That would be awesome. 75000 melted down deactived ar15 relievers. But wait... they will make the other parts illegal.
The Liberals intend to run deficits forever. Currently that's $18,695 for every man woman and child in Canada. ( https://www.debtclock.ca/ )
It used to be that a nations debt, even as a result of war, was paid off within 20 years so as to not saddle the next generation with this generations problems and circuses. The Liberals intend to not only saddle this generation, but the unborn.
Sooner or later GDP will fall, and the irresponsible Liberals will scream that debt is a problem and that it's Harper's and Doug Ford's fault.
People accuse me of being a single-issue writer, a single-issue thinker, and a single-issue voter, but it isn't true. What I've chosen, in a world where there's never enough time and energy, is to focus on the one political issue which most clearly and unmistakably demonstrates what any politician or political philosophy is made of, right down to the creamy liquid center.
Make no mistake: all politicians even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician or political philosophy can be put.
If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.
[I]f a politician won't trust you, why should you trust him? If he's a man and you're not what does his lack of trust tell you about his real attitude toward women? If "he" happens to be a woman, what makes her so perverse that she's eager to render her fellow women helpless on the mean and seedy streets her policies helped create? Should you believe her when she says she wants to help you by imposing some infantile group health care program on you at the point of the kind of gun she doesn't want you to have?
On the other hand or the other party should you believe anything politicians say who claim they stand for freedom, but drag their feet and make excuses about repealing limits on your right to own and carry weapons? What does this tell you about their real motives for ignoring voters and ramming through one infantile group trade agreement after another with other countries?
Makes voting simpler, doesn't it? You don't have to study every issue health care, international trade all you have to do is use this X-ray machine, this Vulcan mind-meld, to get beyond their empty words and find out how politicians really feel. About you. And that, of course, is why they hate it.

Can you demonstrate one time or place, throughout all history, where the average person was made safer by restricting access to handheld weapons?

One eye to the past. One eye to the future. The wisest course.
When I was a kid you could walk down the street with a machine-gun and the only guy to take notice would be some old-timer who might say, "Gawd, I saw enough a' those at Passchendaele. What you gonna do with it?"
Serious.
If you don't load it and point it at somebody, a machine-gun is no more dangerous than a book-end.
Problem is that you people have been CONDITIONED into thinking that it is NORMAL to worry about a millimeter of barrel length and the off-chance that if your sizing die is too tight, your magazine might accidentally hold 6 rounds.
Do you not UNDERSTAND? All this guff about making the country "SAFE" is just that: GUFF. There never WAS a period in this country of wide-open violence. This country was UNDER CONTROL, always. Where I live had POLICE for 6 years BEFORE it had SETTLERS. Half the country is like that.
Canada has a fine old tradition of KEEPING THE PEASANTS IN LINE..... and, if they don't like it, kill a few. Winnipeg General Strike, Regina 'On to Ottawa' trek, Estevan Miners' Strike: ALL left out of the history books, ALL places and times in which Deadly Force was used against the Canadian People BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA.
ALL of the "Gun Control" measures of the last 40 years have one single aim: to reduce once-proud Canadian Citizens to the status and demeanour of SHEEP.
The Liberal Party wanted Canada to be, "Like Russia, or China, or Cuba...... one of those, anyway". Those are the words of Pierre Eliot Trudeau, who many of you have been "educated" to think was the greatest leader and thinker this country ever produced. He was NOT. He was a snide, smirking, sneaking megalomaniac who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and hated and despised anything West of Montreal. Like ANY Socialist, he hated the IDEA than Citizens should be FREE to go about their own business, so long as they were not actively harming other citizens.
Trudeau hated the English Common Law system in which you are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
He much preferred the French system in which you are GUILTY UNTIL YOU CAN PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE.
HE and the people around him created this Statist monstrosity we have today, the NANNY STATE in which everyone must have their hand held and everyone must be supervised at all times by Mommy Government.
And it has worked.
If you have that faint little feeling that something is not quite right, that little flickering idea that perhaps you should not be punished for something that you didn't do, then you are starting to think like a Free Man. Exercise your freedoms, learn about the Common Law and about the Constitution of Canada and how your country is SUPPOSED to be run..... and then TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK from the Statists and the cowering little people who serve them.
This should be the finest, richest, greatest country in the world. That it is NOT is due to to a few hundred people and the political parties which they OWN and CONTROL.
They don't control THIS party!

[Bill Blair]'s actually more of a Statist. Similar - but basically he believes that only the 'authorities' should have any power and should not be questioned. He doesn't like the idea of anyone other than police having guns, he expects to be able to make up his own laws and doesn't care if that's illegal (g-20 'fence' law), and thinks we should all be good little citizens who do what we're told.
The liberals are a very statist party. They're not really true socialists, but they do believe that the gov't should run everything and that people should either WANT to do what they're told by the gov't or be FORCED to if they don't want to because obviously they don't know what's best for themselves.

The libs believe that their vision for Canada should be mandated by law. The CPC is far far far less down that road.
One eye to the past. One eye to the future. The wisest course.
Please go out and vote in the early polls today.
This is our shot to stop the Libs from taking our property
And the NDP must be stopped from forming a coalition with The Blackface Boy King JT (fake feminist, etc...)
The only way do that is to get a majority. Please bring friends and family to vote too.
Happy Thanks Giving! And lets Make JT a Drama Teacher Again!
GOD, GUNS & GOLD - Three Gs I seek
Not the time to vote PPC. Its just like voting for a friend who u think is pro gun. Since he/she cant win anyway hence cant legislate or drive policy. If JT and the Libs plus NDP form a coalition there wont be any legal guns to fight for in the next four years.
Vote wisely especially this time. The PPC will have their chance but not today.
GOD, GUNS & GOLD - Three Gs I seek
Vote conservative, we win majority October 21st
