Just remember...
Now it's AR15s and SKSs
Wendy et al want to ban 50 BMG and 338 Lapua - military sniper "weapons"
Not a great leap of the imagination to think of that terminology coming our of Blair's pie hole.

But wait, what about the M-24 that's a military sniper weapon too!!! capable of killing at 1000yds or more - better ban those too.
Hand guns? I would say it's a done deal, they just won't do it yet. They will let the municipalities do it and then say they had nothing to do with it.
The current ban has nothing to do with facts and everything to do with cynical manipulation of the population of large urban centres.

Not a big stretch to see where it's going

Ive heard rumblings through the grapevine Kenney and his team are working to block this for Albertans. It should be illegal, and it should have to be taken before the house of commons.

They should just stick to my suggestion of allowing municipalities to set their own gun regs, with transportation corridors with similar rules to the National Parks if your driving through a city with a ban. Should give a boost to the rural population.

If semi autos are such a problem, why dont we see tonnes of issues with them? The fact is we have one of the best background checks in the world, and its the only scientifically proven way to reduce firearm deaths. If I hear someone is a restricted firearm owner, I automatically can assume that he's an upstanding citizen, and can get along with people. The fact is its not the people who hold PAL's who are the issue. Its the criminals and this does nothing to stop them.

In fact we should be doing the opposite, and requiring that every PAL holder keep an AR 15, or SKS, in their safe in case of national emergency. The Swiss werent invaded in WW2 because of a similar policy, and the Japanese knew they couldnt win a fight on American soil.

I will say that if Kenny can protect my firearms he will have my vote for as long as he runs for office. That is a sign of leadership in my books. Doing something that is right not just politically advantagous.

It's not about thick or thin skin. I couldn't give a jack rip about who you are or what patch you work in, folks that have the same opinion as you are every bit as much a sportsman/ gun owners enemy as Blair himself. Your free to have your opinion just so you are aware your think will lead to a full stop gun ban. Don't pretend to be pro gun when your so willing to have someone else's legal property stolen just because you don't want/ have one. Your not pro gun at all. Again which is fine just don't pretend.

sure thing. Your poor feelings still hurt hey? Don’t bother me. I have thick skin. And I completely understand what’s going on and what type of firearms are in question. There are lots that share the same sentiment as myself so you can stop trying to convince us. 🍻

Pssstttt...............A semi-auto by definition cannot be an assault rifle. For a weapon to be classified as an assault rifle it has to have 3 stations on the selector switch- safe, repetition and automatic. Automatic weapons are illegal in Canada and thus no one legally owns one in this country. Further, magazines for weapons such as the AR have to be pinned to only accept 5 rounds, I can put more ammunition in my 10/22 than I can in the mag for an AR in Canada. Why are you focusing on the appearance of the rifle? What is a difference between a .223 calibre round fired from an AR and that same .223 round fired from a varmint rifle?

When someone's opinion is that my rights and freedoms should be taken away from me, then there's going to be some hatred. I hope rhino gets a stocking full of coal this Christmas.

Technically Rhino now qualifies for a time-out with the personal insult.

The word 'ignorant' means either not knowing something or wilfully ignoring something, its not so much an insult as an observation. "Putz" is an insult, and the incorrect use of 'your' when 'you're' is what was needed just makes it more ironic. Also, not knowing who Bill Blair is qualifies as further proof of ignorance.

I agree. Excellent comment. The AO team is gelling...

We're all like minded, all on the same team, all owners of firearms in one capacity or another and only with a united front and the mindset that an attack on one by the government is an attack on all can we hope to stave off this ridiculous notion that restricted gun owners, the most vetted citizens in the nation, should have their private property taken from them in a pathetic attempt by this government to appear to be taking action against gang crime in Toronto.

Putz actually means someone who engages in inconsequential or unproductive activity.... kinda like criticizing someone because of there opinions would be a bit unproductive

I would like this thread to stay alive. If we degrade into insulting each other it will be closed.

This is too important of a topic to be closed right now.

Lets look at this b.s. from a different angle. The Ottawa boneheads are adamant that guns are bad for us, that they have the potential to take away life. Hey boneheads what about vehicles? More people die from auto accidents than guns, just saying. Oh look, that ford killed somebody, we are going ban all fords just because somebody died from that ford. Chargers are gone because they "LOOK" bad. Really, they need to hear it from everyone that their way of thinking is wrong. I would like to know how many ppl died this past year from auto accidents compared to firearm deaths > Just saying

What about drugs....more Canadians killed by drugs than a AR. but JT thought it best to legalize pot. Same lib logic should have Bb and Jt put a new bolt gun in every household for christmas.

It would likely cost about the same as the proposed buy back. Just giving everyone a gun would at least stimulate the economy.
