Are you going to argue that the Left hasn't dramatically decreased the rights of gun owners in Canada? You wont win that arguement.

In my circle of friends and co workers as well just saying the word Liberal angers most. So you won't get any Liberal support on this forum or very few for good reason and don't expect that to change. No party is perfect but I cannot ever remember a time it being so bad with all the billions wasted by the Liberals. End of story.

I sure can. How about the Peterson Liberals? In all fairness,they inherited a financial catastrophe created by the Rae NDP,but,they did nothing to help the situation until the last six months of their mandate. By then it was too late. The Harris PC's ate them alive.

Maybe not everything in my life but certainly everything in my life relating to gun ownership and outdoors pursuits. Look back over the last 50 years at any Government intiative either Federal or Provincial that has had a restrictive or other detrimentral effect on gun ownership, hunting or anything to do with the outdoors and see that it's pretty much all been under Liberal or NDP rule. That's the facts, like it kr not.

Historically...
1932-1933
Specific requirements were added for issuing handgun permits. Before this, applicants only had to be of 'discretion and good character.' They now also had to give reasons for wanting a handgun. Permits could only be issued to protect life or property, or for using a firearm at an approved shooting club. The minimum age for possessing firearms was lowered from 16 to 12 years. Other changes included the creation of the first mandatory minimum consecutive sentence - 2 years for the possession of a handgun or concealable firearm while committing an offence. The punishment for carrying a handgun outside the home or place of business was increased from 3 months to a maximum of 5 years.
The sitting prime minister at that time was R.B. Bennet....a Conservative...

Should also include:
1991-1994
Bill C-17 was introduced. It passed in the House of Commons on November 7, received Senate approval and Royal Assent on December 5, 1991, then came into force between 1992 and 1994. Changes to the FAC system included requiring applicants to provide a photograph and two references; imposing a mandatory 28-day waiting period for an FAC; a mandatory requirement for safety training; and expanding the application form to provide more background information. Bill C-17 also required a more detailed screening check of FAC applicants.
Some other major changes included: increased penalties for firearm-related crimes; new
Criminal Code offences; new definitions for prohibited and restricted weapons; new regulations for firearms dealers; clearly defined regulations for the safe storage, handling and transportation of firearms; and a requirement that firearm regulations be drafted for review by Parliamentary committee before being made by Governor-in-Council. A major focus of the new legislation was the need for controls on military, para-military and high-firepower guns. New controls in this area included the prohibition of large-capacity cartridge magazines for automatic and semi-automatic firearms, the prohibition of automatic firearms that had been converted to avoid the 1978 prohibition (existing owners were exempted); and a series of Orders-in-Council prohibiting or restricting most para-military rifles and some types of non-sporting ammunition.
The Bill C-17 requirement for FAC applicants to show knowledge of the safe handling of firearms came into force in 1994. To demonstrate knowledge, applicants had to pass the test for a firearms safety course approved by a provincial Attorney General, ora firearms officer had to certify that the applicant was competent in handling firearms safely.
Bill C-17 added a requirement that safety courses had to cover firearms laws as well as safety issues.
The sitting Prime Minister at that time was....Brian Mulroney..A Conservative...
