as much as i would love to see some major changes, we will only see the long gun registry disapear as promised by the conservatives. there is zero reason for the conservatives to do anything about firearm legislation other then what was promised about removing the long gun registry. just remember the conservatives were and are trying prove they are financialy responsible by removing the registry. being financial responsible is a necesity for seeking re-election. that is the only reason for its potential elimination. they are not doing it to apease us and make the hunters happy.
i only hope the registry disapears before the next firearm related tragedy strikes at a canadian school, mall, government facilty ect ect. that way i can at least keep my semi autos hidden when they are banned for civilian ownership and siezed from us. just remember we are potential only one tragedy away from even more government legislation being rammed down our throats or our semi autos being seized from us. its unfortunate but its true. the tories will turn on us just like the ndp would or the liberals would after the next tragedy. unfortunetly canadian culture does not embrace firearm ownership unlike the united states. it is only a matter of time before we are just the same as australia and great britain.
I agree,
Nothing can solidify to the way this thread thinks until WE create a steady HONEST and humble culture of conservatism (unlike Mulroney)
Ar15 or anything else "radical" to the press and to the other 60% will be political suicide. WHEN there is an incident with a long gun crime, the RIGHT HONOURABLE Harper, along with our "rights" will take a huge hit, like never before. They cant wait to find any excuse to defame our way of thinking as EVIL and REDNECK. AND it will look ugly to any pro gun first term maj government.
103 seats went to the EXTREMIST socialists who became the official opposition!!! 31% of all votes cast!!! We are nowhere even close to fostering an ideology of firearm sensibility in society..... Big 'C' conservatism with which this topic must have. If we ram it down there throats too soon, like they've done to us for too long, the rhetoric and negative coverage will be unheralded. the ONLY reason PC's won maj is because of the lib bluevote.... and they are scared s**tless of guns....
An example of the fight we are in for;
The friends I surf with on van island, who mainly come from the mainland are some of back in the day clayoquot protesters. They are leaders and current ACTIVE cloverdale and all rodeo animal rights protesters, and who pretty much shut it down. They 're talking how they can't wait to get there PAL, then do LONG GUN petty CRIME ie, shooting in urban areas, stuff under the radar just to scew the stats of crime after this bill is past.
This is who we are really dealing with, the extreme left, with sensational acts, whom which the media loves. I mean please, even the centre left here are exhuming humanely euthanized sled dogs out too see if they've suffered or not, to untold tax payer expenses.
Lets take a deep breath, Let PM HArper move slowly with tact, as he has done, it'll take a min of three terms, as long he and his mp's don't corrupt first(mulroney), to convince and bury these half century entrenched ruling class socialistic ideals that have hurt so many in our great country for far too long. Baby steps
