Great post.
Why did the LGR get scrapped?
It wasn’t b/c Canadians were suddenly on our side, or pro-gun. It wasn’t b/c the average citizen became aware of the actual facts and stats re: guns and crime/violence (that don’t tend to work for the antis and their emotion-based arguments).
It was massive costs + a public impression that it wasn’t actually doing much. Failure.
I predict that non-compliance will be massive...particularly if they go after widely held non-res firearms.
