Bill S-231 to be retabled - BYE BYE semi's

[mosquito]

I'm pretty sure the Liberal control room is paying very close attention to the hunting/target shooting community's vigilance and aren't about to rock the boat anytime soon. There's too many people still watching who still have open wounds and long memories.

When better to do it than in the first 6 months of their dictatorship? 3 years to scrounge for data, CBC to praise it and the firearms to be reclassified, stored or seized and be gone.... "Australian model"? Boy I hope I am wrong though! A Browning A5 and BLR have always been on my wish list.

The new bill is S-223 and the first reading.... how does that song go.... na na na NA na na na NA hey hey good-bye....

You're serenading the good Senator, right? She is retiring today.

Yeah.... one less parasite in the Senate... she will of course get a pension but atleast she is gone.

Some of her earlier work included some Tweets about Harper and the US and the first try at her idiotic bill.


S-233 (same as this one)

This article was pure BS on the bill by the way... here is part of it, I bolded the stupidest statement of the year award winner.

The British gun control policies have had some impressive results. In 2011, there were just 38 gun deaths in Britain for 63 million inhabitants, while in the same year, Canada had 153 gun deaths for 34 million inhabitants.It has been proven that guns, not people, kill people, unlike what the gun lobby claims.

Bill S-231 is bold and progressive. Through this bill, I intend to accomplish the following: overhaul the current firearms program by prohibiting all firearms in Canada except hunting firearms, firearms used at shooting clubs, and collectors' firearms, which receive special treatment; redefine two of the three existing classes of firearms by making only hunting firearms legal and localizing the prohibition of restricted firearms; limit the transport of circumscribed firearms to transporters — which have no interest other than providing secure transportation — thus controlling the movement of firearms in Canada; replace the registration certificate with an inscription certificate. You can appreciate that the terms "registration" and "registered" have been used so often that we simply thought that using the term "inscription" would eliminate some anxiety. I think that using the term inscription does not evoke feelings of fear; strengthen the role of the RCMP with a statutory provision; 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.

These measures will strengthen our gun control policy and ensure the safety of Canadians.

Hopefully.... but I doubt it will die from that alone.... the mandates to the relevant groups, changes to the stacking the Canadian Firearm Advisory committee, UN numbering etc. look like another of the usual Liberal attacks on the honest and ignoring the criminals.

Fixed it for you. Does she really believe her own lies? Holy frack, who votes these lunatics in?, how did making handguns legal to use only at ranges make the streets safer? You can have all the laws you want, all it will stop is law abiding people, no one else.

The first job of all politicians after they've been elected is to get re-elected. Alienating an entire voting bloc right out of the gate is the best way to guarantee that won't happen because it gives the opposition a lot more time to mount an attack that can easily sway "fence-sitters." Waiting until the end of their first term,then,floating a couple of "trial balloons" (like I think this is) to gauge the depth of opposition is a far better strategy. If it appears the opposition has been vigilant and it could cost the Liberals another re-election,they won't touch it with a ten foot pole. This is just my opinion,but,when it becomes obvious to the Liberal Party that they're about to be turfed,that's when they'll go at the "gun lobby" with everything they've got as a "legacy" piece.

Not sure which is more likely, attack up front and over the next 3 years bribe, propagandize and distort to secure that magic 39% for the next election or a legacy piece they can also use as a hail marry pass to draw the ignorant and fearful to their side on the election.... it will be interesting & painful to see. What the radicals/idiots and the tiny minority with common sense do will affect future taxes. military, economy and debt payment. Budgets, debt (interest payments alone will be $30B each year in 4 years IF interest rates remain the same), economy, international relations, crime and terror, accountability .... I don't like more than a tiny fraction of what the Liberals have done so far to the future so far.

I'm good. Sold all my semis when the registry was abolished. All my guns for that matter.

Doesn't matter to me, I have no guns and throw my bullets by hand. But I am in Alberta, the gun owners out here won't be bullied easily
