Bye Bye semi automatic rifles

I wouldn't count this as a "win" by any stretch. The government will simply re-word it and slip it in the back door in some other form. The only way to handle this most draconian and anti-freedom and liberty garbage legislation is to repeal and remove The Firearms Act in it's entirety. It's a hot mess that needs to be gone.

The Firearms Act will remain. Get used to it...even our gun happy neighbors to the South have recognized that there is a certain amount of Public Safety tied to Gun Laws. The argument is what is reasonable.

However. This is a "win" for the following reasons:

1. It proved that political will and campaigning works, when a bad law is being tabled.
2. It educated many non-gun owners as to how the gun laws worked, and in fact do exert a fair amount of control and responsibility.
3. It also sent a message to the Liberal Party ( Who have historically been the ones to table any gun laws), that they can go to far, and be held to account for it. And that even their own Caucus wont go along with wrong laws.

Agreed it's mostly a stay of execution however we live in the now not the future. Yes there is a 99.9% this foolishness is brought up again when political points are needed but for right now (obviously not right now because it isn't deer or bear season) I can hunt with my SKS and my Garand worry free. I'll take what I can get unfortunately.

Right,I should have added to replace it with more common sense,less restrictive regulations which could be written on one page,not on a three thousand page volume of technical legalese jargon and outright BS.

Yes...

That's what the last few posts have been about.....

These moves were an ELECTION LOSER for the Liberals and they quickly came to that conclusion by the numerous e mails sent to their offices on this issue by Hunters of ALL POLITICAL STRIPES. Message received loud and clear.

There's nothing like an imminent execution to get someone's attention. This won't save Trudeau this time. Too little,too late.
