Hi, I'm not trolling if anyone thinks that, I just want to lean more. Facts not blind emotion.
Bill C-17
My questions are:
Why did a conservative Gov. introduce this bill?
And 2: What makes anyone think the Conservatives will do anything to reverse the laws/legislation already in place regarding firearms?
Thanks for any info
Bill C-17
What is Bill C-17?
Bill C-17 was introduced and passed in 1991 by the Kim Campbell
Conservatives. It created expanded powers for the minister of justice
to restrict any firearm and prohibit those not "commonly used in Canada
for hunting or sporting purposes". Other sections included new powers
for police to search the homes of certain types of "gun collectors", and
placed limits on magazine sizes (10 rounds for semi-auto pistols and 5
for centre-fire semi-auto rifles and shotguns, but there are a few
exceptions).
Bill C-17, introduced by the Mulroney government, confiscated (without compensation) previously-registered firearms. Bill C-68 will, if implemented, confiscate most currently registered handguns.
