I got a fever, and the only prescription is more handguns.
This is not necessarily accurate, as C71 has received royal assent. It however, has not been enacted, nor have any memo's been issued to firearms businesses.
I personally am thinking that it likely won't be brought in to effect/force during this government's term.
Why? Simple. There's no "political profit". They never established the infrastructure to build the web portal for average Joe to verify a PAL online. They have not hired additional call center staff to handle assigning a 'reference number' for every single non restricted transfer. They have no hired additional law enforcement to enforce this. In fact, I see most police departments in the news right now are talking about budget cuts and job losses. Why should this matter, when Trudy obviously has no issues spending all of our money on a whim? Simple. Any motion through the house of commons on a budgetary matter, is considered a vote of confidence. They fail ONE vote, and the government dissolves and either another party is allowed to attempt to gain the confidence of the house, or we go to an election again.
Now, the media says the liberals "won" this election, but that's only a figure of speech. Every other party made gains, got more seats, got more of the popular vote than they had 4 years ago. The liberals lost seats, lost a good chunk of the popular vote... and realistically have lost the confidence of Canadians.
To average Joe, C71 is passed, liberals did stuff for gun control, and there will be zero media coverage of 'this bill is now enacted'. So you're talking a HUGE risk for the Liberals to take, trusting that every NDP MP vote along with them, and put that sort of a motion forward. Politically speaking, it's the equivalence of putting their heads in the guillotine to check if the basket is full and trusting the NDP to hold the rope. From the NDP perspective, another election probably means stealing more liberal ridings, and more political relevance...
Got mine yesterday, looks great! Assembly time!
Should get mine any day now I'm jacked. Just gotta pick the colors for cerakote
