C71 will be sent to the Senate floor for 3rd reading today, without the amendments recommended by the SECD review committee, they were rejected in the vote yesterday. It will be sent back to Parliament after the vote, as was originally written. The only way to defeat it now, is to vote the Liberals out of office in October and hope the Conservatives actually live up to their promise of repealing it. And it is possible that could be defeated in the Senate, if it is presented to them. The "Independent Senators" group voted against the amendments.
Be very aware that if the Conservatives should wind up in a minority gov't, the Libs and NDP will push for a total handgun and autoloader ban, and it will include lever actions and shotguns of any type over 5 rd capacity. IF either the NDP or Libs wind up in power, it pure and simple, will happen in the next term.
