Town halls are a means to reach out and hear the voices of Canadians.Once you have heard from all interested parties,you run an election and even if you might lose that election you stick to your guns and see the results. I think that was what was done.
The media is free to report across this country and there are many outlets for the media to support one viewpoint or another. The Toronto SUN with a wide readership generally takes the opposite view of the Toronto STAR.Not unlike Fox News and CNN.

Staying out of the partisan politics is working so far. It's surprising how it changes one's disposition. I quit watching CNN. I'm sick of that crap,too. :moose:

So since I bought a 870 super mag with a 28" barrel, a trigger pull of 13 to 15 pounds, and now I lowered the trigger pull to 6 pounds, added an adjustable rear stock, and replaced the stamped metal shell extractor with a machined one my 870 is now illegal.

Take the time to read it.

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

I might suggest that maybe you should have read it way back when it was 1st linked...see post #66....

It clarifies their postion and clearly states they are not going to support the petition and it is for the sake of money.

"In addition, Canada Revenue Agency guidelines stipulate that DUC can only engage in political activities that further our charitable purpose of wetland conservation". .

Clearly you have fully bought into the hysteria being circulated by imbeciles.

My after market trigger makes my swing on a bird or running game smoother. The aftermarket shell extractor eliminates stovepipe hulls for a cleaner ejection of empty hulls. Cleaning and polishing the chamber makes hull extractions smooth and eliminates stuck hull. The adjustable rear stock allows both my wife and I to use the same shotgun.

I would say the accessories and mods have made it MUCH more effective for hunting.

Many complaints received. Thread closed and moved to "Off Topics" where the general public can't read.
