They just said on global national they are rolling out a new "firearms legislation" what does that even mean? Could someone explain

I find this theatre troubling.

Normally the Liberals seem to prefer to whip out their policies with loud virtue signalling up front and - only when pressured - do a tour of meaningless town halls and call it stakeholder consultation... without changing their policies a whit.

So how over the top stupid & bad does their policy have to be that they need to stage this first?

Good observation and food for thought. There isa pattern to their behaviour isn't there.

I don't have an answer other than they are really late on the rollout of the Bill so maybe this was staged to make it look like it's really hard?

CBC web page is dribbling out some hints under the Politics tab.,

Sounds like it's more in depth screening for mental health and violent offenses in a person's past.

This?



RCMP will have the "Authority" to re-asses present gun owners for Mental Health Issues and Violence.



Wow .... better be nice all the time to the significant other!

That did occur to me too.
They need to stall long enough to formulate a response timed to avoid doing anything but dangling it as a promise if re-elected.

After all, that is really their primary objective.

Thanks for the info. I'm curious if there are reps from the gun owners orgs invited.

Tony Bernardo - CSSA
Wes Winkel - CSAAA
Allison DeGroot - CSAAA
Tracy Wilson - CCFR

OK but are the gun owner orgs invited to present? Or just sit mutely in the audience?

Wasn't this always the case?

I only watched certain parts of the agenda related to guns specifically. The orgs were not part of the agenda nor did I see any reference to them. They were just there to participate by listening in to what was being tabled by the looks of it.
