Hunters say firearms ban didn't affect hunting season

[Gilroy]

You're full of it -- used by thousands of turkey hunters across the province, and the list of banned hunting shotguns and rifles doesn't end there.

Just because you're not "in the know" doesn't mean others aren't.

-N.

I don't think I 'am full of it but do admit I am not up on guns used by Turkey hunters, but I think you might be over exaggerating the number of hunters who use it. Can you explain exactly how you personally know THOUSANDS of turkey hunters are using this particular gun?

[Gilroy]

It's very obviously not what we're discussing here. Since when did semi-auto rifles, shotguns and 22 lr's become assault rifles?
Assault rifles have selective fire which you must already know, so all 1500+ guns banned, not one is an actual assault rifle.
What rifles are we discussing here Gilroy?

Well I would say all the one's now banned, because the general public do not care about the nuances involved here, an assault rifle is an assault rifle period. The Liberal's know this and that is maybe why they were emboldened to do such a massive ban.
Personally and I have said this on this forum I do not like Order's in Council or the RCMP making these determinations on what is banned its not democratic .

Does it even really bother the general public? Why are they even concerned about them they are not out shooting up the public are they?

Who said they are a threat to society ?

Just keep misleading the public it will make everything better I'm sure . Not

You've said your self it's a political game . We don't live in a game we don't get one ups and extra lives .

So do we just except we live in a world of lies? Ok to not tell the truth?

Do you think that same general public really cares if you shoot bambi every year? Do you think it would change their vote if the liberals want to ban your deer rifles?

No the general public does not care if we shoot deer every year, why would they. The Liberals have not ever indicated they want to ban deer rifles, why would they.

What do you mean, "why would they", that is exactly what they've already done. There's many deer hunters now that can no longer use their deer rifles they've been using for decades, do you not realize this?

Guys, the debate here is healthy but the reality is that firearms laws are not going to be a factor in the next election. It’s dear to my heart also but the truth is that Canada has much much bigger problems. Like a government that can’t say where they blew tens of billions in pandemic relief funding.

I was having a gun control/registry debate with a guy at work last year. Consider that nowhere in Ontario can you drive over 100km/hr (private tracks excepted), yet many cars are capable of twice that. WHY are they legal ? You can’t USE it. You don’t NEED it....slippery slope isn’t it ?? And I am confident that there are many more people killed in car accidents than shootings each year.

Air Canada got a least a half billion and they want more lol [emoji23].

There are some great arguments made on this subject.

I think we can all agree that the typical (non hunter and non shooter) citiot does not know there is no such thing as an Assault Weapon in Canada, and in most cases does not know the difference between a restricted firearm and a non restricted firearm and the associated laws that govern their use. I really believe that a large percentage of them really feel that taking legally owned any guns, or any guns away from Canadians will somehow make them safer.

Now from my earlier post from Billy Blair - I think the Liberals have ear marked $400-$700 Million for this gun buy back program which we all know, like anything the government touches, will quickly balloon out of control. So let's call it an even $5 Billion for arguments sake (and I am being so very kind with that number). How do you think Biff and Muffy citiot will view this buyback program when they catch wind that their illustrious Liberals are giving legal gun owners hundreds millions to buy back legally owned firearms just so that we can turn around and go buy more legally owned firearms? 250,000 guns get handed in and another 250,000 guns get purchased (and this number might grow). I can almost hear their heads explode now.

Billy cannot do a PR campaign because they might have to use facts that support that this ban will have zero effect on gun crime and is nothing more than a very expensive hallmark moment paid for my the Canadian Taxpayer (yet again). I am already eying my next purchase........my semi auto rifle for a bolt action rifle or to use Liberal jargon my assault rifle for a sniper rifle.
