Bye Bye semi automatic rifles

This is coming down to a competency issue. A handgun ban that isn't a handgun ban. An "assault-style" rifle ban that has not taken a single one out of circulation and a huge list of guns that people interpreted as guns the government intended to ban.

Banning certain categories of guns is not rocket science particularly if they are registered. Other countries have done it successfully although it was wildly expensive for the taxpayer.

The people who should be the angriest are the gun banners. Trudeau promised them a ban and didn't deliver.

Rarely,does someone manage to have everyone agree with them. It's just a given that you can't please everyone. Equally rare,though,is that Mr.Trudeau and the Liberals have managed to PO everybody not only here in this country,but,everywhere else around the world. Now,that takes real effort and a very special kind of talent.

When Aaron Wherry of the CBC writes an article that paints the Liberals in an unfavourable light that says something

Even their media arm can’t help but face the truth

Having everyone equally angry with you isn't a bad thing unless you've picked a side. Trudeau picked a side on guns and abandoned his supporters when the going got rockier than anticipated. It's never a good plan to betray your own side. The other side is happy but is not about to trust you.

Quickly?!?.......hmmmm,i did not count the days,but quickly would be within a week of submitting the proposal.
Then they could perhaps save face by throwing someone of their own under the bus ,as sacrifice and scape goat.

This way..........wow!
What a boondoggle.

We’re relieved that the hunting rifles are safe(r) for now, but there is still the handgun ban and freeze to contend with….

Just imagine if all the political energy and cost spent on this was directed at helping CANADA & Canadians.

There is no certainty hunting rifles will be safe for long. The list of firearms that the Liberals withdrew was intended to be part of the legislation. Expect that list to reappear in some form as part of the regulations to the new law.

Yep. Anyone who thinks this will just go away hasn't been paying attention.

Well the gun banners would have to make a choice in the next election, would they turn and vote Conservative , NO I think. Would they vote new Democrat maybe, I think.

Liberals switching to the NDP helps the Conservatives. It's not as good as having them switch to you but it's a good alternative.
