The goal is to drive Ukrainian and NATO resources away from the Russian offensives in the four occupied oblasts. Every shell sent to Moldova is a shell not sent to Ukraine.

Any place with a lot of Russians is potentially concerning. Estonia is 23% Russian by ethnicity and cities like Narva, where they are heavily concentrated, could be sites for trouble. Southeastern Moldova is a hotbed of Russian sentiment outside of Transnistria itself.

Hunting holds no value: we have better ways for citizens to feed themselves and the sustainability is highly suspect. What you have to accept is that every gun death is a preventable death that didn't have to happen, and that there are plenty of legitimate pastimes people can engage in that do not require civilians to possess weapons.

I also don't think gun confiscation will really be all that expensive to implement.

Neither hunting nor target shooting brings any benefit comparable with the societal negatives it also brings. There are ways to deter wildlife that do not require civilians being allowed to possess weapons.

Canada can crack down on both legally owned firearms and illegal firearm smuggling: that's a false dichotomy. It may cost money but a lot of desirable social programs do.

Your position is 100% unjustifiable.

You need social services, a solution to your housing crisis, and this bill. There's zero reason why any Canadian should be permitted to own weapons: they bring risk without benefit to a society.

Violence is low because gun control works. It could be even lower. The right number of gun deaths for a society is zero.
