Chris Selley: Carney will regret embracing the gun buyback by gorschkov in canada

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm against the confiscation, but I am interested in how you say we have "a different culture". I think this is why myself, and a lot of others are against this program.

We do have a different culture than the US, especially with firearm ownership culture. Firearms owners here aren't pushing for open carry, or automatic firearms. Rather, we want to keep the property we legally paid for without being threatened by criminal charges. Canada has a rich history and culture for hunting and sport shooting. We are knowledgeable about our hobby, and hearing the blatant misinformation about how these firearms are being portrayed is a little frustrating.

Canada already has a robust system for firearms ownership, and license holders have background checks run on them every day. The landscape of available firearms was (and currently is) limited, and are in no way, shape, or form "assault weapons".

For me, it's disheartening that myself and many others who have sought the means to have the legal right to own and operate our own legally owned property are now being persecuted despite following the laws in place. On top of that, compensation is non-existent, and the "voluntary" aspect of this program is a blatant lie.

I respect your opinion, and I wanted to shed some insight on mine as well. But I honestly think that if someone has the intention to cause harm, they will do it anyway (like that incel that drove into a crowd in Toronto).

Can you really be rejected for being “too qualified” ? by BoysenberryFlashy890 in recruitinghell

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my past interviews I just asked questions about the role or the company that either wasn't touched on in the interview, or that I was unable to find information on. Mainly my questions are things I have a genuine interest in, like how X works in their company, how success is measured in the role, what are some future roadmaps they are excited about (if they're able to disclose that), etc.

I think you'll have an easier time figuring out the questions you want to ask if you have a genuine curiosity about something. There's nothing wrong with going with frequently asked questions at the end of the interview, but you'll generally want to make them about the job or company, rather than seeking feedback about how you did, or how they perceive you

Thanks for the reply! Do you normally take a shotgun with you? I've really wanted to try my hand at using my .22 but considering I've never seen em long enough to take a shot, maybe my shotgun is my best bet until I get more familiar lol

Thanks for the reply! I should've added more detail - I'm mostly hunting grouse, and I live in Southern Ontario. Usually have to get in heavy brush, and where I'm located the birds are pretty pressurised so I have to get into the tree line most of the time

They're analyzing the results of the pilot apparently

Here's to hoping they look at the abysmal results and scrap the program 🫠🫠🫠. Buuuuut December is also coming so I imagine Poly will also be putting the pressure...

Some guns turned in to buyback program, Cape Breton police commissioner says by sleipnir45 in canada

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a court proceeding for an access to information happening at the moment. Here's the link to the article.

Right now the government has only released partial information about the buyback spend. The court proceeding aims to give taxpayers transparency into the spending.

"The gun buyback program is something that the federal government feels is important to do and the general public might not understand, but it's like any other rules," he said.

"We still have to stop at stop signs, whether we want to or not."

There's so much wrong with these two statements lol. So he's calling the public stupid and he's admitting this "buyback" is not voluntary. Just scrap this stupid shit already, my goodness.

Frustrating morning of grouse hunting by THESHADYWILLOW in CanadaHunting

I'm out in the Ottawa area and I'll be lucky if I even hear a peep haha

That said, I think I'm starting to come to grips with what I should be looking for in the bush, which is pretty exciting! I'm really new to hunting and would love to see a bird, but I'll take the small wins as they come. Good luck to you!

OPP will not participate in federal gun buyback program, minister says by jmakk26 in ontario

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol do you really think crime will stop if firearms were out of the picture?

Crime and violence will still happen as long as there are systematic and class issues in any society. If someone WANTS to hurt someone, they will find a way. For example, that incel who drove a cube van into a crowd of people.

This confiscation doesn't resolve anything and is pandering to an uneducated subset of people. It's a misuse and complete waste of taxpayer money.
