The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Colin Parkinson]

This is where you go wrong, ownership of property isn’t a privilege it is a right and should not be deprived of without a valid legal reason.

If you do not believe in the right to own property, well comrade have I got a good political system to sell you.

Your mistaking the intent behind our firearms laws. It is designed to make it difficult and slowly but surely remove them from society. The designers of said laws made it very clear that was the goal.

At least I can give Allan Rock, points for being honest. Every Liberal government or Ministers have lied repeatedly to legal gun owners.

Property rights as far as I know were never written into the Charter at the bequest of Ed Broadbent - NDP of course.

The government likes it not being written in, theoretically allows them to do things they wouldn’t otherwise.

That being said, I would argue that property rights are a ‘pre-1867’ right and the fact it is written into the Canadian Bill of Rights reinforces that argument. Clearly it is a recognized right even if they refuse to formalize it.

IIRC, it was the provinces that didn’t want property rights included in the Charter. Mind, I don’t recall the feds putting up any fight to secure these rights either.
