. If this goes badly and generates negative press for the Lib-Tards then it may be delayed until after an election which gives us all a bit of breathing room to watch the Team Wendy poop all over them and maybe finally see just how incompotent they really are.
If anything goes bad, you know they'll find a way to leverage this in their favour for the election.
In fact, that may just be what they really want to happen. Something bad that "justifies" the forced confiscation and "proves" owners are bad people.
Never forget the Liberal Party is a well oiled machine operated by very intelligent people. It all looks like a circus ran by a bunch of idiots, and it's true to a certain extent. It's also done on purpose. Everything is choreographed and rehearsed. Every mistake is planned. Every leak was meant to happen. Evry single thing that is a genuine error is spun and leveraged.
They expect someone to snap and do something stupid when the cops show up to take their guns away.
The options usually laid out to us (either giving firearms away, or refusing to give them up and facing the consequences) mean we'd be playing on their terms either way.
What they don't expect (and they're not wrong) is a coherent response from us that creates strong public sympathy towards gun owners and/or opposition against C-21.
Please allow me to link to an opinion piece in French:

That's one way to turn public opinion in our favour. It's too little, too late at that point. But most of the community has been playing by the Liberals' rules all along and never managed to think outside the box. The "debate" has usualy been focused on the ridiculous bills and laws they came up with, effectively diverting attention from what matters.
In the end, it's irrelevant how many we are. There could be 25 millions of us, and we'd still be losing the game.
For comparison (and I'm not saying it's the same debate, or that I agree with all of it), the LGBT community is comprised of approximately 1 million Canadians. They've managed to turn a very hostile public opinion in their favour, and even had laws and rules abolished to accomodate them. Not judging -- just planely stating the facts.
As long as our strategy is to fight back after the facts, the antis will control the debate and keep the upper hand. We're a low hanging fruit while we should be an untouchable class of upstanding citizens. This needs to change first.
