i suspect the rural caucus is not amused right now.

when i was a kid, back in the day, the ndp i grew up with would have argued that the way to approach gun violence is to get to the root causes of social inequality and alienation by funding social programs that educate people and help get them out of poverty, not pass an authoritarian law that is just going to create a black market.

it's quite a bourgeois position to think you can solve the consequences of poverty by taking away affected people's guns. truly.
