Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.
Trudeau was NOT supposed to win a 2nd term so make no mistake! The little ________ is gonna have renewed zeal and enthusiasm to come after us real hard. Also, to those who would dare say JT lost seats? We still have to remember 3 of the 4 major parties hate us with a passion and a half so if anything? This is the worst time to ever become complacent.
Keep fighting the good fight!
CCFR-CSSA-NFA. 12(2), 12(3), 12(4), 12(6.1), 12(7)..... <What???? Okay! Okay I'm dreaming. I'll probably NEVER get to join the PROHIB club.
Agreed; those millions of marching kids...are putting us, and our "pet cause" to shame.
I'm generally disappointed by the apparent lack of response to the Liberals attack on our lawfully owned sporting firearms. At least, you, in the "West" seem united on the issue. I'm out here in the FAR west, on an island off the west coast, where a relatively small number of no less enthusiastic gun owners are banding together to get our voices heard. The majority of my other friends and acquaintances are "politely sympathetic" to our cause, but I'm doubtful that I changed any minds as far as voting. As often as I can, I'll invite them out for a 'range day' and introduce them to our sport. They always end the day grinning from ear-to-ear. We usually stop off at our 'local' for a bit of "après schutt". We can talk politics without coming to blows, but "at the end of the day"(!)" the general conclusion is that they are more interested in "breathing clean air" and "drinking clean water" than in spending much time fighting for the 'rights'(?) of gun owners, no matter how honest and law-abiding we are. It's just not a priority for them. Most of "the wives" (no sexism implied) will explain how gun hobbies are no longer "politically correct" in these times. Most of them have kids and grand-kids, and they're far more worried about the future world those kids are about to inherit from us as we begin to "age out".
Meanwhile, I'm doing what I can: Member of CSSA,NFA, and three gun clubs; Weeks prior to the election, I wrote letters to our four leading federal parties, asking them about their stands on firearms.
To my surprise and disappointment, the ONLY PARTY to reply were the GREENS, who assured me their party had no plans to make any changes to the existing Canadian Firearms Act. I can only speculate as to why the rest failed to reply. Maybe they were too busy planning the victory parade, maybe they figure the WEST COAST was just too small potatoes to bother with; maybe my cyber-pigeon got shot down by some 'election meddlers'?
If we were to organize one of these 'consciousness-raising street marches', I'd wager we wouldn't get more than a few dozen CGNers out onto the streets of Vancouver or Victoria; it's just not a popular enough cause out here.
Yesterday I was up at Cabelas, and was shocked at how depleted their stock looked. I've been sniffing around for one of the new Marlin 'levers' in 45-70: NADA.
Nor did I notice any 'AR's on display, not that I'd be interested in one now! I was wondering whether Cabelas was in process of "cleaning up" in anticipation of a visit from some sort of Federal Delegation....
im not sure mr PM is going to bring up gun control, as he knows it will be the icing on the cake, and the west will walk away from confederation.
unless of course thats his plan.
Can really tell who has lived in the west their whole lives vs the visitors in this thread. To us it isnt the topic of the day, it's our lifestyle being held hostage by people from Ontario, Quebec, and various immigrants from non western countries who vote overwhelmingly against our interests. Call and write all you want, as they import more voters their need for you will be reduced to tax slave for the needs of "new canadians" and the dregs in the east.
