I don't need to own an AR-15 that badly.
Firearms for most people in America are just like fire extinguishers.
You don't buy a fire extinguisher because you hope you have a fire to put out, do you? Of course not.
You buy one because in case of fire there's no substitute for it.
Ditto with firearms.
And IMHO your government crossed that line of 'need' when the bastards were arresting people for refusing vaccines, protesting lock-downs, and posting things critical of the government, the vax, and the accursed Muslims.
Canada like the UK is in in dire need of a revolt to overthrow your increasingly tyrannical government
before it's too late.
But no, you people won't fight for your freedom when the price is low. You'll wait and one day wonder why you learned NOTHING from history:
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
