Your gun can be taken away from you very easily!

"Do you know anyone in your neighborhood that has a gun? There's a check for $1k if you tell us!"
"I'm renewing my driver's license!" "I see you're a registered gun owner, if you turn your gun over, we'll give you your license!"
"You're on Social Security! If you don't surrender your gun, we'll cut off your social security!"
"You're not going to surrender your gun? Then we're going to freeze your bank account!"

To feel secure with a gun in this country, is to feel as secure as wearing a mask!

And then there's the Chinese-style surveillance system creeping into our country! Turn your smartphone off in China and you may have a police officer pounding on your door at night, thinking you might be up to something. And as long as you carry a Smartphone, you may as well have a spy following your around.

Our freedom is gone, been gone for some time now!

In the Canada scenario where would good and bad places be in terms of politics and geography and in favor of small towns that say NO,etc? I have lived in small towns my whole life so it's no big deal but it would be weird to live in a city!
It doesn't matter. The left would make Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., one big country, under a central socialist government.

The U.S. almost by design can't go further left than Canada, Western Europe, and Oceania.

It's just not embedded in our history or culture and moving there would be a step backwards if you're looking to escape from the Left.

And Mexico is literally being ruled by a Leftist populist as I type...

Plenty of proud citizens live as ex-pats overseas. You don't have to renounce your citizenship to live someplace else.

It’s really cute how you believe only “conservatives” own guns.

Anyone who thinks the USA is moving Left is utterly delusional and divorced from reality.

We have same sex marriage. A few liberal states have banned plastic bags. That’s it. That’s the extent of Leftist success in America. On literally every other issue, the country has moved to the Right.
You must be joking. The far left so-called progressives are changing terminology, destroying statues of historical figures, a syrup name is racist, women are now birthing people and the list goes on and on how they are forcing the U.S. to move more left every single day. We aren't moving right we are moving more left on just about everything.

Same with Mexico, who recently began deporting Canadians and Americans.

You may not, but the poster I responded to I'm not so sure about. I personally am coming up on the 64th anniversary of owning my first firearm, a .410 H&R my grandmother bought me for my sixth birthday.

All of those things are utterly trivial.

You want to know what far left is, buddy? Far left is nationalizing all of the major industries. Far left is redistribution of land from rich people to poor people. Far left is bulldozing churches and mosques and jailing the priesthood. Far left is putting the (former) ruling elites in forced labor camps.

Some dweebs complaining about syrup names is pretty mild.
