Reply to comment by Blade_Shot24 in AFN votes to reject Ottawa’s gun-control bill, citing potential risk to treaty rights - National | Globalnews.ca by raider1v11

This is such a complex issue. Who gets the right to decide what the laws are? The official answer is the politicians who represent the people. If you are indigenous and those politicians don't represent you, they represent the culture that genocided yours. If all that was true for you, would you feel bound by the laws?

Complex? They didn't need this to be enacted at all. The gun crimes that happened are through illegal means. So why punish everyone for the acts of the few and criminal? This is why many don't want to vote blue in their red states because of what's going on in Oregon, IL, and Washington. This needs more coverage especially with the animosity from the skeletons.

I can mention my background and how I don't feel those in power don't represent me, but that doesn't matter by their law they will enforce it as they please. This isn't the first time a similar thing was enacted on the natives of Canada either.
