@StevenJamesfin5 @AndrewScheer I think our current PM is a tool but Scheer is worse. If you could provide some evidence of each thing you had said it would be great. Unfortunately, the carbon tax works as much as I hate paying more tax.

@johnnypasserby @TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I've been around guns for as long as I can remember and there are weapons that will do more damage than others. All guns can kill but some just make it easier. All guns just being "inanimate objects" is part of the pro gun manual for just as long.

@Ambactus101 @TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I sure as hell don't want to see us going back to using muskets but going in the other direction doesn't make much sense either. I think we've done a decent job at finding a balance in Canada.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @Ambactus101 @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer In all honesty there is no angle, just my opinion. I am not worried about responsible gun owners but have no problem with the status quo. I don't see a need for us to head in the same direction as the US.

@TWilsonOttawa @Ambactus101 @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I see where you are coming from but still think increased capacity with thr AR, or some others, could have issues. I'm in Calgary and will admit I would probably love it. Once the kids get a bit older and I have free time again I may have to try it out.

@johnnypasserby @TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer A larger mag has nothing to do with distance and I never said it did. I hunt so I haven't seen a copy of the anti-gun manual. I haven't voted liberal in 30 years and for most people hunting is a hobby.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I've only ever shot a gun to hunt something I plan on eating so I don't get shooting for sport. I've done fine my old bolt-action gear so I really don't get the need increased magazine/semi-automatic. Different experiences/different opinion.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@SpencerJaret @TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I'll admit I haven't. I've never shot for sport and my experience is mostly with bolt action 22, 303 and and old 12 gage. To be honest I think anything that requires a clip is unnecessary.

@jkenney @arash_tehran @jwest_edm If you think this simplisticly you aren't fit to run a lemonade stand, not alone a province.

@TWilsonOttawa @ph0t0k @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer So you didn't read past the first line of the article. Deer, moose, bear or sport shooting, it doesn't matter when talking about accuracy over long distances.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @ph0t0k @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer The proof is easy to find. Have a good afternoon. https://t.co/gu50hYWVK9

@TWilsonOttawa @ph0t0k @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer You should notice I said "at distance". There's no doubt it is less powerful but manages to stay on target over longer distances. That's what makes it closer to an assault rifle than a regular sporting rifle.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer If it's a sporting rifle why do people want expanded clips for it? If you can't kill a coyote with a 22 caliber you need to spend more time on the range.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I'm a hunter and any talk of allowing increased capacity for an AR-15 or simular is ludicrous. If someone can't hunt with a less deadly weapon at distance maybe they should take up another hobby.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer I don't recall saying anything about adding more regulation of responsible gun owners. I sure as hell don't want any less regulation though.

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@AndywellsWells @MickelodeonNL @GoofyNewfie2012 @Saphira88 Would heading in the direction of the US be preferable?

[Mark David Evans @MarkEvCanada]

@TWilsonOttawa @RobertJensen2 @Polysesouvient @AndrewScheer Really? https://t.co/KX63p23Jpx
