I am a Canadian ... and today I voted in our federal election...

I am a Canadian, a Jew and I am licensed to possess firearms including what we call restricted firearms in Canada - which are handguns and I take proficiency VERY seriously..

Of the main parties in Canada being Liberal and Conservative one of these two has shown itself to be deeply anti semitic.. and that same party has repeatedly attacked citizens who are licensed for firearms.. In Canada firearms are not permitted to be used for self defence - their only legal use is for hunting or sport shooting (target shooting).. Handguns are restricted to range use only ... More over one of those parties has had an immigration policy that has resulted in an explosion of anti semitic hate crimes and has caused a crisis in housing and strains on our health care system..

So I voted, then I took my Mother to vote and my Wife will vote tomorrow..

I 100% agree with the second amendment based on my experience.

I went into a local Wetherspoons doing a bit of light recruiting for the 'Norwich Independence Army'

Yes, I was arrested by armed police. Yes, I was recruiting for a Norfolk-based paramilitary group. But in my defence, I thought it was Bring a Weapon Wednesday. Turns out it was Curry Club 😒

When they said ‘you can’t bring that in here’, I thought they meant my Tesco meal deal. Turns out they meant the Mossberg 500 pump-action and laminated pamphlets about seceding from the UK. Easy mistake 😅

I was escorted out by armed police mid-scampi. One minute I’m explaining regional sovereignty over a pint of Doom Bar, the next I’m face-down on a sticky carpet being read my rights.

Turns out the Second Amendment doesn’t apply in Norwich. Or Wetherspoons. Or the UK. Bit of an oversight in my legal research, which was mainly based on an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger.
@AlanAPartridge Lorraine, or bacon and brie?
@AlanAPartridge Oh, I forgot the shop was out of brie, and leichester, and stilton, cheddar, roquefort, gouda, parmesan, meunster, pepperjack, did you just shoot me?
@AlanAPartridge A Brit's reaction to a gun shop video, and the ease of most Americans ability to purchase them...[media=https://youtu.be/iLQLfagxFzs]

See they want us to be register and licensed to have guns in the USA.

But you can get them so easy here. Its like going to the gas station and buying gasoline.

Many follow the laws and many do not. There are many responsible gun owners that never registered their gun or have a license to carry one.

Because they don't want the government to know they have them. Because they believed in the second amendment shouldn't come with a laws attached to it.

That's great skill. It just sucks that they do that to everyone. When just little over years ago. Everyone could own guns, boarders didn't matter, and terrorist came from its own government.

But once they got all the North American Indians nearly wiped out to near extinction. That's when the governments governments started to turn against its own citizens and find reasons to take guns away from people

@HumanEarth Its partially skill and partially technology.. I use a semi automatic 22 calibre target pistol with a bull barrel and I have had it fit with a reflex sight.. a red dot.. No recoil, and with that sight extremely easy to aim and exceptionally and consistently accurate.. The ongoing persecution of gun rights in Canada has evolved and has become exceedingly invasive.. Its time to impart some common sense into this idiocy.. We are in desperate need of a Conservative majority government...
I'm afraid the choices are not so clear to me. And I have to decide.😵‍💫😬😖

@Guardian So let me ask you.. do you think it's ok that the Liberal Government has made life very dangerous for Jews in Canada? Jews that were BORN in Canada.... Do you have Jewish friends or have Jewish people you work with? That is ONE issue of many upon which I judged the Liberals and the Conservatives.. Carney came out yesterday agreeing that Israel had committed Genocide.. (they have done no such thing).. and used his false assertion to justify an arms embargo on Israel... He has pledged to give $100 million dollars of YOUR money to the Palestinians.. Are you ok with that?

I mean people who do not shoot recreationally or hunt - honestly don't much care about gun owners in this nation and many are willing to hang us out to dry ... its not right but I understand the ambivalence.. there are 2.4 million of us and we and our families are motivated to go vote...

The housing crisis and price elevation is directly a factor of out of control immigration policy fostered by the liberal government.. Rent and mortgages are impossible these days..

