<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarner_16</b></div><div>This is where I agree with both of you. I enjoy the outdoors, I don’t have the land to hunt, but I’d love to start. I also think some guns are reall cool looking, the same way people collect knives. Would I buy one? Possibly, if it were a replica or a relic. But I don’t have a use for one so I won’t.

However, theres absolutely no need for pistols and assault rifles. Those are designed to kill people. Long arms, shotguns, etc are designed for hunting. No one’s ripping into a deer with a .22 or 30 rounds. Those guns can be banned. But don’t punish legal, responsible gun owners.</div></div>

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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarner_16</b></div><div>Completely agree. The problem with adding more canadian teams is population density. A team in pittsburgh, per se, can draw fans from millions of people within a couple hours drive. A team in halifax has a couple million in the whole PROVINCE. Population denisty plays a huge role in why there are more teams in the states.

Though a city like halifax on it's own can support a team maybe, theres no opportunity for fanbase growth because its hours away from any other major city. If I put a team almost anywhere in the states, youve got major cities and millions of people within a small radius.</div></div>

It’s hard because Halifax would rank high in terms of quality fan base/ devoted. But the growth potential is the huge outlier you laid out. And if they are a bad team an already small market could plummet. Like Ottawa draws huge numbers from TOR and MTL - Cali teams all basically share. NY is the same.

I have no doubt tho Halifax is going to show like many assume; the WJC in Hali is going to be a banger. They clearly aren’t a far reach from TOR, MTL in terms of quality fan investment.
