Firearms aren’t a social issue, you can’t stop people from camping in forests and using firearms as a tool for wilderness defence or folks who hunt and trap for a profession, not to mention people who live in remote locations where a Walmart is hours away opposed to minutes (I can’t confirm this last point for the US, but this is certainly a Canadian issue).

Target shooting is also recognized as an Olympic sport globally, you want to prevent teams from practicing their sport?

Why are you wanting to use an anti-material rifle at a range for? Do you enjoy the pain of the recoil?

The answer is simple and you’re going to hate it, it’s a resounding Yes. It’s fun and it’s in a safe environment, what’s there to complain about? We have range officers to monitor people who don’t know what they’re doing for this exact reason.

Feigned indignation to what a nation deems not necessary for living in polite society is a pathetic excuse for advocating for the civilian use of military weaponry even if you are renting it.

I agree with you they went too far but saying you want a .50BMG rifle in a civilian role is just insane in my view.

PAL holders are statistically less likely to commit violent acts compared to every other Canadian, lets not forget that militarized / paramilitary firearms have been prohibited for personal ownership since the 70’s, our government put the blame of the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia on licensed firearms owners with these OIC’s and Bill C21 when the perpetrator was unlicensed, in possession of a firearm illegally and went around town killing people dressed as a officer.

For at least 40+ years .50 BMG rifles were in the governments eyes not specifically militarized firearms, all up until 2020 when they put that 10k joules limit and called them “assault style firearms”, our crime rates involving these types of rifles must’ve been extremely high otherwise why bother implementing the law? Right?

Edit; And when our own Public Safety Minister was caught on leaked audio disagreeing with how they handled the situation all for votes in Quebec this should have all been dropped.

If you’re using a GPS enabled device than I would suggest prohibiting your browser from accessing your location, that and use a VPN as your public IP has a rough geolocation of where you live.

Excuse me? I want to use my .22Lr Kriss Vector that I purchased and got to use once before they bloody banned it. Why are you frustrated?

Also In my original comment i said rent, not purchase, have you ever been to a shooting range?

eh, got me there. Nearly identical to OP’s article just slight differences.

Always recommend folks getting their PAL, It’s a fun, but expensive hobby.

Both articles were published August 6th, think it’s fair to give OP’s article the benefit of the doubt.

As a Canadian, it would be nice to be able to target shoot with larger calibers rifles. Can’t even rent a .50 BMG at the shooting range anymore because of our current government.

All in the name of public safety, eh.

Exists however I found it to be a hassle to setup so I never used it for my instance, I’ve noticed certain instances have troubles federating when they have Cloudflare or Anubis sitting in front of Lemmy on their reverse proxy. I can’t get Lemmy.world to federate properly and I suspect it’s because of Cloudflare sitting at their root path.

I guess WW1 and WW2 don’t count? Everything after that really seemed insignificant.

If you want people to take your requests for support seriously then you shouldn’t be using ambiguous wording. Be clear, be concise.
