The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Haggis]

Buried in last Wednesday's Speech from the Throne was a restatement of the Liberal's promise to implement municipal handgun bans.  I'd expected they would use this speech to announce a national handgun ban. I'm glad I was wrong.

 

[Colin Parkinson]

An outright ban would force them to do something and spend monies they really don't have. They will likely announce a ban as an election promise.

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Complete ban might lose them a confidence vote right now, the moment when/if they have a majority, you'll see a semi-complete ban.

 

[Remius]

How though?  The bloc and NDP would support.

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

A complete ban?  The Bloc?  Hunting is huge there....and I'd say 60/40 NDP.  Even some rural Liberal's might break ranks....


EDIT:  wow, thought we were discussing a complete weapons ban, not just handguns.  My bad....

You are supposing individual MPs would be allowed to vote according to their conscience or constituents wishes. In reality, they would be whipped into voting as a block and woe to those who voted against the party line.

Exactly.

It's also tellling that the RFP for a firm to design a buyback program has been cancelled effective 22 September.

What the heck? I wonder what that means?

Retracting it until ‘WE Want No Guns’ is incorporated in Canada.

Yeah I'm trying not to waste mental energy speculating

 

[Haggis]

What the heck? I wonder what that means?

According to the CSSA, who quoted Public Safety spokesperson Tim Warmington: “The bid evaluation process did not yield to the selection of a successful bidder. A revised Request for Proposal will be introduced in the near future.”.......once WE can submit a $930M bid

All guns are not going to be banned! LOL
I can express my views here on this topic because they're not views that run contrary to the CAF views that are dictated as being politically correct.

And my view is, an extremist and ridiculous position being taken is not in the best interests of those who enjoy gun related activities and sports. A moderate and rational position 'is' the correct approach because:

The socalled soccer moms are a part of the large voting bloc who don't give a fng lick about decent Canadians being allowed to own guns and use them in a responsible way. Alienate them at your own peril!

cheers!

Is it just me, or does this post make absolutely no logical sense?

 

[Jarnhamar]

Seems Everclear to me..

 

[Haggis]

It's not just you.  He's trolling.

 

[Donald H]

It's not just you.  He's trolling.

He got it wrong when he referred to my post as not making any logical sense. Then you got it wrong when you didn't refer to it as not making any tactical sense.

Because that's exactly what it was meant to do! So you better hope that the soccer moms and all the other mommies and daddies don't take the extremism being demonstrated here seriously.

Be careful you don't get caught trolling for the attention of the mommies and daddies!

cheers haggis.

Minister Blair's second attempt to find a private company to administer the OIC's proposed compensated confiscation regime ("buyback") has gone unanswered.

Now what?

 

[Stoker]

They're either put it out again with more favorable terms, give it to the public service to administer or go with grandfathering.

 

[Haggis]

The NDP and Bloc won't support a grandfathering. The Liberals need either one of them to survive the next confidence vote.
