New gun-control policies coming soon
Here it comes
A re-elected Liberal government will ban some types of "assault-style" rifles, as well as introduce additional restrictions on where firearms can be possessed or stored, according to Bill Blair, who has been the party's pointman on gun control.
The planned measures will be announced "very, very shortly" as part of the Liberals' campaign platform, Blair said in an interview with The Fifth Estate.
"I have recommended that there are certain weapons that are currently not prohibited that should be prohibited, which means no one should be allowed to have those weapons in our society," he said.
"I will tell you that I am confident that a Liberal government will enact effective regulation and legislation … to remove weapons that are, in my opinion, just too dangerous in a civil society."

Not that I'm oblivious to the obvious threat, but one fact I'm hopeful for is Liberals are horrible with breaking their election promises.

My guess is if it’s a semi auto with a detachable mag and pistol grip it will be prohibited.
And allow municipality’s to ban handguns will do nothing since the gang bangers wont give 2 sh!ts

Ahhh the brown faced groper could care less, all he cares about are votes and a seat in the UN....Canada and especially western Canada mean nothing to him or his party.

Liberal ‘logic’: People were buying marijuana anyways so we legalized it, now we can control it
The bulk of illegal firearm use is from those not licensed to own them in the first place. Think this is going to stop them?

Was this planned all along? The timing makes me wonder if it isn't a great distraction from blackface?

Just so everyone is clear, if a thread deals with gov't/political decisions that are directly related to the outdoors and outdoor pursuits, it is allowed. If it becomes just a bashing thread then it too is closed. If it is straight politics and no outdoor angle like this thread, then it is a good bet the op, and those who chime in will be on the sidelines. I can safely speak for all the mods, we are tired of wasting our time on this stuff.

I notice that they are also promising amendment to the storage regs?
From CBC site:
The Liberal gun control platform also promises to:
- Prevent people suspected of posing a danger to themselves or others, including their partners or children, from possessing or acquiring new firearms.
- Require that everyone importing ammunition show proof of a valid firearms licence.
- Strengthen safe-storage laws to make it harder for legal weapons to fall into the hands of criminals.
- Not bring back the long-gun registry.

Isn't a potential ban of rifles or handguns related to outdoor pursuits? Many people hunt with semi autos and many trappers carry handguns for bear protection. I agree with the no bashing but people need to be aware.

Ontario and Quebec will once again decide our government. I hope gun owners there make a better choice.
