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..

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...
