00:00:00.000 Well, first of all, we shouldn't hunt.
00:00:02.820 Hunting, responsible hunting, it manages the wildlife levels.
00:00:09.500 What happens when someone wants to commit a crime is they don't wait.
00:00:12.820 Okay, like I want to rob the bank, so I'm going to go through a month-long process
00:00:16.600 so that I can get a firearm that I can't conceal
00:00:20.760 because we're not allowed to own handguns in Canada or buy them.
00:00:24.580 So we can't buy them.
00:00:25.760 So the guns that people purchase with a PAL aren't even the guns that are used in crime.
00:00:35.240 So what they're banning, hunting rifles, they're not the scary kinds of guns.
00:00:41.960 These are guns that people need, like indigenous peoples need these, to hunt. 0.99
00:00:46.040 And it just doesn't make sense. 1.00
00:00:48.960 But why do you think the government is trying to do this?
00:00:52.820 well first of all we shouldn't hunt yeah I am strongly against hunting animals even for fun
00:01:02.440 or like even other purposes I'm not a vegan however to just like go outrageously hunt
00:01:11.400 animals and that they're like they're living their lives and they won't actually serve any
00:01:18.600 benefits like food supply for humans is kind of irrational I understand that it 1.00
00:01:27.180 can be so I think it's different for indigenous people maybe like they have
00:01:34.440 their own reasons I'm not really that educated on that however I think that
00:01:41.920 you shouldn't be going killing animals because it's gonna like harm the
00:01:48.220 wildlife and then you know the ecosystem because we are dealing with extinction
00:01:56.500 nowadays of many species and I don't really think that it's you know that
00:02:03.660 virtual to just like go all right so the way hunting is done in Canada is very
00:02:11.820 responsible there's only so when someone wants to go and say shoot a deer for
00:02:16.420 own food consumption they have to apply for a hunting license and they have to apply for a
00:02:21.460 deer tag so they need the license in order to shoot the deer and then they're they apply for
00:02:26.740 a tag so they're not allowed to shoot the deer unless they have the tag which says this is the
00:02:32.260 number of deer that we're going to let you hunt in your given area and you can't help like you have
00:02:38.980 to abide by that you can't just go shoot a deer and say oh whatever you know poor deer but like
00:02:45.060 like they it's very controlled as same with turkeys there's bag limits for how many you can
00:02:51.780 shoot and the animals that they hunt in canada are not like heading towards extinction so hunting
00:02:58.880 responsible hunting it manages the wildlife levels and if an animal was going towards extinction 1.00
00:03:05.040 they would definitely not even hunt it but indigenous peoples up like where they can't farm
00:03:13.400 say like where there's permafrost they need to hunt in order to survive so they need to be able
00:03:18.200 to hunt caribou and walrus and seal and they need to be able to protect themselves from polar bears
00:03:23.880 as well so they they subside mostly on protein so they need to be able to hunt of course i have a
00:03:29.160 question actually what do you mean by protection so is it like against the animals maybe and people
00:03:37.640 and people oh okay i mean sometimes not always because it's not like you know yeah the presence
00:03:48.280 of a firearm is often enough to deter an attack like like there's many cases where that's happened
00:03:55.320 that someone has like held up their firearm said hey i have this don't try anything and then the
00:04:01.480 the criminal will totally back away but there's also like like there are vicious
00:04:09.100 animals out there there are bears there are polar bears it's like people do
00:04:14.080 need them for protection from animals as well I think what you're saying makes
00:04:18.520 sense completely but for sure there are some other reasons behind these maybe
00:04:25.420 there are some things that we are not aware of I am not completely agreeing
00:04:31.180 on what they are trying to do, but I think that there is enough possibility that we could
00:04:38.300 kind of like think of maybe that there is a reason that they want to ban the guns.
00:04:46.040 Well, the reason that they're touting is that it's a lower crime.
00:04:48.960 And they're not killing us.
00:04:50.380 Yeah.
