As a RPAL holder, I think the new regulation is stupid. This is purely punishing those who abide laws because there less of them and there's less resistance.

People who have the motive would not stop because we made firearms illegal.

For people on here who can't understand the way we feel... an appropriate way to put it for this car-centric forum would be the federal gov't announcing that we are banning all cars capable of going more than 120km/hr and limit all cars' acceleration from 0-100 to 10sec because car accidents kill too many people every year and there's no need for such a fast acceleration in daily driving.

Does it make sense? Just because cars are capable of those fast speeds aren't the reason causing so many accidents. Instead, more strict licensing scheme, better training are what would ultimately lead to fewer accidents.

For firearms.. having the ability to kill is not the problem. Many products in our daily life can be lethal if used inappropriately. Many of the anti-gun people here, your logic is what? Oh, it doesn't affect me... the less gun the safer.

But that logic is seriously flawed. For gang members (the vast majority of our shootings) who want access to firearms, they would get it... one way or the other. This can be seen in many Asian countries where guns are totally outlawed, but guns still exist in those countries. Mass shooters... if the end goal was to hurt/kill many people, there are many ways and many things that we have access with little to no restrictions that can achieve that goal. And then what? We just ban them all? I don't see Trudeau making a huge deal about cars last time during the Toronto incident. And the reason is simple... it didn't make sense to limit it and there would be far too much resistance.
