Realistically, if this is about closing loop holes, making laws more cut and dry, sure this probably won't really effect responsible gun owners.

Am I misunderstanding, or is the article you linked from 1995? I have a feeling a lot has changed with fireams related homicides since then. Especially with the advent of firearms being built out of a bunch of disparate parts.
The switch 2 isn't game codes. Its a physical cartridge that acts as a license key.
So its not a buy and redeem like the switch 1s was. So technically there is still a resale market for it.
I do think it would be weird to see a store of basically just new and used switch 2 games, plus a variety of funkos.
I saw a really interesting video about this exact topic.
Thought Slime - Facists will waste your time
I dont expect you to watch this, FYI. Just posting this in case anyone else wants to listen to thought piece video.
Depends, I guess.
If someone is a full on Nazi, dont waste your time, punch.
If someone is being a piece of shit in public dont even tell them their wrong or debate with em just tell them "Hey you're being an asshole", aim for their ego cause its rarely socially acceptable to be a piece of shit.
If someone is offhandedly bringing up righ-wing rhetoric, consider if you have the energy to show compassion and think you are able to have a calm conversation with them, break that loneliness and isolationism the right deploys. If you dont have that energy, hold on to it for the next time you see someone on the pipeline.
Also its gonna be hard, but try to not get too combatative. It might push them deeper down the pipeline.
I'm all for punching Nazis, and calling out assholes to make them face up to their actions. We've only got so much energy to use, and deprogramming is a long process for some people.
Also no conversation I've had online with the right or the left match tbe conversations you'd have in person. Like online people on the left wanna group up into their tiny little cliques and in person its always more about the nuance of each subgenres style. So i figure talking to the right in person is also more effective than online.
This is all anecdotal, I've had a couple of friends and people I know be taken off the pipeline. Its a process, you gotta pick your battles carefully.
Thank you for providing this information. Your previous link really didn't paint the image I think you wanted to.
I think a lot of the disconnect woth people is that a lot of Canadians are faced with what they perceive as a lot more grave issues endangering peoples lives. And it differs between provinces and even as your links state municipal vs rural areas.
I think because we don't have the constant threat of mass shootings the likes of the USA, those in areas less impacted by fire arm deaths are more apathetic. Or maybe just view it as we've done enough.
Obviously governments should have the capacity to deal with multiple issues at once, but I think people really get caught up in the "why are you worrying about this, when X thing is way more dangerous.". It might come off as whataboutism, and often times it can be, but I think k its just as easy to say that person hasn't been as broadly effected by guns and someone else.
