Reading things like this makes it make sense as to why the government is putting big efforts into reducing legal gun ownership (and the type of guns targeted, ex. 50 cal rifles) instead of going after criminals and makes sense of things like the Online Harms Bill… The elites are trying to prevent a repeat of 1789 France or 1917 Russia.

    the more educated one is about our gun laws, the less likely they are to support bans

    (X) doubt

    The more respondents self reported as educated, the less likely they are to support bans. Meaning, respondents thinking they are educated in gun laws. Same would happen if you interviewed folks on vaccines and trusted them because “they’re doing their own research”. But are these people really educated on longitudinal studies about the effects of gun laws? Or are they educated in the sense of knowing what the Canadian laws are?
