No Political Opportunity Wasted - No Matter How Misguided

[BCreserveMP]

Perfect, splendid response.

And you are absolutely right about the apathy. I was disappointed by the last e-petition, not because it was ignored by Ottawa (did anyone think it wouldn't be?), but because fully 92% of PAL holders didn't even bother to sign it. That speaks volumes.

And guess what? Most of those who didn't sign - who didn't care - are now in the crosshairs. Handguns are next. Not just semis but western six-shooters. And hunting rifles are now being examined. Where does it end? It doesn't. It literally never ends. If you believe prohibition works, only total prohibition will be acceptable.

I really hope the orgs can bury the hatchet. We have two years go get this right, and in reality we only have one shot. Don't waste it.

Here we go...

We don't even have two years. Lots of rumors flying around about a snap election. Trudeau bought off the media. Perhaps he's not happy with only a minority, even if his anti gun coalition gives him quite the majority. Also? OIC's. There's no guarantee what will be in the next one. We all know he's probably making another OIC right now. We better get our ducks lined up and I mean RFN!

Very eloquent..
Too bad you’re “preaching to the choir” here.

The sad fact of the matter is that the majority of the sheeple who blindly follow the Liberals and their Glorious Leader will continue to do so - no amount of rational logic will sway them...

The rest of us despise them anyhow.

The fence sitters will continue to fence sit unless they happen to own an AR, which is highly unlikely.

What did Trudeau have to loose?
The 100K+ owners affected already hated him...he would gladly swap those for a handful of “undecided” votes.

Not to mention the opportunity it presents to take away attention from the ginormous mess they made when they didn’t seal the borders right away to Covid-19.

The next big fight, and it is coming, is when the handgun buck gets passed to the municipalities.
A couple of ill-informed libertarian councillors in any town can make life pretty miserable for us.

Thankfully that fight can go to the Supreme Court where it will likely be overturned as in the U.S.
It would be like passing another federal responsibility, such as Immigration, to the municipalities.

I keep hearing about them threatening to “strengthen storage laws” and I wouldn’t be surprised if Billie-Bob and his wonks are already drafting central storage regulations, if they aren’t already done.

Time to invest in Air Soft...

We need to stop Canada's dictator from taking away more of our rights and freedoms and deliberately bankrupting western Canada. He just turned law-abiding gun owners into criminals. LAW ABIDING is the key word there, i should be able to own whatever i want as long as I've proven I'm not a violent person and with no criminal record. This has got to stop. I'm ashamed of what my country has become. My grandfather fought for our freedom and our country and now my fellow, good Canadians freedoms are being taken away from them for no other reason than the Liberal government doesn't like guns. Hate to break it to them but your average Joe, with no criminal history and an AR-15 are not the people you need to worry about in this country, its the criminal element and the organized crime element of this country that we need to tighten the noose on. These criminals have guns now and will have guns after you strip the non-criminal public of their firearms. No firearm of any kind have ever killed anyone, ever. The criminal element uses guns as a tool to commit murder, just as they use knives, baseball bats, vehicles, explosive devices etc. In NS, the mentally ill POS that killed 22 people, he started several fires that killed people, yet we don't ban gasoline or matches. More people die monthly in motor vehicle accidents in this country than die yearly due to homicide, yet we are still driving. The liberals and their leader are about as close to communist as you can be. They have paid terrorists millions of dollars, our "leader" himself has been accused of crimes while in office and of course there are no reprocussions. He praises China, a communist country with horrible human rights violations including mass murder, oppression and involuntary organ harvesting. The whole world knows that China started Covid, either on purpose or through negligence, yet the liberal party turns a blind eye and the rewards them by buying back our country's own PPE at 1000% markup. They take billions of dollars every year from Alberta to bail out the east, yet when we need a hand they turn their backs and infact impose restrictions to make it nearly impossible for us to climb out of our financial hole and sell our oil to put income back in our economy. We as Canadians are known as "nice" all over the world, which is an excellent way to be viewed by other nations, but "nice" doesn't mean we are sheep. It doesn't mean we don't have a voice to stand up to oppression within our own borders by people that we have "elected". It doesn't mean that we bow our heads and put our hands behind our backs when we are stripped of our freedoms. The issue is not "why does anybody need xxxx type rifle" the issue is "WHY CAN'T I have that xxxx type rifle as a law abiding citizen that uses it for shooting sports, hunting, a hobbie or any other LEGAL activity". I'm in the automotive industry and the Dodge Motor Company has a vehicle on the market call the Dodge Hellcat, the car has 707hp and can reach speeds close to 300km/h. Does anyone "Need" 707hp to drive the kids to school? No, but some people WANT it, and if they have the funds, the desire and a drivers license they can purchase it. Realistically, we don't "need" much, only food clothing and shelter. We don't "need" $2000 cell phones or a $500k home. We don't "need" food delivered to our doorstep at the touch of a button. But some of us WANT those things and some don't, that is the beauty of being in a democratic society, where people are allowed to think for themselves and have our own hobbies, desires and way of living. And as long as it isn't harming the rest of the population, then what does it matter? A firearm in the hands of a lawful, mentally sound person is no harm to anyone, just like a hammer in the hand of a lawful person is no harm to anyone, however, a firearm, or a hammer in the hands of a criminal hell bent on hurting people will use those items to do so. Tightening laws only affect people who abide the laws. The people who didn't abide the law before it was tightened up, aren't going to suddenly abide by it when its strengthened.
