Return of Long Gun Registry

[Crawdaddy]

Read that this morning and was surprised the CBC waited till today to start the fear mongering about semi-automatic guns. I figured they would have started Tuesday morning. The young Liberal of Canada group and Senator Hervieux-Payette must be jumping with glee reading this.

I hope not I'm hoping my boy is going to have a good hunting opportunity with my firearms.

I'm saying it'll be beyond their control....it will happen because of events, not political posturing.

re-classifying 'dangerous' semi-automatic..... that can be converted to automatic.
I'd like to point out this article.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/...pons-1.3117883

he made semi-automatic weapons in his tool shed..... like seriously. all you need is bare essentials to make them. just like grease gun. but explaining it to a liberal it's just making my head nauseous

[mosquito]

Reclassifications, restrictions, idiocy..... that is what we can expect from the LIEbrals Personally (I have no evidence... yet) but the Australian model where pumps, semi's and anything they can willbe reclassified and turned in and scraped. Heck I wouldn't even be surprised to see the requirements for an ATT for those firearms left over not in police and military hands.

Gun registry? This expert says what Liberals have in mind is MUCH worse

All through the election campaign,the Liberals stated,unequivocally,that there would be no return to to a LGR "under a Liberal watch". The media and the opposition worked their collective arses off to make sure gun control didn't become an election issue,stifling questions at every turn,of course,I'm using 20/20 hindsight. It was enough to swing "red" Tories who were very,very leery of some Conservative legislation (C-51) and foreign policies that wrankled their feathers.
My "read" on this is that all parties know how gun control is pure political poison and want to back away from it as much as possible. After all,there's much more important fish to fry than POing a few million gun owners....again. Would they betray that promise in a first term that will certainly get them booted,maybe forever,in four short years? I don't think they're that stupid....I hope.

I hope not I'm hoping my boy is going to have a good hunting opportunity with my firearms.

These are ideologues and it is a Trudeau, with advisers like Gerald Butts and Omar Alghabra they will push through as much as fast and as hard as they can, they will make the Australian 28 days look slow if they can get away with it. No I think they have alot of legislation that will be pushed through as fast as they can and are already written, items like rolling back accountability for Unions and reserves, rolling back tax cuts, carbon taxes, rolling back C-24, rolling back C-42, rolling back mandatory sentences, abandoning the fight against terrorism (ISIL, etc) maybe even the self defense/citizen arrest (Lucky Moose bill) and of course firearms will be one of the first. They will want to do as much damage as fast as they can in the hope that before the next election they can say "see we were right" or people will forget. It will be a real change.... not a good on for most Canadians but a real change.

The prime mission of all politicians starts the very first day they take office and that's to get re-elected. The amount of work required to do what you describe could never realistically be accomplished in one term especially with a very strong opposition and if they do,the Liberals will have the shortest government since Kim Campbell.

Don't forget "Joe Who?"

This is the thing everyone keeps forgetting.

And by the way, there's no reason why the Liberals would repeal the Lucky Moose bill, considering that it was passed with unanimous support. In fact, the original author of that bill was Olivia Chow, who tabled it as a private member's bill. (She was the local MP.) The government defeated it so that they could reintroduce it, and take the credit.

It's also about time people stopped saying the Liberals are planning to repeal C-42. They aren't. They're repealing two provisions only.
