So I am late to the dance since the announcement of the handgun ban.
I have been approved and I am waiting for my R-PAL to be printed. Delay even on that. Based on what is going on now, no surprise there. It may already be too late for me.
Based on the events of the past 6 months and especially after yesterday's proposed amendments, my novice opinion is that they are going for complete disarmament. That is their long game.
Unfortunately it's the sum total o the ABC vote that PP is facing.
The strategy of changing our image into a positive one of "trusted citizens of the nation" would make it a poison pill for the NDP MP's to screw us over. As in how could aN NDP MP vote against a group that is working mightily and very publicly in an alliance with an established NGO like HFH to address the homeless crisis???
We had and ignored so many opportunities over the last 16 years it is to weep. Now we're paying the price for our ignorance.
Use the link in my sig line to see how this works. They kept the AR from being banned by the progs down there by using outreach as a force multiplier.

Bingo. If the closest competitor to a Liberal in your riding is NDP, then volunteer for their campaign when the election comes up. You can tell people that are worried about a CPC government that by giving the NDP more power, they'll have more opportunity to influence the direction of Canada. That may help convince them to vote NDP vs Liberal, and deny the Liberals that seat in Parliament.
For the life of me I can't understand why, when I predicted exactly the same thing as you have written here and did that back on 2015 on this epages, you and many like you did not seize the opportunity to join in a movement to do "something" to counter what we knew was coming?
Why not?

This is just crazy.
People have so much money invested on guns they can no longer use.
I feel helplessly defeated and considering giving up shooting sports entirely.
Tired of liberals making me feel like a criminal that goes around shooting up Jane and Finch.
anybody with a brain bigger than that of a mouse knew what is coming and knows what will come.
you are still not doing anything about it. cpc trends at around 25% now and that is without the white supremacist, racist, misogynist, assault weapons smear campaign even having started.
the worse the economy and housing gets the more votes the liberals will get because people will depend on welfare, handouts and lies and false promising.
Agreed. This community needs to work on multiple approaches to the problem: support the organizations so that they can continue to inform and continue to challenge in court; write your MP and senators about this issue, and ask to speak with them in person; inform your friends and bring them to the range; volunteer during the election with parties that have a chance to defeat the Liberal candidate in your riding regardless of political association because this is how you make inroads with people that otherwise don't know much about firearms.
Each of these approaches may or may not work, but as we should all know, redundancy is important. 2 is 1, 1 is none - always have a backup plan.
