Senator Hervieux-Payette is very clear on Liberal policy toward guns and gun owners and spelled out that policy in her Senate Bill S-231, disingenuously titled the “Strengthening Canadians’ Security and Promoting Hunting and recreational Shooting Act” through which she and the Liberal Party of Canada hope to accomplish the following:
- Prohibit all firearms in Canada except hunting firearms;
- Limit the definition of hunting firearms to the arms that are “really used” for the purposes of hunting;
- Limit the transport of circumscribed firearms to transporters, thus controlling the movement of firearms in Canada; and
- Undo all the provisions of Bill C-42, except for the prohibition on obtaining a licence to possess and acquire firearms following a domestic violence conviction;
- Stop licensed firearm owners from keeping their hunting rifles in their own homes.
It would appear to us that Senator Hervieux-Payette, and by extension Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, do not believe ordinary Canadians can be trusted with firearms.
