I also would look to do something about it.

I’m not against gun ownership, but I’m in favor of gun control and minimum age requirement.
