Return of Long Gun Registry

[trimmer21]

I'm not overly concerned about any implimentation of another registry because I'm sure they NDP and Liberlas know it would be political suicide. At best,they'd be a one term one-of. I'm more concerned about keeping what we already own.

I agree. There are all kinds of tricks they can use to make legal gun ownership onerous and prohibitively expensive. The reclassification and banning of semi autos is likely the first step. The RCMP and OPP under Wynne's marching orders will move quickly to confiscate legally owned guns. They already know where to find them.

Hate to fuel the fire of paranoia...but saw this on Rebel...

This video is what I have said all along. Wynne would ban handguns and semi autos as soon as she was given authority to do so.
It's never about saving lives as they spin it. Far more people are killed by alcohol and it's abuse everyday than by legally owned guns. The Progressive reasoning should make alcohol sales and production illegal right? In fact the government makes a nice income off it. At some point they will want to profit from legal guns. Lock your doors, Mulcair is the next PM.

Lock your doors, Mulcair is the next PM.

Dunno...MulCaire with a minority government and a stacked Conservative senate...it will be a long time before he is able to do anything.

Hummm....maybe that is why Wynne is sucking up to Justine so much.

JT will do whatever Wynne tells him to and he will support anti gun legislation. Isn't Mulcair going to abolish the Senate?

Well, the best defence to make sure that it doesn't happen, is to constantly act as if it is.

There it is. The NDP will give Provinces, cities and municipalities the right to ban handguns. Pretty clear. If it is constitutionally possible you can expect black guns and semis to be gone too.

It's constitutionally possible. But if they wanted to include black guns and semis, don't you think that would be in their platform?

I'm much more concerned about the Liberals, because they have no published position on firearms but of course their long-standing pro-control position goes without saying. There's no way to assess what they might do, given that they won't talk about their ideas.

But the Liberal platform ought to tell us one thing. It's full of things the CPC did that they intend to roll back or end, yet there's not one thing about guns. That tells us guns aren't polling well. They're not an election issue because no one sees getting much traction from them. Might be time to stop catastrophizing here.
