User ID: 78054348 United States 02/03/2023 05:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good news, Liberals got shot down over their draconian overreach! Quoting: LTHN. “ OTTAWA — The Liberal government bowed to immense public pressure Friday and scrapped controversial amendments to an existing gun bill that would have broadly expanded the list of banned guns in Canada. The surprise move sends the Liberals back to the drawing board when it comes to moving ahead with their pledge to enact the toughest gun laws Canada has seen in a generation. But Public Safety Marco Mendicino said Friday that the government has listened to concerns that its efforts to do that via Bill C-21 were flawed. “We hear those concerns loud and clear, regret the confusion that this process has caused and are committed to a thoughtful and respectful conversation that is based on facts, not fear,” he said in a statement. “This is an emotional issue, and Canadians are counting on us to get it right.” Two specific packages of proposed changes to the bill were withdrawn Friday. One was known as G46, that include hundreds of pages listing firearms makes and models that would be banned when the bill passed. Some of the guns on the list were already illegal under regulations, but the Liberals were seeking to legislate the bans to make them harder to remove. The list also contained dozens of makes and models that are currently in widespread use throughout the country. Another amendment, known as G4, would have created an “evergreen” definition of what kinds of guns would forever be illegal in Canada.” [link to www.thestar.com (secure)] THEY ARENT SCRAPPING IT!!!!! They are simply taking out SOME sections of the amendment. But majority of the bill will stay. The handgun ban will stay, the AR “variant” ban will stay, the list of over 1500 list of guns now banned will stay. Its the typical 2 steps forward 1 step back tactic of Liberals ramming bans through. But then the indigenous MAY keep there hunting rifles.Seems to be the issue. We are a REPUBLIC.If we can keep it MORAN! A pissed off American Veteran! |

Not likely but lets see. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77067883 are you kidding me? They backed down on this but will come back with a different version. Trudeau has signed Canada up for the UN SMall Arms Treaty which means civilians can own little more than double barreled shotguns and bolt action rifles. |

The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |

"A wise man listens to the message and uses his logic and discernment to process it, a fool negates the message by prejudging the messenger."
