pistols are used for work. whether its for a remote wilderness workers or cash transporters in the city. both have need a for personal protection. also if handguns have been legal for some time and there is no indication that legal handguns are being used in crime then why target them. canada has a vibrant target shooing community that's being targeted without cause imo.

no one is hunting deer with a .22 that would be cruel. people do hunt small game with .22 and that does fill their freezer for winter. there is no reason for .22 to be banned its the least powerful caliber of firearm. as for 30 rounds most provinces have mag capacity limits for centerfire firearms which usually caps the limit at 10 and in come cases 5. it's a silly law but despite that gun owners aren't even pushing back heavily on that law.

canada's gun laws have done almost nothing to combat illegal gun crime. it's usually politically based on laws that sound good to people who aren't knowledgeable in firearms and almost always have a large effect on legal owners. as a legal gun owner you can wake up tomorrow and find out a rifle you own is now prohibited with no reason or justification why. i can't even compare firearm laws to any other aspect in canadian law as no other part of canadian law has such absurd laws.

I'm gonna be clear, I'm NOT for more gun laws. Gun lawn punish legal owners. Illegal weapons are already illegal. making them more illegal doesnt change much. My point was that large capacity and semi auto assault rifles are unneccessary, and the average joe has really no need for a pistol. agree about law enforcement needing them, but the average person really doesnt. I think we agree more than we think lol

as for a .22 i was more or less talking about pistols, I've hunted rabbits with .22s before.


I’m not sure about where you guys live, but where I live it’s illegal to hunt big game with a .22. You need .23 calibre or more. So yes, there’s not reason you’d need one of them for hunting.

i don't hunt so i couldn't tell you what they use around here.

edit: just checked the laws for where im at. .22 is fine for small game but forbidden for large game.

Ya and it makes sense, it’s be really hard to hunt deer with a .22, and next to impossible to hunt elk and moose with them.

yes it's just cruel imo. 1 shot kill is the way to do it. .22 is only going to send a deer running back into the woods to die of an infection.

when i just looked up the laws for my area i also noticed it said that it's legal to carry a .22 calibre rifle to set up bear snares. i'd hate to be the guy trying to fend off a bear with a .22

I want a job so I can work my way up. I will start at the bottom and prove myself. I don’t know. what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you

Yeah a lot of last week was travel lol, which isn’t that bad (except for tiny planes and screaming babies…), but today was 10+ hours of grinding out some deliverables that were due today. Only my 3rd most billable hours in the last week, and I don’t get OT 🙃 At least 8 of last week’s hours were a stat holiday, but doing office work on a work trip sucks ass

You are a liar my friend. High school>work>university though. At least I get paid for working now. 120+ hour weeks in university learning everything on my own where I had to pay them to not teach me f*ck all is NOT it

8am - 5:30pm Hours.

Very tough.
I remember when I was just chilling in school, having fun with friends. Work is a different league, and much harder and stressful than school.

I’m still in school, but I’m glad I still have one more year. I haven’t really experienced work but I imagine school is a lot better.

I highly doubt you would love work.

You don’t have social issues like you would at school. Like the,popular kids type of thing. Clicks and groups. Everyone is independent. It’s easier imo to make friends as an adult in the workplace.
