Understanding of course you mean public, as in public hunting forums and hunting related social media sites. (The general public..ie main stream media, have no interest in this story).

As such, it is important for hunters to see where loyalties lies when push comes to shove. This OIC by the Liberals, could (because we haven't seen the full order) impact far deeper that some are suggesting. In order to submit a petition to Government to force the debate, will require unanimous support by ALL hunters and Hunting associations. We're are a small voting block, so we need to be united to be heard.

To avoid taking a stance becasue it MAY affect your charitable TAX status shows little backbone.

Why would DUC seek support from hunters if they don't want to support hunters themselves? It's a two way street

Gun owners and hunters are a little to sophisticated to be roped in by this.
I wish I had a dollar for every time Stephen Harper stated he was standing up for the rights of duck hunters.Maybe he believed he had them brain washed and they would follow like sheep.Some folks on this forum should take note...

I hope everyone can find the humour and hypocrisy in you accusing other members on here of sewing division.

The electorate in the last general election voted for further gun control. The gun lobby before the election believed they could defeat the Liberals using their supporters and doubled down "see you at election time".

Well they saw us at election time and we have the result. The gun lobby failed because 75% on Canadians want a ban on assault type rifles.

I guess you've not seen my 870..
Pistol grip, telescoping stock, ammo holders on stock, some other toys...

Still the same firearm, only things different is some of the "Furniture ".
Name one item that I can not have on my 870.


A cop car is still a car. A police 870 is still an 870.

DU's response is posted here: https://www.ducks.ca/ducks-unlimited...0our%20website

Take the time to read it.

Now let's stop expecting every organization to be all things to everybody.

But a shooting is a shooting does not matter who you are, it affects many around them. . Does not matter if your a banger a cop or an innocent bystander in the end it's just another shooting. They are all the same they are humans.

I guess it just depends who you are if matters or not. We see how it is only certain lives matter. Piss on the poverty.[emoji107]
