Serious question
The US and Canadian Governments preach a very similar message:
They tell us not to treat all Muslims as terrorists because of the actions of a few radical lunitics, I get that and it is a good sensible statement
HOWEVER in the next breath
They ask us to treat all gun owners as criminals based on the actions of a few radical lunitics.
Does anyone see the hypocrisy in these statements???

I see the hypocrisy in those statements clearly. But what do you expect from politicians?

As much as I hate Canada's gun laws, I think it's a stretch to say that they treat all gun owners as criminals.

I think the point he's trying to make is when there is a act of violence by a certain religious group we're told to not blame them all. When there is an act of violence by a lunatic with a gun, all gun owners are blamed and the gun grabbers want to take everyone's guns away.

The "government" doesn't perpetuate hatred or blame towards gun owners, IMO. You have the media and a number of public lobby groups to thank for that.

But blamed by government? No. At least not in Canada. Sure Wendy C blames every gun owner. Can't do anything about that.

Not by a long shot did I try to assault or insult you. You nailed the hypocrisy, good job.

Yup! My guess is that its all to do with what's politically correct according to the "Liberal" media and political parties. Its a double standard and will always be that way. Liberals if they don't like something or see a need for it want to ban everyone from owing it. Conservatives on the other hand say they don't like it or see a need for it, but allow people to make their own choice if they want it.

The point here isn't the religion or ethnic group I don't think...

That's how I read it too, and fully agree.

I couldn't agree any more. It's a good point but what I should have said was that the rules say 'Mention" any race, religious group, etc. Not discuss the particular group. The point could have been made by comparing firearms with something else but a religious group. I'm not the internet police I just wanted to point out the rules before the thread went sideways. Didn't want to see anyone's wrists get slapped or worse banned. Either way, sorry I'll bud out. Carry on.
