All of the virtue signalling over the killings in Nova Scotia has overshadowed the one thing that most needs to be understood.
Those killings proved what Polytechnic and so many others have.
Proved that, “You don’t need a gun, you have police to protect you,” is a filthy lie!
Canadians are prevented from carrying sidearms for protection of life by the requirement in sections 20 and 28 of the Firearms Act to demonstrate that they “need” the sidearm for protection.
That ought not to be!
Realistically, the definition of “need,” in this instance, gos something like this:
If the applicant has sufficient political or economic clout to override the bureaucratic imperative to “Just Say No” (I expect that you thought that was only a cute phrase used in the “War On Drugs”) the applicant has demonstrated sufficient “need.”
It is how “need” is defined in every nation on earth that doesn’t recognize, respect, and protect the inherent right of the individual to go armed for protection of the lives of those he loves.
As a Christian, you may recall that we are commanded to love our neighbours as we love ourselves (Mark 12:31).
It is a failure in love, for us to allow our neighbour to be denied the tools with which to safeguard his loved ones.
Not only must the requirement to demonstrate “need” be removed, every law/regulation that interferes with your ability to go armed must be repealed!
Addressing the cupidity of the Prime Minister, the Keystone Cops like behaviour of the RCMP, how the killer obtained his weapons, and the general incompetence of the current inquiry is all just useless virtue signalling until the primary issue is resolved.
If you are attacked, no one is coming, you are on your own!
