Can they? Of course they can, they have a majority in parliament and the senate. Any legislation they truly want to pass they can, with no real obstacles.
Will they? Absolutely not. The CPC are not our friends, they are simply less the enemy than the Libs and the NDP. The CPC are no more interested in significantly loosening gun control laws than they are in legalizing pot.

ialso agree that having more in the hands of restricted owners boosts the numbers and "pull"
educating the public is the biggest obstical, we as a gun community need to generate "good gun news", look what toys for tots does for the bikers, at least one positive news story per year. thats more than i hear about gun clubs, you can blame the "libral media" or work to generate positive news in your own communtiy
