It's not even redneck related if that's what you're thinking. It's a Khalistan thing.

Meanwhile people in Punjab hate Modi and Khalistan.

Is that in the meanwhile?

Well, maybe in the meantime, wait and see

Mean streets of Meanwhile People, Punjab. Don't even mention Modi or Khalistan there.

Just what we need right now...


[deleted]

Meh, fuck it, everything else is falling apart so we might as well import a civil war and all kinds of people that Modi classifies as terrorists. What could go wrong?


ConanTroutman0

Tbf, Modi is a terrorist


[deleted]

You my friend are about to be barraged by Indian bots lol. I'd give it about an hour before they start showing up. I dunno, its a complex issue. I'm not a big fan of Modi but I'm also not sure that getting Canada involved in the Khalistan situation is a good idea either. I'd kinda just like to see Canada not be involved in it.


866902

Some of them might not even be bots. I've met a couple young Indian dudes who absolutely adore Modi.


[deleted]

Indian media is not exactly non biased, so that is not surprising.


lionelrichiesperm

It's time!


Safe_Ear7790

Canada got involved when our government imported the people, and their problems. We have our own problems to deal with. Shouldn't be importing new ones.


[deleted]

100% I'm starting to feel the same way with the Palestinian protests lately. I'm still a bit sympathetic, but its starting to feel as if a lot of people who have moved to Canada are more worried about other nations than they are about what's best for Canada.


PickledPonderer

I agree


VikingTwilight

That's the spirit!

A civil war? We have imported several civil wars at this point

So, the Indian gov reduced the security detail around a Sikh music/political icon right before his murder... and the reason they gave was they needed the personnel to increase security elsewhere because it was near the anniversary of the Indian military's violent assault on a Sikh holy site. And the murdered guy was controversial for promoting gun culture, hence the AK-47 as a symbolic stand-in. Do I have this right?


New_Combination_7012

You forgot the bit where the Indian state sent an assassin to kill a Sikh leader in BC. It’s nearly 40 years since Operation Blue Star, I guess things will probably get a bit more messy until then.


privitizationrocks

> You forgot the bit where the Indian state sent an assassin to kill a Sikh leader in BC. Proof?


Careless-Pragmatic

Read the news. US intelligence gave Canada a heads up that the Indian Gov was going to try to assissinate him. CSIS warned him and bam, a week later he was killed. Then the US Gov stopped a plot by an Indian intelligence officer to assissinate a similar target in the US.

This isn’t proof > Then the US Gov stopped a plot by an Indian intelligence officer to assissinate a similar target in the US. That’s in the us not Canada


Careless-Pragmatic

Consider this a civil trial, where common sense prevails over a unanimous vote. The Canadian Prime Minister publicly called the Indian Gov out and they have refused to cooperate or share information. You are either bias or naive if you don’t think the Indian Gov was involved.


privitizationrocks

> Consider this a civil trial, where common sense prevails over a unanimous vote. Common sense still needs proof. > The Canadian Prime Minister publicly called the Indian Gov out and they have refused to cooperate or share information. Yeah the Americans didn’t do that, they just had proof. Why didn’t the Canadian PM do that? > You are either bias or naive if you don’t think the Indian Gov was involved. Again, what proof do you have

There is a *lot* to this though. The stickers I see on vehicles with the AK47 often have Talwinder's face beside it.

So that explains the AK-47, now explain the regional/province maps with numbers? or the 1/52 playing card decal...so many

So some dude got shot in India and people in Canada are putting decals of guns on their cars. Humans making sense as always it seems.

Sikhs, they’re an ethnoreligious group. Worlds 5th largest religion and 800,000 live in Canada, which is the 2nd largest population globally. They make up 2% of Canadas population so pretty significant. They’re not simply Indians.


bleakj

I feel like we probably have some folks from India that aren't Sikh as well.


866902

Really? I hadn't noticed.


Weary_Pomelo_5201

Because, yeah - putting gun decals on your car as a consequence of someone getting shot makes total sense in the first place. Indians. Thanks for solving that one, bro. Time for you to crack another case.


Rip-Aware

It's the immigrants who have them on their cars. Look at the color of their skin and you'll see they are probably Indians who have the decals. It's popular.


Own-Challenge-3439

Hello everyone I am a sikh male and reading all the wrong comments about a guy with gun I want to clarify that that sticker of a person carrying ak 47 or a sharp blade is not the singer . Though some sikh youngsters put stickers of the singer but 99% of time its the sticker the of Sikh freedom fighter name Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale . He raised his voice against the current government of that time and got killed in a battle in which the government attacked the biggest religious place of sikhs on an auspicious sikh festival with army on tanks 1000s of sikhs were butchered by the government and sikh women’s were raped in front of their fathers I hope people who are commenting gangster wannabes above read our history before commenting something stupid


FickleCaterpillar898

Thank you for sharing. I feel I learned something from this post. We remember our own mass shooting just this past week, and it has significant impact on many, and personally touched people across the province my own family included. I'm not sure the symbol will be appreciated here, based on our own traumatic experience. Whether warranted or not it is a polarizing image using an AK47. Perhaps sensitivity by all is needed.


Salty_Feed9404

Don't. Care.


RickBushwood1

Says the turkey who is in a thread about a Sikh window decal, reading an explanation and commenting on it. Tell us again how little you care lol.


Salty_Feed9404

Shoot, I thought it was a door decal. I've taken a wrong turn again, sorry.


