Liberals hope to ban firearms used in Polytechnique, Dawson

On the plus side though is the fact that Trudeau is running a minority gov't that at some point will come apart at the seams.

So, if people just hang on for the 2 years till the "amnesty" is supposedly over chances are better than 50/50 we'll have a new gov't that doesn't continually pander to the lowest demographic or foreign interests.

And, now that Trudeau's opened the door to using "orders in council" to enact legislation I can see this latest liberal attack on legal gun ownership being overturned, not where it belongs, in parliament but, in the Conservative Caucus. [cheer]

Uhh if 4/5 support it, I think promising to reverse it would be what's political suicide.

Give it some time, especially over the next two years of the government and police harassing innocent owners, and then your alleged "4 out of 5 support" will have gone up in smoke. The Tories will be absolutely insane if they don't make the full reversal of all of Trudeau's firearms policies a major plank of their next election platform. They'll shore up all of the rural ridings and most of the suburban ones with something like this. And they'll never win in Toronto again, or in any of the other hard-left cities, so there's no point at all in wasting time, money, or effort trying to placate ridings that already hate them. From the private property aspect, the civil liberties one, and the basics of innocent until proven guilty there's no way it can't be a massive winning policy for them, just like Stephen Harper already proved with abolishing the long-gun registry.

Ten bucks says that until the next election maybe a thousand "assault" firearms that have arbitrarily rendered as illegal will be turned into the police, tops. And, if American gun buy-backs or surrenders are the guidepost, most of those will be ancient junkers that the owners can't sell because they're in such crappy condition or were crap to begin with, like a bunch of old Soviet or Italian garbage-rods. The owners will be tucking the good ones away nice and safe as we speak right now, not to be seen again until a future Conservative government gets rid of this idiotic over-reaction Trudeau's just done. These guys are not going to co-operate in any manner at all, and the only success the Libs will have achieved will have been to make them that much angrier than they already were before. Way to radicalize an already pissed-off demographic, Trudeau. Have fun dealing with the consequences of this decision. :roll:

Hey, how come the RCMP and government haven't quite yet even bothered to tell the press which guns the Nova Scotia killer used in his rampage? Like how many were killed by his own weapons and how many with the guns he stole from the police vehicle he attacked? Are they sort of scared that the new bans will be undermined if it turn out that most of the dead were slain by the police guns he used? Will that not matter at all to the anti-gun fanatics? Or will they then go up another avenue to pursue their agenda and start demanding that the police be disarmed in order "to prevent another such tragedy"? Give them an inch and these quasi-totalitarians will take a million miles from you in the space of a blink of an eye. :evil:

Doesn't matter where a poll is taken. Because in this fair land the majority rules absolutely which gives the bulk of the population in urban Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver the entire right to dictate to everyone else who doesn't live there what they can/can't own and how to live their lives down to the last approved detail. Ain't a democracy that isn't overseen in the slightest by an elected senate, one that actually had some real power to ensure that dissenting citizens don't get trampled by sudden populist decisions made to cynically exploit a recent tragedy, a truly wonderful thing to live under? :roll:

GUNTER: The Liberals' conniving and undemocratic gun control measures

Take the poll anywhere you want, anytime.
Take it in ANY city north of the border, the numbers will be even worse for your case.
Take it in the most rural area. Most still won't give a shit about it.

As I told a nephew us rural types have hunting rifles that LOOK like hunting rifles and WORK as hunting rifles. Just like our 4x4s are dirty and full of dents, not decked with truck nuts and 22" chrome wheels. Their fucking tools, not status symbols.
If they're designed off the drawing board to kill people like assault rifles and handguns, you got very little support behind you.
