Da comrade.

Have you filled your post quota for the day yet?

Cool, I'll check this out! I assumed that since it was branded as 'like a dragon', it had the turn-based combat style, but it doesn't, which I think is good. Turn based combat in Yakuza doesn't look very fun so I've been avoiding those titles.

A Yakuza game set during the Meiji Restoration would slap.

Fun fact, the H&K G11 is prohibited by name in Canada. Only 1000 prototypes were ever produced, exclusively for military trials in Germany, and the project was mothballed in the early 90s after the Warsaw Pact dissolved.

The more I learned about gun laws in Canada, the more I realized that the restrictions brought in by the Liberals have been legal theatre, rather than safety-driven legislation.

I agree with you fully on that point.

In my mind, the penalties for being caught with an illegal firearm should be far more severe. It should be a long, mandatory prison sentence. This seems like an obvious first step. I don't see how further restricting legal owners will solve the sorts of problems that we want solved when we think about gun crime.

If you have good reason to believe these people will harm someone with their guns, please report it to the RCMP, instead of wishing that their guns were a different colour.

Follow this link and use the contact information to file a report. Please do this immediately if you think someone is in danger of being harmed. https://rcmp.ca/en/firearms/contact-canadian-firearms-program

I take it they haven't harmed anyone? Are you concerned that they will?

Outside of a perfect world scenario, on a practical level, there is an argument that the issue of gun violence in Canada is best addressed by tackling illegal firearm smuggling, and making penalties for violent offenders more effective. Any sympathy to that angle?

It’s sort of amazing to think that this government could fail to do so for a second time after the way it went down last time.

I don't believe the Liberal government truly wants to make transformative change on this file, they're simply acting to balance optics and pressure from interest groups. With that in mind, it's not surprising that this current effort seems disorganized and destined to fail.

The notion that there are Canadians who own a gun simply because they think it's cool, is ignorant to the facts of what it takes to actually get a license to acquire and possess a firearm in this country.

Out of curiosity, what do you think the firearm regulations should look like in Canada?

I think I see your point, but, as a person with an RPAL, what does 'meaningful improvement' look like to you?
