While I appreciate where you’re coming from, even if the government let us keep our firearms I will reiterate. These are not weapons of warfare, hell even NATO rejected sending these firearms to Ukraine, so that tells a lot.

Unfortunately the Americans would cook us as we’re at a huge disadvantage. If our magazines weren’t pinned to 5-10 rounds and our firearms offered select-fire then I would argue and say we have a chance against a full-on invasion but alas our government wants to make it as easy as possible for our opponents.

The gist:

• Compensation is not guaranteed. Budgeted $248.6 million for 136,000 firearms which is only enough to cover the cost all previous AR-15 style Restricted Firearms and roughly ~15k previous Non-Restricted firearms.
• The declaration portion of the program is set to start Monday, January 19th to March 31st with letters/emails sent to PAL holders.
• Not once mentioned the NS shooting in 2020 which sparked this program but instead kept bringing up Polytechnic which occurred 30 years ago.
• Gary cannot pronounce Ruger.
• Assured we would be labelled as criminals if we choose to not participate in this “voluntary” program.

So you’re telling me SIGTERM doesn’t actually send a hit squad to my house to assassinate the program? Lame.

Genuinely can you link the previous discussion?

May use an iPhone but definitely use a Linux desktop.

@CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works please follow this persons advice! If you believe they’re a threat to an individuals safety do all licensed firearms owners a favour and report them to your local CFO (Chief Firearms Officer).

Otherwise the unspeakable may occur and all law-abiding licensed firearms owners will all be treated like criminals once again.

As the great Linus Torvald said:

It’s why I strongly want this to be that “just a tool”.

The problem I’ve seen is the lack of knowledge retention when AI feeds you stuff, buddy wouldn’t even bother to read nor memorize what it’s telling him and just copy-paste commands thinking it’ll fix whatever obscure issue he is encountering.

I’ve been using Debian for the last ~3ish years now relying on documentation from others so I’ve seen how fragile it can get.

Slightly off topic, buddy of mine decided to switch to Debian and A.i his way through everything, waiting for the day his system fails to boot because of some obscure command it tells him to run.

i agree with this to some extent, the Restricted class of firearms is currently pointless, there are no restricted firearms on the market right now because they have all been prohibited.

I would argue and say they should fix the Restricted category before introducing another one or incorporate your idea into it.

I’m really starting to doubt Canada’s gun laws and their impact on gun elated crimes.

Regulations work, there is no doubt about that otherwise we would be looking a whole lot like the US right now.

I’m thinking maybe Canadians with guns might not be such a bad idea.

There are 2.3 Million of us! if you’re Canadian and never seen, heard, held or shot a firearm I highly suggest trying it once at a local firing range where you can be shown safe handling.

Something worth noting -

Since 2020 Ottawa has banned some 2,500 types of firearms. The government has argued the makes and models on its list are for warfare — not hunters and sport shooters.

If these are weapons of warfare then why aren’t we sending the CAF into battle with .22Lr semiautomatic rifles with magazines pinned to 10 rounds?

For those not familiar with the different types of firearm calibers see the image below, essentially a .22Lr is for plinking pop cans and teaching beginners on how firearms operate safely, no sane person will say a .22Lr is meant for warfare.

Anandasangaree maintained the pilot wasn’t about “quantitative” results.

Isn’t this the whole point of the program? To get “guns off our streets”?

Apologies, I am going to assume this is a topic you’re not very well familiar with. This whole entire program is for Quebec, more specifically pushed by PolySeSouvient claiming all licensed firearm owners are the problem for the rise in gun related crime, not the firearms that are illegally sourced, yet 9 times out of 10 crime involving firearms involved illegal firearms.

Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario (essentially) and the Yukon have all rejected the program knowing there is no public safety benefit.

The streets? They’re in people’s safes and gun cabinets until this situation is sorted. It’s been 5 years now, hundreds of thousands of legally purchased guns they intend to confiscate with little support from the provinces.

It’s all in the comments, 2 of them landed here already.

A company that handles pgp for you can be legally compelled to give up the keys.

Depends on the jurisdiction.

Chances are Colt Canada is involved given they’re the “secret” contractor/partner in the governments firearm “buyback” program.

Wouldn’t shock anyone if they worked up a defence deal at the same time.

Some specific drivers are a little fiddly if you have nvidia graphics

Nit-picking here but Nvidia drivers for Debian are ridiculously easy to install? Doc page

• Prerequisites

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security contrib non-free main non-free-firmware
sudo apt update

• Install the driver (Trixie)

sudo apt install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-driver

• Have an RTX capable GPU?

sudo apt install libnvoptix1

Edit: For an Nvidia Optimus Laptop just install envycontrol and set your Nvidia GPU as your primary GPU.

sudo envycontrol -s nvidia --force-comp --coolbits 24

Done, easy peasy.

You will have time find applications that support the Invidious APi, I don’t personally use android/android-TV but on iOS/TvOS I use Yattee.

Given that I host my own instance and don’t typically use the public ones l can just visit my domain an get it with ease.
