In light of the tragedies in Texas and Buffalo NY, the Heir thinks it's actually unhelpful to the U.S. for Canada to propose banning handguns in their country. This will have the effect of pro-gun politicians digging their heels in with their opposition even to things like Red Flag Laws and background checks. The Heir predicts their argument would be (however specious) that such laws are proposed by those who want us to be like Canada. While the recent tragedies once made us seriously consider turning our guns in, the Canadian proposal makes us all now too likely to keep said guns and even get new ones. The Heir wants those outlets doing polls finding that up to 90% of U.S. citizens want background checks and Red Flag Laws to also do a poll on how they also feel about Canada's proposal. The Heir predicts the results to be more divided. His last thought on this post is for people to google the following: Robin Williams Stop Or I'll Say Stop Again. Said comic routine would be enough to exemplify the current moment as of this writing.
