[Mr Wolverine]

The Liberal Government has issued a 30 day consultation period for a potential handgun and ‘assault weapon’ ban. Here is the link:

Reducing violent crime: A dialogue on handguns and assault ...

Keeping communities safe and reducing violent crime is a priority for the Government of Canada. This is why, in his Mandate letter, the Prime Minister has asked the Honourable Bill Blair, Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, to lead an examination of a ban on handguns and ...

I urge everyone to open the link, it is a short easy read and then write a few notes, yes a hand written letter to the address that is provided.

A few points you may like to mention:

Quote: to lead an examination of a ban on handguns and assault weapons in Canada, while not impeding the lawful use of firearms by Canadians. Notice the different use of the words I highlighted.

Quote: Any ban of handguns or assault weapons would primarily affect legal firearms owners, Surprize surprize, so why ban them?

Quote: “Assault weapon” is not a legally defined term in Canada's firearms legislation. Various international jurisdictions use different terms and definitions, often based on physical characteristics. For illustrative purposes, the US Department of Justice has used the following description: “in general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine. Then we are told large magazines are prohibited so how can this definition be relevant in Canada? or even to this debate.

We also know that true "assault rifles" are also prohibited.

Quote: In Canada, there are also limits on the number of cartridges a firearm magazine can hold – ten for semi-automatic handguns and five for other centre-fire semi-automatic firearms. Magazines of a larger capacity are prohibited.

The bottom line is "Get hard on crime not us" legal law abiding gun owners.

This whole issue is with reguards to the U.N. Small arms trade treaty and the disarmament of “illicit firearms” to which no definition has been made

Done! Thanks for letting us know about this survey!

“Assault rifle” is a improperly defined term in this farce because we have mag capacity limitations. Therefore the rest of the definition is based in aesthetics.

Agreed! Also is a true "Assault Rifle" select fire and fires an Intermediate Cartridge?

Seems like a ban was the plan all along and they will use anything they can (i.e, politicizing every single gang shooting) to push their agenda. Liberals claim to be inclusive and accepting of all lifestyles and life choices when the exact opposite is true. If you do not fit their narrow ideology you are cast aside like a Leper.

Done with comments throughout the questionnaire.
Something to note as well, I did NOT include my race or age.
No doubt this corrupt government will ignore any comments from old white males - probably delete them from the very outset.
Same as the Chretien government refused to listen to gun owners back when he and Rock launched the Long Gun 2 Billion Dollar Boondoggle.
It'll be interesting to see if the Trudeau regime (you know the transparent government) will actually release the results of this "consultation".
