There is some hope on c71

[32-40win]

It's a start. Mcphedran wanted to attach a handgun ban ti the bill, which Ralphie had already said was beyond the scope of the bill, and it went nowhere, like it should have. Copied from Calibre mag's post today;

Senator McPhedran's amendment has been heard by the SECD and failed to pass with Senators Jaffer and McPhedran being the only two votes in favour.

And Senator McPhedran is no longer in attendance for the remainder of this SECD meeting.

Bill C-71 will require the House of Commons attention again, after the SECD votes to amend C-71 to remove any changes to the existing ATT system.

There are 25 days left on the House of Commons calendar as of today.

... Clause 16 was just defeated, meaning the Senate's report on C-71 will ask the House of Commons to remove it from the bill. This is the clause that disposes with the Harper-added definition of non-restricted firearms, meaning that this clause's defeat in the HoC would ensure that firearms are able to be reclassified back down into the non-restricted category. If Clause 16 remains, no restricted nor prohibited firearms will be able to be re-classified as non-restricted regardless of the merits of that re-classification.

Hmmmm....so....encouraging while at the same time meaningless?
As I understand it....the Senate Commitee pretty much voted to amend (gut)much of the most onerous proposals(good for gun owners),which is an essentially meaningless gesture as it will most likely be restored to its original version (bad for gunowners) when it goes to vote by the Liberal dominated full Senate??
So as expected,gunowners Best hopes are PVC and Vaseline and vote for Scheer in October to repeal c-71 in its entirety
