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.