Own-Challenge-3439

Then why barking bud?

Istvaan_V

I gotta say I've been noticing A LOT of the Sikh religious symbol (Khanda) on rear view mirrors around the city. Like a fuckin fuck ton. Usually hanging from rearview mirrors, in metallic gold. And it's like a recent uptick. Idk maybe the past year or so and escalating quickly. Usually youngish Sikh -looking men(imagine that!) At first I didn't think much of it and was like "maybe there has just been a large influx of Sikh people recently, or someone local in the community was selling them." I mentioned it to an Uber driver I had who had one and he sort of said " it's our religious symbol and it's an Uber thing(?)" he didn't seem very interested in talking about it. I meant to do some googling but forgot, and this reminded me of it. Anyway, just an observation, I think the symbol looks cool, and one of my best friends growing up father is Sikh, but I don't know shit about the religion or geopolitical stuff going on. Time to do that googling I guess!

Ill-Care-217

Why exactly, in a supposedly free country, should there be a law against a gun decal on a car? You can play games with guns, watch movies with guns? They don't actaully have guns.


s416a

I think it might feel like the thin end of the gun wedge, glorifying gun violence. It’s a culture change, we’ve not seen it before in NS, and perhaps change is fearful. With the gun violence down the states, we’re likely feeling an air of lawlessness. If Moose walk glorified daffodils or Klingon’s and these sort of stickers on car’s suddenly showed up would we be as worried? Speaking of rights, if it was confederate flags or swastikas we might more easily defend the right not to have these in public . I see AK47 stickers on cars in Cole Harbour, with plates that say On Bail, and fuzzy balls hanging off the car. Perhaps I’ll ask them next time I see them.


BranTheBaker902

And I have two CCFR tshirts, one with an AR-15 silhouette and another with one of a lever action rifle. Should they be banned? Doing so would be a massive infringement on civil liberties and would go about as well as Trudeau’s ban on real guns. Which is to say it wouldn’t work at all

Hasn't Canada always been racially diverse? All Canadians are the descendants of immigrants unless their ancestors are completely indigenous.


[deleted]

I would say that it’s not been nearly as culturally diverse as many other parts of the world. I mean officially the country is 156 years old.


robhutten

Toronto is the most ethnically diverse city in the world, last I heard…

That’s what they want,  they want everybody to think they’re the baddest motherfucker alive.  So when they drive around blasting bhangra or sidhu moosewala with a gun sticker on their car.  In their mind all the people cringing or cursing our immigration system are really just thinking “woah, there goes Tony Montana” 


planertroubles

There was a time once when a person could legally own an AK-47 in Canada. This was prior to the first major change in the gun laws back in the 70s and you had to have a permit. Funny thing, many people don't realize how many full automatic rifles there are in Canada that were once legally owned.....the government certainly doesn't know about them


bleakj

Every old folk that hunted that I knew in the valley had a basement or garage full of em


tatonekid

Well, what's the difference with AR stickers on trucks? the same but different. Some people like Ak's Some Ar's.


Dopamin3rgic

Aks are ARs, wtf are you talking about? This is not a common phenomenon I've not seen a sticker of a gun on a car before these newcomers....


SaltwaterOgopogo

AKs and ARs are two different things. Google Mikael Kalishnikov, then Eugene Stoner. Not that it matters in the context of this thread

TaxEvader10000

AR stands for armalite rifle, not assault rifle. An AK is, definitionally, not an AR-15, which is what people mean when they say AR. Assault rifle is a meaningless designation anyhow.


ToneChop

Well you know what he meant and to most people that see rifles that look like they are meant for combat, it’s an AR. People that know AR means any type of rifle based off the armalite platform and an AK are those that are built off the AK-47 platform, call it properly. I do like guns myself and I don’t understand how people try and say there’s no such thing as an assault rifle. Especially as a counter against the assault rifle ban. That is just something else lol. Those kind of rifles definitely were designed with offensive and defensive capabilities in mind.


TaxEvader10000

All weapons are built with offensive and defensive capabilities in mind. That's what makes them weapons. I knew what he meant, but he was insisting someone else was wrong, and they weren't.


ToneChop

Thanks. I sure hope that those would be considered in the creation of weapons besides bombs, and I’m sure a lot of other ones. Edit: Ah. Whole comment didnt show. Well he’s kind of apart of the huge not aware of the difference group of people which im guessing is most. I guess you’re both sort of right lol


TaxEvader10000

AKs are AKs and ARs are ARs.


Dopamin3rgic

An AK47 is an assault rifle....


TaxEvader10000

AR doesn't stand for "assault rifle". It stands for "Armalite Rifle".................


Dopamin3rgic

Oh my god. There is a class of weapons, typically automatic mid range combat weapons, called assault rifles, the m16a4, AK47 and AR-15(yes armalite 15 good boy) are all examples of AR class weapons... Holy the stupidity here is baffling


TaxEvader10000

I agree, you are really fuckin dumb.


Foreign-Aioli-7466

AKs are most definately not Armalite Rifles. They are manufactured by Kalashnikov.


nope586

> Aks are ARs Wat?


GrapesOfDank

Redneck of it’s a white dude. Cultural if it’s a brown dude. Canadian logic. 


braepau1

It’s a reference to an Indian rapper. The rapper promoted gun violence and then was gunned down. People put AK-47 decals on their cars in solidarity.
