There is a provision in the firearms act that allows people to posses prohibited firearms if they’re in an agreement with the province.

The Runkle Of The Bailey post I made yesterday explains it in great detail, essentially the Commissioner that Saskatchewan is appointing is entering in an agreement with firearms owners where people maintain possession of their firearms until they’re paid in full, once they’re paid they must dispose of their firearm in accordance with the law.

Respectfully you say this:

I’m not going to touch the “Blue Toyota” point. It’s such a weak argument that’s been debated to death and back.

But then also this

We don’t want to see us become like the USA

Firearm regulation works, I don’t think any Canadian is doubting that however the “We don’t want to be like the US” argument is a weak argument in my opinion.

Like I mentioned above, statistically we experience significantly more gun crime involving illegal firearms opposed to legal firearms, wouldn’t it be a better use of our tax payer dollars to invest in preventing the root cause of the issues we face?

I have friends who own firearms. All of us are think the debate is overblown and want less guns in Canada.

I know you didn’t want to touch the Blue Toyota example I used above, and I respect that, so here’s a similar but different question.

Do you believe everybody with a drivers license should be held responsible for when one person illegally misuses their vehicle and runs over a pedestrian?

(Edit - This is for your friends) Do they feel that they should be held responsible for when someone illegally misuses their firearm and murders somebody?

Would it not be better to invest in the people of the province? Health care, programs and infrastructure that benefit everyone instead of 10% of the provinces population?

Arguably less than the federal government intends to spend on this program.

You’re right though, tax payer dollars would be better spent on the root cause of these issues oppose to what they’re doing at the moment essentially putting a bandaid over the issue and claiming victory.

But I thought the point of guns is so you don’t need gubment protection!

You can own firearms a multitude of different reasons.

• Small/Medium/Large Game Hunting
• Sport Shooting, Olympic Shooting
• Wilderness Defence
• Ex-Military/Police/Brink who practice on their off-time
• Collectors
• In the event of government overreach (authoritarian leadership) people have a chance of revolution
• Researchers who work either deep in forests or in the arctic (Grizzly/Polar-bear territory).
• It’s a fun hobby

If our government is taking this approach towards firearms then why aren’t we banning high-risk vehicles that are commonly involved in car crashes? We don’t hear them say “Blue Toyota Camry’s cause a higher increase in fatalities so we’ll now be banning them.” It makes no sense.

Ultimately these bans are nothing but an insult to 1) the RCMP who approved the 2.4 million firearms licenses and 2) the firearms owners who receive daily background checks and are statistically known to commit less crime than the average Canadian or foreigner.

He’s also proud of the fact he doesn’t understand “lawyer talk”. Pretty bad for a politician whose job consists of understanding, writing, proposing and debating laws. And if he doesn’t understand, why should anyone listen to what he has to say?

While I agree he should know some form of legalise he is an elected official after-all, doesn’t matter if most of his day job before politics was flipping patties, he got the votes to get into office, just like how Carney went from being a banker to prime minister.

Edit; Can’t provide sources at the moment, I’ll gladly provide them when I have free time to edit this post or upon request, apologies y’all.

It benefits the 119,681 firearms owners within the province, they get full pay for the property that the federal government intends to confiscate, compared to the first come first serve method the feds have been pushing for.

The guns would he held by the province so if these bans do get overturned, there is a chance property can be returned to the rightful owners. It also gives firearms owners a legal standing against the government of Canada if they were not fairly paid for their property.

Sounds like a small win for firearms owners, no?

Don’t get me wrong here, I understand the pushback from the community in this regard and i’m not try to defend proprietary software licensing.

I’m more of letting the original commenter know that they actually don’t own the game or game files they purchase from common store-fronts, they simply own a license to download and play the game.

People don’t like being proven wrong, and often try to dismiss it with some variation of “Im not gonna sit here and be told the whatfer by some random idiot”

Sounds like you’re describing yourself here.

• Refused to accept documentation from a valid source.

• Instead of having a discussion, you proceed with a pointless “Sure, buddy” at an attempt to deflect from the topic.

So when it came to registering on Lemmy, that popped up in my head and bobs your uncle.

Real nice honeypot too, every time someones wrong and backs themselves into a corner instead of admitting they are wrong, they inevitably give some variation of “living up to your user name, huh”, which just continues to prove that the actual idiot is the one lashing out like that.

You chose to make the two comments above, I simply humoured your ignorance and lack of understanding of the subject.

Username checks out.

Suggest reading into software licensing and understand the different types of licenses that could be used.

Make us individual game owners pay license every time we download and install the game?

This is how it’s been done for decades now? Every game you purchase off of Steam, Xbox, PlayStation is just a license to play that game.

If I remember correctly, Walmart does have televisions up in the tech department displaying advertisements and trailers for movies and games.

May I introduce to you the Helldivers.

They have one goal, to spread democracy.

I want to install an OS once, and never be forced to change it on that machine.

I’d be wary of putting all your eggs in a single basket, many people believed Windows was the be-all OS until Microsoft started making funky decisions ultimately changing people’s perspective of their business.

Steam is great now but consider who is going to replace Gabe Newell when he retires or passes away. Think about Steam as a business in 10-20 years and what will change in their policies.

I prefer Valve. 800lb gorilla, main driver of Proton, not likely to suddenly vanish or change leadership, brand recognition means many people will develop extensive documentation and implementation specifically for SteamOS

Under the hood SteamOS/Bazzite are Arch based whereas Ubuntu/PopOS/Linux-Mint are Debian based, the documentation that really matters is going to come from these base gorrillas.

I’ve said this numerous times in this community, nobody in Canada is asking for the Canadian version of the second amendment, all people are asking for is a fair judicial hearing when outlawing millions of previously legal firearms under the guise of them being “Assault Style” effectively making hundreds of thousands of people criminals.

Gotta remember that the Canadian government enacted an Order In Council (If I’m not mistaken Executive Order equivalent for the US) essentially bypassing Parliament and the House of Commons to pass the law.

I think the glaring issue with these “Red Flag” laws is nobody is keeping a record of who violates them.

The country’s 11 provincial and territorial chief firearms officers — in charge of issuing and revoking gun licences — said they have no data on such seizures. So too did the Ontario Provincial Police, Sûreté du Québec and the federal Public Safety ministry.

Just one red flag case found

The RCMP, which oversees the Canadian Firearms Program and its database, also initially said it had no information on red flag orders. But in a subsequent email, a spokesperson said the force had found a single case.

“Since December 15, 2023, one ‘red flag’ order was reported to the Canadian Firearms Program and recorded in the Canadian Firearms Information System,” the email noted.

That case was not the firearm seizure from the Tumbler Ridge shooter’s family home that the force previously disclosed, but rather a 2025 order in Ontario.

This is a major failure on the administration and the political leaders who voted this in, but from what I can tell, orange man in the White House speaks for all conservatives and nobody wants the Canadian version of orange man so I doubt things will get any better.

Ffs be a parent and this never would have happened. Sounds like father is the delusional one.

His son was 36, his responsibility to babysit every little thing his child did ended at 19. The Father is not to blame for what his adult son had done.

Matrix runs great out of the box but once you start joining large rooms your server has to synchronize with every instance, this is very taxing on the network and in my experience was essentially DDOS’ing me until I started a cache at the reverse proxy level and forced it to use my secondary PiHole.

Out of the 2500 now prohibited firearms models Ukraine only wanted 23, goes to show how many “weapons of warfare” they prohibited and want to confiscate.
