Minister guarantees new gun laws will not hurt hunting rights

I can see the government pushing the idea that the only reason to own firearms are hunting and the protection of livestock by farmers. Eventually the argument will be made that only First Nations have a "right" to hunt so they will be the only ones allowed to possess firearms for hunting. Once that is accomplished they will severely restrict the types of firearms that First Nations can use and mandate central storage on reservations or even mandate that the firearms be the property of the band to be loaned out during hunting seasons.
 
You guys that think only natives will be allowed to hunt are insane. Even BC would kick their ####ing government out (next election) if something like that was brought up.

Seems insane for our lifetime. It is not insane to believe that some day in the distant future all hunting activities are restricted. And since nobody wants to touch native rights, a future in which only natives are hunting is quite possible. Take a look at what people were saying was not possible or "insane" 100 years ago, look at just your lifetime. The future looks grim.
