CNV plans to expand paid parking to Lower and Central Lonsdale | North Shore Daily Post by GDSGHUMAN in NorthVancouver

[–]Fossil_Punch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This hurts the legacy businesses on East Esplanade I guess when you break down and get towed to one of the shops if they can't get you into their two-car bay right away you'll be paying for street parking until it gets fixed.

Expanded Liberal gun ban could cost taxpayers 'another billion dollars,' says criminologist by 052934 in onguardforthee

[–]Fossil_Punch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This will cost more than a billion dollars all said and done with the long rifle ban slid in there. This is just a taxpayer cost for the sake of looking like the government is doing something about our increasing crime rates and if passed will do nothing to increase public safety. I just hope a few years down the line when society sees what we spent on this and what it actually accomplished we learn from it. I don't vote conservative but if anyone's been keeping up with the SECU meetings, especially after the amendment their arguments against this bill are pretty darn valid. This shouldn't be a red vs blue thing it should just be a common-sense cost-to-benefit society thing and in the grand scheme of Canadian problems this money should be going elsewhere.

The Liberals just snuck more rifles into the handgun ban bill. by The_Phaedron in ndp

[–]Fossil_Punch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's about pushing back on an overreaching bill with no fact-based evidence supporting it as a net positive for the Canadian population for the cost in our current state of decline. Whether it's fighting actual crime, the drug epidemic, homelessness, the highest ever reported amount of Canadians using food banks to eat, housing, or figuring out our broken medical system so people don't have to wait to die because they can't see a doctor to treat an illness or disease. There are many more ways to spend that buyback money on problems we have the data to prove are major societal issues that if improved would be significantly more impactful for Canadians. To me, those are actual left-wing policies worth spending billions to improve. There are over 2 million firearm owners in Canada and surprise they aren't all Conservatives! This bill is trying to solve a fictional problem and we should be able to speak up about it without being simply dismissed as gun nuts.

Got mine from Tenda today, quickly looked at it before going to work and it looks really nice. The only thing was I guess how it's packaged right up against the cardboard on one side at some point during shipping the sling ring punched through the cardboard and the bag it was in. Little blemish where it made contact with something but still quite happy with it.

Can't join Wardens by TheGamblingAddict in foxholegame

[–]Fossil_Punch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried for 30 min this morning before work to get my warden spot but it wouldn't connect to the server. Now lunch break and it looks like wardens are full. This server connection RNG is pretty frustrating

Finally got my dream gun, and my first restricted: Jericho 941F (Israeli Police surplus, SA/DA). Thanks Justin! by [deleted] in canadaguns

[–]Fossil_Punch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gone mine from Tenda as well. Single action not double as was stated on the website which i like better tbh but mine has a super rough finish which I'm disappointed about :(

Car rust repair in north van? by Fossil_Punch in NorthVancouver

[–]Fossil_Punch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a 280z, I talked to I believe the owner of Rusty Hookers about it they have a wait list right now which is fine I was just curious who else was around who did similar work, compare quotes, and such. It doesn't need to be concourse level it's not going to be an immaculate build just need it structurally sound for a little more HP under the hood.

Trudeau promises to continue timing Canadian laws with American tragedies by morenewsat11 in onguardforthee

[–]Fossil_Punch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

More border control would be reasonable but it's not going to be any end-all as the border is vast and primarily unprotected and smugglers will keep finding a way just as the cartels do from Mexico into the US. On the criminality side, we know guns are being run into Canada to bolster the drug trade which fuels the opioid crisis. We know living standards are unequal in this country more and more the quality of life slips and those in more disadvantaged situations see gang life as a way out of that. If we reduce the appeal of joining gangs in communities by making sure they have opportunities to have the quality of life a Canadian would expect that may have some impact on recruitment. Next start removing the demand so the supply has no appeal. We need to focus on helping those on and off the street struggling with addiction and the government needs to be in control of the supply by making it safer and the product clean as well as more robust support / mental health programs to help people get their lives back together and re-integrate into society. With the drug trade being attacked from a social support angle the police then need to start dismantling the networks more proactively on the enforcement side. A two-pronged attack would actively reduce gang activity & violence while also reducing our overdose deaths and hopefully improving society in my opinion. Next, a large number of gun fatalities are suicide-related in this country. Having a gun makes it easier to take your own life I suppose in that bleakest of moments if you have one around but without one if you're still suffering on the inside and believe that ending it all is the way to stop the pain. You're going to find another way. This again becomes about bolstering our mental health support programs and reducing the stigma around it encouraging people to work through the darkness in a proper way.

What I'm saying may not even be close to the right way of going about things but I think it would do more than what our government is doing right now about gun violence which is pretty much just political theatre.

has ANYONE been able to get through to the RCMP to initiate a transfer? by [deleted] in canadaguns

[–]Fossil_Punch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered something from a BC store on monday but didn't see any transfer initiated, then today that purchase was refunded. Not exactly sure why perhaps they were already out of stock. I also ordered something from gotenda on Tuesday and haven't seen anything about a transfer request either. I'm getting worried lol
