I get throwing a lot of words at someone impressed them, but it doesn't work.

Here's a bit about the degredation of Canadian gun rights and how gun control in Canada is historically used to control and hurt minority groups.
Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is used to circumvent the rights of Canadians.

And all the fuckery involved with the freedom convoy, using the emergencies act and freezing the finances of protesters.
This is only the beginning. The government will push more and more to control and restrict its citizens, and most of you will let them.
You do not have the right to own a gun in Canada.
Proof
Next.
Why yes, having everyday citizens be able to purchase firearms since the countries existence, only to them remove such ability and make anyone who keeps the property a criminal isn't a degredation of rights and freedoms then you are blind.
Also, nice only attempting to refute one of my many points.
Next.
You made a Gish Gallop.
I didn't "attempt to refute" your arguments. I proved that you were wrong. You have no right to own a firearm in Canada.
Now that you've descended to name calling were done.
Rights and Freedoms. I have said many times, what you have as a right you have as a freedom, but you had as a freedom may not be a right. You had the freedom to own and operate firearms since the countries inception, but the current government is doing everything it can to remove the ability for its citizens to defend themselves, or any other lawful reason to use a firearm. To have such a right for many years only to take it away and make previously lawful citizens into criminal is a degredation of rights and freedoms. Good job also not discussing any other point and focusing on this one with nomenclature you didn't understand.
As I said, now that you've descended to name calling, we're done. If you want to talk to me you will be respectful of I will ignore you. No one owes you a response if you're being an ass.
Sounds good, thanks for not returning my points and then storming out when you lost. ๐
