Using Boost for Lemmy, I got an obvious political ad from the right asking to sign a petition to scrap the gun “ban” in Canada (it’s a registry not a ban).

Now I understand this is an ad but I don’t appreciate having propaganda from the right injected into my browsing on lemmy. Have better ads, or let us report them.

    Well considering that it just so happens to be the left that’s looking for gun control in this situation, and op is crying like a bitch that he saw a right wing ad, yes.

      No it’s anyone with remotely a brain that’s looking for gun control. Being able to rub two brain cells together isn’t a matter of a political spectrum, even though sometimes the matters can overlap.

        Reading the way this person speaks to everyone, they clearly are a stable, thoughtful person who should have guns.

          Of course. Like I said before, don’t let something like facts or statistics about gun control vs gun bonanza countries crime stand in the way of your narrative. That’ll just destroy the mainstream media narrative you’re clinging to.

      As a Canadian Lefitst, I just have to mention that I literally don’t hear a single person other than the LPC discuss banning/restricting guns. Pretty much everyone I know owns one, likes them, or periodically goes to the range to fire a rental. It’s not like the voters who identify as “Left” are actively discussing taking anyone’s guns away. Everyone was in shock after the NS shootings, but everyone pretty quickly realized the guns were brought in from USA and not legally procured in Canada.

        And what of people like OP in that calculation? He’s clearly behind Castro Jr’s anti gun agenda. Does he not count?
