    The only thing I didn’t like about the liberals is the needless gun control they enact that basically banned almost all semi-auto rifles and halted new sales on handguns.

    Of course I want them to fucking solve the housing crisis. Holy shit! Finding a place to stay is insane. They better do that at least.

      Lets be honest, hand guns were pretty much banned before. Nobody wants to call the cops twice every time they go shooting.

        No they were not. And you didn’t need to call the cops to go to the shooting range, it is included in the RPAL.

                You cannot shoot a restricted anywhere other than an approved shooting range.

                Non-restricted weapons have very little control in Canada. This is why a lot of people were pissed at the constant addition of more and more guns. Guns that were non-restricted suddenly became prohibited. These kinds of sweeping bans are not good. Hell we could do away with a lot of bans in canada but just keep the licensing scheme. That is working well enough. There is simply no need to ban semi-autos at all.

      Why do you think the liberal party refuses to pass the electoral reform they promised? They want you hostage. They want you to be desperate and to give up civil liberties to keep the conservatives at bay.
