You might as well drive a huge pickup truck, wear a cowboy hat and blast the country music. It's all foreign shit American culture in Canada.

People who hunt and eat meats they've prepared themselves are cunts? As opposed to those who buy corporate farmed and slaughtered meat in a store? Here's a thought, Google Canada, then look at how big the country is. Then look at the proximity of "supermarkets" to all the small towns in northern Canada. Not that I expect you will, so I'll explain it to you. They're few and far between, which is why people hunt, city boy.
While you're at it, Google the definition of "condescending" then go look in the mirror.
No, I've lived in downtown Toronto all my life. But unlike you, I'm aware that not everyone in Canada can simply go to the grocery store for food. Hunting for many in Canada is a necessity to life. To call them cunts makes you sound like a morally superior narrow-minded dick.

Then act like you're from downtown Toronto and not some ignorant hillbilly from the backwoods who's trying to Americanise this country with disgusting shit Yank culture.
As someone who is originally from the Prairies, I will say Canada would be a MUCH better country if everyone was more like Toronto.
Funny how you seem incapable of distinguishing between what the government and army are allowed vs what civilians are allowed.
Last I checked, this discussion was about what guns should be made available for civilian purposes.
I hold the Canadian government to a higher standard than individual Canadians. Canadian government agents who have been issued semi-auto long guns to do their specific job should be held to a higher standard which is why it makes sense that they have more options.
This goes for police who have been issued hand guns and for soldiers who have been issued tanks.
How many 'legal gun owners' refuse to store their guns according to the law and instead think they can use their gun for self-defense (which is also against the law)?
Not much of a necessity. Many Canadians do it as a hobby and some of those hobbyists are ecologically friendly and eat the meat. Even in the far north, it is less expensive and an an supplement to people's diet. It is also a traditional part of indigenous life but claiming it's a necessity is a stretch.
You have previously argued semi-autos are allegedly "less accurate" and cycling the bolt shouldn't be a problem for a competent shooter.
Are you saying law enforcement can't be bothered to aim, cycle a bolt, or make hits within 10 shots? How is that a "higher standard"?
I'm guessing this is the part where you Google "best hunting rifle" or talk to your "hunting buddies" before coming back here to be humiliated, yet again.
You were saying something about "higher standards"?
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has lost 205 firearms since 2020, including machine guns
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has lost 205 firearms since 2020, including more than 120 handguns and at least five fully automatic weapons like machine guns.
Yes. If the government who has a process to inventory guns loses that many, how many do you think "law abiding' gun owners have lost.You were saying something about "higher standards"?

But sure, go ahead and move those goalposts once the game is over.
I don't know, why don't you tell us, how many don't store their guns properly? Please also tell us how often legal gun owners have used their weapons in self defense in the last 10 years? I'm going to guess it's rare on both accounts. But you're welcome to prove me wrong.
But back to the original topic, how does preventing legal gun owners from owning those long guns make things safer when it's neither legal gun owners committing gun crimes, nor using those long guns in the first place?
Do you think one gun is suited for every purpose?
Legal activities for a gun owner are target shooting, hunting, and protecting farm produce from pests. None of those require a semi-auto.
A wildlife officer in charge of eradicating a herd of feral pigs may need to get off many rounds in a short period of time but that is something they have explicitly been authorized by the government to do.
Military need to send rounds downrange at enemies and that is why they are allowed fully auto.
And again, that 5 round capacity ....

If police were allowed spot-checks, maybe we'd have an exact answer but based on comments from alleged gun owners on here, many refuse to follow the law.
I have absolutely no problem with actual 'legal gun owners', hunting, or target shooting but most of the complaints about gun laws are simply NRA spillovers from people who don't understand that US and Canadian gun laws are extremely different, even down to the function guns play.
As an analogy, I am happy that sex work is legal in Canada and purchasing it is defacto legal but I fully understand why streetwalkers and sex in public aren't.
Civilians undoubtedly have a better track record, that's my point. The rules don't seem to apply to the same government and its agents that are enforcing them. Where are the unsafe storage charges against the RCMP? That would certainly happen to a civilian, even one who was out of the country on vacation, while thieves used power tools and took days to steal his guns.
Go to an indoor range where the ceilings and baffles are shot up and brass is left lying around, I guarantee LE shot there.
So you think pests show up one at a time to a privately owned farm, but somehow only swarm in the presence of wildlife officers?