When you break it down.. its like eating a large steak - you need to examine it one bite at a time.. Then the conclusion is a bit easier to come by....

@deadinternet your riding has a Conservative MP... Mark Strahl - our riding unfortunately has a Liberal MP and we are working hard to flip this riding back to Conservative with Roman Baber... The Liberals have made it DANGEROUS to be a Jew in Canada ... they have made life impossible for the people and its time for a change..

Seems weird that one isn't allowed to use a gun in self defense

@NativePortlander1970 Sadly there are probably many people who would be just as illogical as the cartoon character, so not spot the satire.

@sstronaut its actually WORSE than this.. I have a specific license for restricted firearms issued by the Federal Government who takes a fee for it on an ongoing basis... The same government that issued me a license for possession and acquisition banned everyone from being able to buy a handgun or to sell one or to transfer one to another license holder... That is ridiculous.. The situation now is that crimes with a handgun have exploded as they are smuggled into the country from the USA... Criminals are shooting people on the streets every day... while the legal gun licence holders are prohibited from buying one.. The Conservative Party has promised to over turn this ridiculous ban in the next election... There are NO carry permits allowed for those who have handguns... The handgun must be kept in a locked safe in your home and transport is permitted only between the home and the range and back again.. No stops on the way... If I am taking friends to the range I must pick them up first, return home, get the pistol, then go to the range.. then on the way back I must go directly home and put the gun back in the safe - unloaded and trigger locked ... The gun storage and transport laws eliminate any option for self defence with a firearm... If one is used that way - even if justified .. you have been deemed to have broken the safe storage laws.. This week there was a home invasion - four criminals one with a gun broke into a home to get the car keys so they could steal the cars in the garage.. if the home owner had a fire arm it was locked up unloaded in a safe and unavailable for self defence... That is what they want..

@NativePortlander1970 Ah - well yes the Liberal Government is the enemy of all licensed gun owners.. and they are not popular among Jews either having shown their anti semitism large and put us in massive danger with their immigration policies... My own MP ... pictured holding hands with the leader of the Palestinian Authority wearing a Palestinian head scarf... The liberals have promised to give $100 million dollars of OUR money to the Palestinians so they can kill more Jews.. Meanwhile here multiple arrests / convictions of Muslims who have done hate crimes to Jews in Canada. The Liberals have more than doubled the number of Muslims in Canada in the last five years.. The escalation in population has correlated directly to the escalation in hate crimes and yes its Muslims who are being arrested and charged with these crimes..

Its DANGEROUS to be a Jew in Canada...

Hopefully, after Trudeau's treasonous actions during Covid against the Canadian People, that the conservatives sweep the election and restores rights back to You all. My own firearms...

I'm planning on picking up another one within the month, I'm going to look at it tomorrow and put 50% down on it to ensure I get it...

@NativePortlander1970 I am VERY sorry for your ongoing ill effects.. One thing about me is that I am fact based and possess an analytical mind. I came to the conclusion on 22 calibre based on performance data as my guidance, I am the same way with illness and preventing it.. fact based not innuendo, not opinions, not supposition facts - cold hard facts. I have a Daughter who mistakenly believed her early Covid gave her immunity.. Nope not the second time and not the third time either.. Then she got RSV and was REALLY miserable.. She figured she knew everything better.. She did not.. The fact is I never got it, I was careful and I got vaccinated.. and I have no ill effects from the vaccinations either.. It's heart breaking enough for a parent to burry a child. in the case of the fellow I knew who died - his Grandmother was at his funeral. I am a very strange case... I am 67 no grey hair, no eyewear with perfect vision from both eyes, no medications, none... crazy flexibility - I can touch my nose with my big toe.. no pains... for some strange reason the normal effects of aging have been delayed in me.. I have a Brother in law ten years younger who has worn eye glasses before he was 40 and I can thread the needle on a sewing machine and see a mark on the water over a mile away...
@pdqsailor1 I am so very sorry for your loss :(
