Sunshine (she/her)@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Gun control group urges PM Carney to ensure 'timely delivery' on firearm commitmentsEnglish31·3 天前PolySeSouvient’s letter, dated last Friday, is copied to others, including Provost, current Public Safety Minister David McGuinty and Rachel Bendayan, a former associate public safety minister.
The group says the new public safety minister should be directed to:
— build an incentive package in the buyback program to encourage early compliance;
— conduct meaningful consultations with stakeholders before draft bills, regulations, directives and public education campaigns are made public;
— immediately launch an investigation into the classification of the SKS, a rifle that has been used in mass and police shootings, to find a solution that protects public safety and respects Indigenous rights to hunt;
— eliminate all loopholes, exemptions and exceptions related to magazine capacity.
We should hastily implement every recommendation.

PolySeSouvient includes students and graduates of Montreal’s École Polytechnique, where a gunman killed 14 women in 1989.

That’s the same argument made against seat belts, masks and vaccines.
Sunshine (she/her)@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Gun control group urges PM Carney to ensure 'timely delivery' on firearm commitmentsEnglish21·3 天前Few recent Canadian mass shooters had criminal records of any kind, for example, and most obtained their weapons legally (although the Portapique killer did not).
the remaining 20 to 25 per cent of firearm deaths that are not suicide, the data is unclear but appears to follow the Canadian homicide pattern of 31 per cent resulting from family violence. The presence of a gun in a household struggling with heavy drinking, domestic violence and other stresses is inherently intimidating and deadly.
The family violence crisis is not just about deaths; it’s also about the health of the home environment. Thousands of Canadian women and children are forced to seek shelter from violence and abuse every day, while many more live in fear.
The northern and rural regions of all provinces experience significantly higher homicide rates than southern and metropolitan regions.
This tracks with data from the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians showing significantly higher gun ownership in northern, rural and Indigenous communities.
So although the overall picture is complex, the dominant themes are remarkably clear. Given the driving patterns of self-harm and gun violence, a phased-in reduction of easy access to weapons is likely to yield significant results over time. This isn’t controversial, as it’s worked for many other countries for decades.

Illegal guns are sold from legal owners to criminals. So no they’re not “well intentioned individuals”
There was also an incident where a father used his legal gun to kill his wife, father in law then himself. Wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t allowed access to guns in the first place.
“78.3% of gun-related domestic homicides in Canada were committed with firearms in the legal possession of licensed owners.”
