Trudeau’s Gun Ban Showing Cracks As Firearms Community Makes Cultural Gains
"Recent limited victories against the Liberals planned ban of 1,500 models of rifles have all not been as a direct result of legal actions or legislative changes to the ban pushed by the Conservative opposition but is partially due to the Liberals having to moderate themselves in the face of a slowly increasingly pro-firearm rights public.
The main goal of anything done to stop the Liberals ban, such as the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR) attempt to get a legal injunction against the ban, which despite not being granted by the judge, is to help raise more awareness of the issues and the inherently unfair and frankly unconstitutional actions of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.
Recent indications Trudeau is backing down from making the gun buy-back program mandatory is not likely due to him independently changing his mind, but rather knowing his aggressive gun control measures are pushing the voting public towards the gun lobby and moderation will save him from losing a couple of percent off his polling numbers.
Wilson, talking about the issue of gangs in terms of Trudeau’s gun ban, stated:
This is a sign of a floundering government, either unable or unwilling to combat actual crime, but using it just the same to pander to their base with gun bans. Imagine the gang members reading these headlines or listening to the radio, knowing full well they are exempt from this impending legislation.
It would be foolish to argue that more licensed and responsible gun owners would make communities ravaged by gang violence less safe, and the gun-control lobby and Liberal government should be forced into making that ridiculous argument so that the Canadian general public sees they are not actually interested in upholding the public’s safety.
Non-firearms owners have a lot at stake when it comes to Trudeau’s harsh gun-control policies and they should be made aware that as a result they could also have their property rights eroded and safety compromised.
In the final analysis: if the firearms community and the gun lobby keep pushing back against the anti-firearms culture then the political battle to reverse Trudeau’s gun ban will be made a walk-over."
